I really love my girls' list, but I'm starting to get bored with it. If you guys wouldn't mind, I'd love to hear some of your favorites, or any that come to mind. I'm interested in older, less common classic names and uncommon but not too unusual names, but feel free to list just about any kind of name. Thanks in advance!

Lately I've been crushing on Adela, I think it's so sweet and nice, yet strong at the same time. A bit like the lovely Charlotte, which has also snaked its way onto my list as a middle name, though I haven't found the perfect spot for it. I've also been loving Christiana lately, and even though I'm not loving Margot enough to put it on my list, Margot Christiana is so cute! I've also added Margaret to my list, she would go by Mamie all the time. Thomasina is sweet, I love its nickname, Tamsin. I also love Rosannah. I know it's technically a "smoosh" but it's so darn sweet! Johanna is a nice name, as is Susannah. On nameberry the other day, I saw the combo Augustine Rose, it isn't for me but I still thought it was very cute. Frances is a newbie on my list, I love it! Mercy and Temperance have been on my list for a while and I quite like them. Prudence, with the nickname Prue, is uncommon and cute. I love the Hebrew Elora, I think the combos Elora Vivienne and Elora Frances are perfect. Also, Winstella, nickname Winnie, is so darling!

Thanks for the suggestions! Adela is quite pretty, and I actually just took Maya Charlotte off my list so I'm iffy on Charlotte. Johanna is pretty and I love the nickname Jo but I know a Johanna so it's a bit weird for me. Mercy is a sweet name I've dabbled with before but I'm not sure how I feel about it being a word name. Prudence "Prue" is a name I've considered before and I do like it but am not sure about adding it to my list. I've never heard Winstella long for Winnie, but it's cute! And also, I really like Elora, but am unsure how to pronounce it... do you say it Ell-OR-uh (Like Laura with Ell in front of it) or ELL-or-uh? I like the first way better, but I don't want to pronounce it "wrong."

I say it Ell-LORE-uh, so the first way you listed.

Thank you! I really like Bridget (it's been on and off my list), Fallon, Harper, Karina, Lacey, Piper, Rosalie, & Willow. I'm really considering adding Rosalie to my list since it's been bouncing around my brain for a while.
