Gallant and Blossom, how lovely! I can't tell if I mean that genuinely or not.Delhi maybe makes sense because of British imperialism and newfound Western interest in India at the time? I don't know when the city actually came to be called Delhi though.Helmet and Catchick made me laugh out loud... I'm a Catchick.I quite like some of these girl names. Ivyleaf is intriguing, Argentine as well. Lilymaud is cool as heck.

Nineveh - I have not heard of this - do you like Nevaeh? They're sort of similar.

Nineveh is an ancient Mesopotamian city on the eastern bank of the Tigris River, and capital of the Neo-Assyrian Empire.

No, I do not like Nevaeh, or Nineveh particularly, just found it interesting to see it used.

Okay, I didn't know. It reminds me of Nevaeh and I thought you liked Nineveh as a name.
