Re: Names I'm currently digging
in reply to a message by Ismene
Melody - for me, this exudes enough charm to overcome any "dated" association
Melanie - I do think of this as dated and, unfortunately, also think "melanin"
Michelangela "Meg"?
Starling - I'd enjoy this as a middle
Glenna - sunny and sweet; would love to meet one
Bright - kind of an unconventional "virtue" name; generally think of the middle slot for these kinds of names, but I could actually see this sounding well on either gender as a first, which surprises me
Jolyon - a bit odd-sounding, but interesting
Wesley - warm, friendly, cuddly; like it
Maybe you'd like...
Amity
Bellamy
Betony
Bronte
Clary
Cleone
Esti
Goldie
Jubilee

Merrily
Quiterie

Zenoby - found several in census records
