There's a Sunshine in the Victorian cemetery beside my flat, I've always loved that.
I knew a little girl called Candelaria years ago and thought it was very pretty.

@faerylune I like Rosabel too. Lumi means snow in a Scandinavian language and I believe Nerys is welsh and the sister name to Carys

On the Netflix version of Little House on the Prairie there's a teenage girl character called Romanzy.
I really like it.
