"Elegant" Names
I'm curious, what names do you consider "elegant"? Or, what names sound "elegant" to you? I have a tendency to like smooth, flowing combinations. However, several of my favorite names sound strange with my boyfriend's last name, which is rather clunky sounding. I'm looking for a happy medium.Thanks!

It has been mentioned already by one poster, but to give it a second vote, I say Victoria. I have never heard a name that I consider more elegant, and only a few that are just as.
