I am apparently all over the map, style wise. I really looked at my top lists the other day and was struck by the fact that I seem to have at least 2 separate styles. Weird and funky. here, I’ve grouped them in similar piles:
Group 1
Maud India Scarlett
Ottilie Alice Ghislaine
Zelda Lucy Violet
Edith Zenobia Violet
Lilias Mehetabel [...]

Jemima
I’ve been thinking about Jemima a lot recently. I think it all started with me thinking twinny again (they do run in the family and I’ve already had one set.. so I figure, potentially planning isn’t an awful thing to do). So I asked him what he’d name girl twins. He said Clementine & Jemima. [...]

The Girly Wildcards
I have far too many wildcards, those combos I love but not as much as the top ones. Or in some cases, more, but I find them a tiny bit unwieldy for day to day use.
Ideally, I’d have a top 10 and 10 wildcards. Recently I’ve added three names to the wildcard list, bringing the total [...]

Clementine Redux
Working on the thought I barely recalled: Clementine, nn Cleo. Since I adore Cleo and thoroughly like Clementine I figured I should try out some different combos for her, see if anything really jumps out out me. Wanna see?
Here goes:
Clementine Portia Clotilde – love the lush feel of this one
Clementine Lucy Isobel – [...]

Beatrix, Again
I can’t seem to let go of Beatrix, but I am rethinking her combo. Beatrix Poppy Elinor charms me with her upbeat sound and her bright colors but it feels almost too “British” if that makes any sense. But Beatrix, I can’t shake her off. I keep thinking “I hear her a lot online” And [...]

Jemima
She’s risen to #3, right behind Cecily & Ottoline and directly ahead of Lucretia. I’m really loving Jemima and her nickname options of Jemma & Mimi. I find her fresh, sprightly and feminine. Jemima’s really a lovely name if you can get past the pancake thing! I’ve had Jemima Frances Ruby on my list [...]

Araminta & Jemima – the battling girls
I don’t think I’ve brought her up much recently but she’s climbing my list rather quickly, I am completely charmed by her sound and her color, which is silvery-white. I like that she’s a literary name; she fits in the group with Zuleika for me. I’m also charmed by her multiple nicknames. No Minty here (She’s [...]

Henrietta – Hettie, Hattie, Etta, Harriet
Zuleika – Zuzu, Zooey
And if you want to see the rest [...]

Cecily & Cecilia
Cecilia has been one of my favorite names since at least Kindergarten. It was my Babci’s name. I was nearly named for her which would have been weird as a kid, as my BFF is named Cecilia! So, move forward all these years later and I am still loving Cecilia. Seems like a perfect sister for [...]
