Aeson -- Neat. I almost want to type Aesop, but that's a cool association / reference point so it ends up being a plus.
Jeremy -- Love it. It's so warm and friendly.
Nicodemus -- Love it. Darn that "Nicoderm" product. It's ruining a great name for a whole generation.
Perseus -- I'm glad it's getting more attention. Percy is a cute nn.
Agatha -- !!! Adore her. Agatha Bluebell adn Agatha Plum are my GP combos for her. She's so sweet and loopy.
Cassiopeia -- So much fun to say out loud. With the obvious nn Cassie I wonder why this one isn't more popular. That's a lie. I (think I) know what it is: "PEE" and frightening vowel clusters. *sigh*
Demelza -- Heaven bless Ms Rowling for introducing a new generation to great names like Demelza which would have been on the endangered species list by now if not for her. I fell in love with the name in the 1970s with the BBC drama "Poldark." The part of Demelza was played by an actress named Angharad. Two name crushes with one character. :-D
Ellamae -- Make it Ella Mae and I'm sold.
Gita -- I knew one once. It's a little harsh sounding with the hard "g" sound (at least that's how she pronounced it.)
Hibiscus -- GP only. Could the nn Biscuit be far behind?
Jobeth -- Not a fan, sorry. I see the "Little Women" attraction. But it's too abrupt for a formal name. If it's a nn, then fine.
Kira -- Love it and Kiril. (Note to self: stop overlooking Cyril)
Mariposa -- Isn't that a chain of stores? Is there another reference that I am missing? If not, the merchandising association makes this a non-starter for me, sorry.
Philadelphia -- This is a huge GP for me. Wait. Make that a huge pleasure, period. It's so grand and Victorian. Nn Del would be neat.
Sesame -- Your'e joking, right? Salome, yes. Sesame, no.
Theodora -- Gorgeous. And so many nns: Thea, Theda, Tedra, Dorie, Dodie, Dottie, etc.
Virtue -- Asking for trouble.

Mariposa means butterfly in Spanish. :)

Ah! Thank you.
I'll have to let that settle in before I can say how I feel about Mariposa as a name. But I do get the attraction now.
