Not for a child but a fictional character, can anyone help me with suggestions.

I want the surname Grey but am looking for a first name. The character is an interior designer so I'm looking for that type of name

So far I've come up with
Xanthe Grey
Thisbe Grey
Thea Grey
Fleur Grey
Isadora Grey

Anymore?

Thanks for all your great answers. Plimsolls that's a good question. In this case I'm basing the character on my own experience. When I was at art school we used to get really posh girls there who weren't very good at anything particularly interior design but always did well because they knew the right people. (One guy I knew like this was hopeless and couldn't draw his way out of a paper box but went on to design Diana's memorial because he came from the right family). Instead of interior decorators we used to call them inferior desecrators 😃

ElizaLou, I think Thisbe Grey, sounds rather fabulous, I'd go with that, if I were you. 😄

Why would an interior designer have an arty name? Did she change her name? Or were her parents determined she would have that career and named her accordingly? Like the MN "could a judge be named this" test.

Off topic I know but I always notice this when it occurs in books and I've never had a chance to ask before.

Rose if you want a colour.
