Re: WDYTO...
in reply to a message by Astrid
Melisande and Cecilia are just lovely. I have always liked those.
Vilhelmine is not really my style, as I have always liked the variation of Willamina, but I can see that you like some more bolder sounds.
I would call your girl's style "Eastern European Frill", mostly because you seem to like the elongated versions of pretty standard names, from other. Outside of Astrid, of course... which I also love but would never personally use.
Your boy's names seem a little safer to me, a little more standard, but still handsome. I like Otto and Leif and Johannes as is, but prefer Nicholas, Felix, Rudolph and Hendric over Niklaus, Feliks, Rudolf and Hendrik. I guess I like my guy's names just a bit softer.
Nice list though, and many would make decent sibsets.
My favorites would be Johannes and Cecilia or Niklaus and Melisande.
