Can't say I love any of these, however, I am surprised by an elderly Kristin and Haven! I think Dionisia's parents were pretty badass as well. I find myself liking Cyprienne the most. It has a lovely relaxing sound to it. Finally, Hanspeter makes me giggle. Now that would be some name to live with in an English-speaking culture, lol.

Vizminda!! This is short for Luzviminda I am sure... which I jokingly suggest to my husband all the time.
It's a Filipino name based on the three main Islands of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. It's incredibly old-fashioned (but spunky I think!). Vizminda is fantastic and delightful!
Love to meet an elderly Haven, Kristin or Audrah. I love evidence of names being cyclical... plus I am sure their parents were considered bold back then!
Zina Ignazia is amazing. I adore it. Though, I might have spelled is Sina Ignazia.
Lagrimas and Bohdan are smile-inducing. Ridiculous, but great.

So awesome that you know about Vizminda!! Thank you for sharing. It may seem old fashioned in Filipino circles, but it's super cool and new in my world!

Ahhh these are all fantastic, just my cup of tea.
Love Hanspeter & Josie on a dude, used to work with a Vreni & it's great to see Aud, & wow, Zina Ignazia, it's like fireworks!
Also I just looked up Snjólaug and it seems to mean something like 'snow bride' which is rather wonderful: http://www.nordicnames.de/w/index.php?title=Sni%C3%B3laug
Cremilde is kind of nice, and reminding me of a Victorian woman I came across last week called Creamaleanouss - not a mistranscription!

Creamaleanouss - I wonder what the story behind that is??
I thought Snjólaug must mean "snow woman" or something along those lines - I really like that one too!

I saw it and immediately thought it had been written down wrong and must be something else, so I checked her out, and lo, she was Creamaleaness at birth, Creamaleness in the census and Creamaleanouss at marriage. Pls to invent me a time-machine so I can interview her mother and find out wtf it was all about?
There were brothers: Alphonso de Lamartine, Vanburen Randolph and Alonzo Leonidas. These are pretty startling for Victorian England.
And a sister who died as an infant, not giving me much data, but she's down as Orianna Bernadeen Canawayleanna. @@!!

Alphonso and Alonzo as brothers - amazing. Orianna actually got the most boring name!

Lagrimas
I think Lagrimas might actually have been female - it was unclear from the sighting. I Googled it and it seems to be a Spanish/Portuguese word meaning "tears, heartache". So something tells me it's a female name, maybe related to the "our lady of sad things" family of names?

I did wonder when I saw it if it had something to do with tears, as it reminds me of lacrimal.
