Pandora
Keziah

Melody,

when I suggested it DH thought I was joking and started laughing manically.

Fuck wit.

[MoggieMaeEverso]

I really like

Galadriel
Inanna
Anahata
Boedicaa

And when I was little, I thought that Gazette was the most beautiful name in the world.

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

Persephone.
Clemency
Rainbow

[xalyssx]

Guinevere
Imelza

[BikeRunSki]

I really like Lorellei, but the Lorellei of German mythology were horrible creatures, which is largely wa

[BikeRunSki]

.... Largely what put me off.

[CupcakesAndFizz]

Came on just to add Jezebel, and can see lots of people agree!! Beautiful name.

And Lucifer...

[CupcakesAndFizz]

Also Sherezada

[kelda]

I see Adelaide has been mentioned a couple of times, but I much prefer the germanic version Adelheide, shorted to Heidi.

[crapfatbanana]

Loads of beautiful names here that I like and would consider using if I was ever to have another.

The name I love but couldn't use is Columbine as it just reminds me of the Columbine High School massacre.

[AngharadTheSplendid]

Guinevere, Xanthe, Sheherezade. I am considering Persephone and Seraphina for this one though.

[3luckystars]

How do you pronounce Sheherezade? I keep saying Shezzarade, like lemonade when I read it here.

[Gummibears]

I'd pronounce Sheherezade like its written - She-her-a-zade. Is that not correct?

[Gummibears]

with the her part pronounced like hair

[CityFox]

Remedios

[CupcakesAndFizz]

Whoops, spelled it wrong. Sheherezade. I'd pronounce it She-hair-ez-ah-da.

[TwistInMySobriety]

Funnily enough I was thinking of adding Sheherazade to this thread earlier on. Just gorgeous but a bit daft with DS's very Scottish name.

[Lottie2611]

Dolly

[ktt512]

MrWriter - Melody is the only name that DP and I have actually agreed on (for our not yet conceived baby)! The only thing that bothers me slightly is the nn 'mellie' which I love and I know I would call her, but it definitely rhymes with smelly. And if anyone here watches Scandal, unfortunately 'Smelly Mellie' was a thing and now I can't stop thinking about it.

And then there's that Ariel from the Little Mermaid's daughter is called Melody and would people associate the two? I'm not sure how I feel about naming my DD after a disney princess...I think part of me loves it though...

But all that said, I still love the name a lot.

[Raines100]

I've always loved Estelle, but Friends put me off for life. Now I just hear, 'Joey, it's Estelle.'
Also love Adelaine but it's the name of DH's dippy cousin, so didn't even bother suggesting it.

[illjusttalktomyself]

3luckystars 5madthings my daughter is called Indianna my other 3 girls also have unusual names but I can't say what they are as it will out me, everyone always comments how lovely they are, my dc9 if a called maybe Scarlett which is more common than the others

[illjusttalktomyself]

If a girl then maybe called* sorry awful typos

[CatchIt]

Heidi. I love it. DH less so. As it turns out we're having a boy so it will remain unused I also like Imogen.

[CatchIt]

Also very pleased to see DDs name on this list. We thought we were having a boy so a girl was a bit of a surprise! I named her after one of my favourite British actresses.

[NorbertDentressangle]

Hepzibah
Arriety
