Which words make the best names?

[caitlinrose]

I quite like word names, especially in the middle.

So I was curious:

What are your favourite "normal" (as in somewhat in use, common) word names (e.g.: Sky (as Skye), Grace, Hope, Angel, May, Rose, Lily, Brook (as Brooke), River, Robin etc.

What are your favourite words that could work as names (even if you wouldn't use them? (e.g. Ocean, Love, Pixie).

Mine:

More "normal": Lily, Ruby, Poppy, May, Hope, Angel, River, Sky (and Skye), Robin, Violet, Rowan, Felicity.

More unusual: Serendipity (wouldn't use but love the word), Bloom, Raven, Peony, Grey, Verity, Ever.

I wouldn't use most of them but I do like quite a few.

Fawn, Hazel and Ash are my faves.

I wanted to call dd Anemone.
