Aw. Your first list reads like F. Scott FitzGerald characters. I can see many of them in 1910s or 1920s outfits.

Rose? Really? I'm surprised. And Daisy seems pretty mainstream. Let's hope "Downton Abbey" brings new life to the names Edith and Daisy. I've all but given up hope that Ursula can resurrect herself with the general public. *sigh*

As for your second list, I protest Kyle, Luella (although I prefer Llewella), Selma, Enid (adore!), Coretta, Briallen, Noa (as long as the "h" is left off I love this for a girl), Perdita, Tanis, Theia, Maurice (adore), Carey (although I confess I only like the Cary spelling), Corentin, Lir (if it's related to Llyr), Paris, Pollux (I saw on another board a couple claim to have named twins Castor and Pollux. They called the latter Paul. Dad was an astrophysist.)
