Suggestion of whimsical names

[GoldenRosebee]

Looking for acceptable and established, but unusual whimsical names. Unusual, as in outside top 100, not unique. Would prefer if origin is of mythology or literature or history, but they also should be magical. Looking at European names mostly.

Names that I consider whimsical, but looking for more suggestions, especially according to first paragraph criteria
Aurora
Thisbe
Nimue
Juliet
Eluned
Amoret
Olwen
Freya
Cecily
Twyla
etc...

Whimsical is not the vibe this gives to me these days, more terrifying parents. Their son is called Forrest, with two fs

Tanzy
Nimue
Nanette
Morgana
Faye
Tay

Allegra
Paloma
Fernanda
Tristram
Lucian
Cedric
Elva
Iseult
Clover
Sorrel
Basil
Griffen
Gawain
Manon

Beau
Dorian
Daphne
Dymphna
Delilah
Caspar
Lyra
Caspian
Jasper

Peregrine
Dashiel

Anything Arthurian, practically anything Welsh or that could reasonably be said to belong to a flower fairy, I think

Clovis
Doris
Guthrie
Algernon
Odo
Nanette

Calypso

Please remember you are naming a human not a pet!

Melody

Have we read the same book 😆

Jonathan Strange..

OP, Freya is as popular as Elodie. Don't do either of them.

Clovis, Odo and Algernon are male names. OP seems to be looking for female names?

Well I'm Irish and I'll give you Gobnait. That'll sort any whimsical nonsense 😁

Echo
Misty
Nimue

All are the names of teenagers I know.

Sunny.
Aspen.
Pearl
Melody.
Tiana.
Fleur
Maple.
Tulip.
Prairie.
Melrose.
Orchid.
Astoria
Heather.

I came here to say Elodie (there are 2 in the baby group I go to though so may not be what the OP is after)

I also know an Elowyn which i think is very pretty.

It will be back, along with Attracta and Carmel!

Aelfwyn

Cymbeline
Topsy
Myrtle
Bloom
Fairlie
Fritha
Cristobel

I know siblings named Echo and Storm!

Apparently St John is a known old English first name as well as being a surname.
It seems to be pronounced Sinjin.

A dot after the t is another option!

Wisty

Ariadne
Arietti
Seraphina
Cecilie
Elula

Aisling (dream)
Sadhb /Sive (fairy)
Blath - flower
Realtin - little star.
Suin
Violet
Indigo
Lila

Not so much Sinjin as Sinj’n as in fish ‘n chips. Older MN-ers will remember Norman St John-Stevas, and there’s St John Rivers in Jane Eyre.

Well yes, that's what I thought and then looked it up and was given that spelling to illustrate the pronunciation.
Naturally this was courtesy of AI.

That's a lesson to have the courage of my convictions; thanks!

I remember the politician too!

I once met a woman called Winsome.

Patience.
Guinevere
Morgaine
Ygraine
Elaine
Niniane (yes I like Arthurian books)
Ishbel

Chimichanga
Fluffy

Quiddity

Honoria
Torquil
Fettucine
Pashmina
Winceyette
Hugh
Framboise
