HelpRe: Lesser Used Older Names For Girls
in reply to a message by I Love Jesus
This would be my short list...
Doris - I like the sound/look; don't love the meaning...although I could pretend it was related to "doron (gift)"...but I think I prefer Dorcas, anyway.
Thelma - love Velma, but idk, the Th makes it seem less compelling
Edith - always makes me think of green for some reason (which is a good thing); also have an older family member named this
Beatrice - some version of it pops into my head a lot for combos, though usually prefer Beatrix or Beatriz
Gertrude - have a positive personal association with it and a soft spot for Trudy
Winifred - love the meaning and tend to like feminine D endings
Prudence - GP, but ultimately probably I would avoid a virtue name
If I gave birth today, I'd pick Gertrude. It's just the one I feel most connected to. I'd maybe call her Trudy or Tru sometimes.
