Re: Girls' names from England, 1250-1450 (D-F)
I like:
Diamanda
Edda - common in Iceland
Edonea
Eleanor
Elena
Elianora
Elicia
Elinora
Emeline
Emelote
Evelot
Felis - why not, it means cat! ;)These also stand out:
Diota - too close to "idiot"
Duce - Il Duce...
Dye - since "dye" actually is a verb and also sounds like "die"
Dyot - same as Diota
Ebbot - this actually has become rather popular for boys in Sweden! There is a musician who calls himself Ebbot Lundberg, although his real name is Torbjörn. You see, a common nn for Torbjörn is Tobbe - which he just spelled backwards!
Flour - heh Does the sea exist
Because of our longing?
