Hi all,

Dh and I are a little bit gothy. Well, goths that grew up and got jobs and whatnot. But still really like all things dark, mystical and Victoriana.

We're expecting a little girl soon but still at the brainstorming stage for names.

So far we like:

Ophelia
Briar
Hazel
Beatrice
Cecily
Opal
Phaedra
Violet
Morgan / Morgana

Don't love anything yet.

Can you think of anything we might like? Not comedy witch-style, but would fit our taste. Middle names too please - have no family ones that we'd like to use.

DS is Vincent Zephyr.

When I was a Goth( as opposed to a middle aged woman who has not got over wearing black all the time) , I used to think Eloise was the ultimate Goth name.
But the when of Goth ( and only person who ever looked truely good in black lipstick) was called Willow. She was SO serene.

MrsJayy · 01/11/2017 23:14

Oh i saw Violet on a list Vincent and Violet is nice

Although the most goth person I know wanted to call his daughter Sally.
