Beverly - it's my G'mas name so it's got a special place in my heart. I use to hate it but now I appreciate its velvety antiquity :) It's soft and unexpected
Oona - love Oona and love the meaning! It's calming and serene. Primrose Oona is a combo on my longlist and I love the imagery there.
Julius - Prefer Julian but this is more of a show-stopper. I waver between whether Julius sounds weaker or stronger than Julian... the 's' ending somehow seems wheezy while at the exact same time, the Roman quality of all "-us" names makes it seems tough and sporty
Meriwether - love in theory but not so sure about it's practicality
