Re: Rip my girls' names to shreds
I don't have many bad things to say about these names!1. Romilly - not my usual style of name but I have nothing against it and see its appeal.
2. Josephine - very, very nice!
3. Viola - beautiful! One of my favourites.
4. Wilhelmina - normally I would find a name like this too flouncy and old-fashioned, but I actually think Wilhelmina is gorgeous.
5. Ianthe - not my favourite -anthe name, but short and sweet with a nice sound
6. Margot - one of my favourites. It's just wonderful.
7. Guinevere - so pretty! I like Genevieve better, but Guinevere just sounds so beautiful. In real life I would find it a bit princessy, and the connection to the legends of King Arthur a bit too strong (it's not at all a bad connection, but it's a very uncommon, stand-out name)
8. Frances - somehow I like Francis for a boy, but Frances for a girl I can't bring myself to like.
9. Edith - a great name, especially with Edie as a nickname.
10. Cecily - I switch between whether I like Cecily or Cecilia better. They are both so nice!A few boys' names to go with them:
Rupert
Victor
William
Eric
Emil / Emile
Lysander
Claude
Ambrose
Dashiell
Bruno
Oliver
Francis
Roman
Albert
Colm
Clement
Astor
Quentin
Sinclair
Cillian / Killian
Miles
Louis
Julius
Julian

Thank you! I'd very likely nickname Guinevere "Gwen", so perhaps that might make it a little more usable?
