Re: Your favorite names not in the server?
Most names I like that aren't in the server at all are names from litterature or names I've made up, but there are a few that are "real" names (at least I think so):Amarantine
Amorina (from an old Swedish play)
Apollinaria
Caparina (a type of butterfly)
Citlalmina (means "meteorites" in Nahuatl)
Ellemina (rare Swedish name)
Ellentine (ditto)
Frayda (Yiddish for "joy")
Nanako (means "eight child" in Japanese)
Nanouschka ("little sweet Anna" in Russian)
Nápla (Irish variant of Annabel)
Orianthi (Greek, not sure what it means, but the anthi part means flower)
Rosabeth
Rosewen
Sentyabrina (means something like "September child" in Russian)
Toltse (Yiddish variant of Dolce)
Vildana (Bosnian; not sure what it means)
Xué Xiâo (means "snow morning" or "little snow" in Mandarin)
Does the sea exist
Because of our longing?

NanakoNanako means "seven child", not eight. Being has how "nana" is one of the Japanese words for seven.
Just thought you might like to know :)Orianthi - this is lovely! The ori- prefix usually means "eastern" so "eastern flower" maybe?

Sorry, I mixed it up! I have studied some Japanese, but it was long ago...
We learned that shichi is the usual word for seven, so I wasn't really sure if nana was seven or eight...
