HelpFavorite names not in database?
What are your favorite names that are not in the database (ie not even among submitted names)?
Mine are mostly very...um, odd.
Amarantine (am-a-ran-TEEN) - actually the name of an Enya album.
Amorina - from an old Swedish play.
Apollinaria
Caparina - I read it in a name book where it said it is Spanish for a type of butterfly.
Celestite - it's from a manga. The name of a crystal.
Citlalmina - from Aztec, means "meteorites."
Ellemina - el-e-MEE-na. I read about someone who had named her daughter this and I thought it was so cute.
Ellentine (el-len-TEEN) - I've seen it a few times here in Sweden, but I don't know anything about it, really.
Frayda - Yiddish name, from the word for "joy". I pronounce it FREY-da, but ti might be FRYE-da (I don't speak Yiddish).
Japonica - it's a flower and I know it's not a "real" name, but it sounds so beautiful!
Meadowlark - actually it's from a Sarah Brightman song I've always loved.
Minnaloushe - see this post: http://www.behindthename.com/bb/fact/4255008
Minonna-Nell - a minor character in Mio, my Mio by Astrid Lindgren.
Naïade - French for naiad, mermaid.
Nanako - Japanese, not sure what it means. A book I read said "apple child", but the Japanese word for apple is ringo. It might mean "seventh child", though.
Nanouschka - I once studied with a girl called Nanouschka. I never got to know her very well, but I think she was from India.
Nápla - Irish form of Annabel.
November Snow - OK, it's cheesy, but I found it on Norah's Name Nerd page and thought it was so beautiful!
Nymphaea - "water lily."
Orianthi - Greek, but I don't know the meaning, something with flowers.
Quintessence - yes, cheesy again, but I really like this word.
Rosabeth
Rosenny - made up by me as a misreading of Rosenby. Pr. ro-SEN-ny.
Rosewen - someone here mentioned it and I thought it was pretty.
Sentyabrina - Russian; means something like "September child."
Snowfall - yes, silly...but beautiful.
Sophannagh - there was a member here called Sophannagh...I really like it, but I don't know anything about it.
Toltse - the book where I found it said it's Yiddish for "Dolce.", ie, sweet.
Vildana - don't know the meaning; found in article about girl in Bosnia.
Windflower - a favorite flower.
Xué Xiâo - means "snow morning" in Chinese.
If you know anything about any of these names, please tell me (or please tell us all)!
Does the sea exist
Because of our longing?
