I have a penchant for fussy, frilly names that sound as if they could come from the start of last century :)

I have an Edward and a Flora.

I like names like Wilfred, Violet, and so on.

Any ideas ? :)

I had Vera and Veronica on my list, ended up with Verity

I also had a penchant for names like Constance but maybe Chastity would be a step too far? Wink
