Though I’ve never been crazy about Maud, I love the sound of Maud India Scarlett. You just may win me over to that name.
I adore Cecily as a first name, and Marigold’s a fabulous middle. As far as the combinations go, I’m still liking Maud India Scarlett the best.

She’s got the goods, I agree. I am just loving her to pieces. I’m still a touch worried that even with the lavish combo, she may be miffed tht her older sister has the regal girly name. I don’t know. But if I had her tomorrow, all things be hanged, Maud India Scarlett she’d be!
Cecily honors the most, it’s a variation of my Babci’s name, I’ve mentioned before, Pandora’s his mom’s name (not that she goes by it) and Jane was my Mom’s middle. I know they aren’t most people’s cup of tea but they suit us very well and aren’t so far out that they belong on martians.

Just a note that the order’s been updated again and goodness, I forgot to add Zelda! She’s there now!

Sorry you feel that way, Horrors. I’d rather my kids be & sound like old people than have them sound like three year olds forever! 😀

Came across your website and love, love, love the names. If you ever want a project–I’m looking for a new name for myself!

I need help choosing a name!! I have Henrietta and Josephine and having much trouble thinking of another girls name to go – and somehow match! Thoughts? Many thanks.
