Re: Rip my girls' names to shreds
1. Romilly - It's nice. Pretty and frilly but not overly so. I also like Romy a lot.2. Josephine - Love it.3. Viola - Not a fan.

4. Wilhelmina - I like it, but it seems like kind of a big, heavy name for a girl born today. You could always call her Mina or something, though, and that makes it seem more usable.5. Ianthe - Sorry but I just cannot make myself like this name. It's so, so ugly to me.6. Margot - I like Margo, but the t at the end feels unnecessary and pretentious.7. Guinevere - Beautiful and mystical and magical.8. Frances - I've started to really love this lately. Sensible but fun and spunky at the same time. 9. Edith - Really nice, it's so understated and soft.10. Cecily - Like a lacy doily, but not in a bad way.http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/87410

I would call Wilhelmina "Mina", a la Mina Harker. Thank you!
