I LOVE your name list - we like a lot of the same names! Although, most of the names you would only use as MN, I really like as FN (or MN). So whatever your style is, it's probably my style too.

Rosalie - Same same lol, it's still nice! Maybe if you have a kiddo far enough into the future...
Scarlett~ love
Seraphina/Seraphine*~ haven't decided if I love or hate it
Violet~ pretty
Wilhelmina~ elegant and nice
Willa~ adore! It's a truly stunning name!
As for your style... People tell me I am classic/traditional with a modern twist, and I adore half your names, so I bet your style must be similar! Especially for names like Nikolai, which has the traditional Nick like Nicholas yet a more modern appeal to it! Or even if you use a combo like Willa Josephine maybe? Willa definitely sounds noe and trendy (though it isn't!!!! Woot! ) and romantic! A lot of girls names of this time seem to be the 'romantic' type such as Sophia and Isabel. So it sounds more modern like, and Josephine definitely sounds traditional.
Hope my ramblings make sense... And help lol!

The names with asterisks are my favorites, the ones that I would definitley use as first names. My first post was a bit confusing, sorry.
I have noticed before that we have similar tastes!
Hayden Taylor,
I love Willa Josephine! It is on my list! I think 'romantic' describes it perfectly!
Bekas,
I do like Ariel for a boy but I think I would be putting a big mark on him for teasing Not sure that I like Aric much. I do like Audric but like you said might be a bit of a stretch.
Thanks all!

I read an article about how the trend for girls names is romantic girls names And I had to agree! Sophia, Isabel, Olivia, Chloe, Victoria, etc. All seem to have a romantic feel to it! I kinda like it, though these names would stand out in the way they deserve if they werent so overused
