And I've always adored Daisy (since reading The Great Gatsby). <br /><br />Cloud made me recall a name I hadn't heard before but has popped up recently: A friend of mine became an aunt; her niece is named Ciel, which I believe is French for "sky." Quite pretty, don't you think?nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06751056646800096858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317440380138960058.post-17179143497173437592011-12-14T09:13:35.343-06:002011-12-14T09:13:35.343-06:00Oh, yes!

Or in vintage books, the endpapers might have the names of previous owners penciled in, and those are often wonderful too.eBirdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777366202173446481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317440380138960058.post-84828375666508773542011-12-14T08:32:22.943-06:002011-12-14T08:32:22.943-06:00You always come up with such delightful combos.

There was no middle and I couldn't tell if it was a boy or a girl, but I love it when I find a name I've never seen before. I also recently saw a baby boy named Golden. :)<br /><br />Sarah<br /><br />PJ, I love Matilda Kite!Name Soireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758539370872679236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317440380138960058.post-63101572674302436312011-12-14T07:52:55.050-06:002011-12-14T07:52:55.050-06:00Oh, I love Silvestra Snow, P.J.!
eBirdie, I'm...Oh, I love Silvestra Snow, P.J.!<br /><br />eBirdie, I'm going to post here your book finds from a previous post, where I first announced I'd be doing "thrifted names." I hope that's alright. You listed such great ones, so I want to share them here, too!<br /><br />eBirdie's previous comment on names found in vintage books:<br /><br />eBirdie said...<br />I look forward to seeing your thrifted names lists! One of the most fascinating things to me about helping my mother when she was cleaning up her parents' estate a few years ago were the great vintage books and the names in them.<br /><br />There were a lot of The Five Little Peppers books, and they had some great names:<br />-Phronsie (Sophronia)...which is a pretty fantastic name in contrast to its meaning: "sensible"<br />-Polly (Mary)<br />-Ben (Ebenezer)<br />-Davie (David)<br />-Joel<br />-Horatio<br />-Jasper<br /><br />Then there was The Adventures of Tippy<br />The dedication is to Lloyd, Cookie, Do, Roger, Lila, Wally, Cyrilla, Matty, and Little Cora...and these are some of the names in the story itself:<br />-Sir Ignatius Tippitolio<br />-Oriella<br />-Titus<br />-Beatrix<br />-Tobias<br />-Simon<br />-Cornelius<br />-Fritz<br />-Kaspar<br />-Josi<br /><br />That's probably enough for now, ha! Vintage books are so much fun - and they look great on the shelf too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317440380138960058.post-63333269674000019192011-12-13T18:56:29.543-06:002011-12-13T18:56:29.543-06:00Wow, I love so many of these! A great post - and a...Wow, I love so many of these! A great post - and an amazing book by the looks of it!<br /><br />Some favs:<br /><br />Cloud - I could imagine this on a little girl - a peaceful, creative soul. Perhaps anchored with a more classic name - like Cloud Marceline or Cloud Violetta. <br /><br />{As an aside, it does remind me of Cloud Strife, the character from Final Fantasy VII - a video game with some amazing names.)<br /><br />Bravely, Hero, Valentine and Snow are all fantastic.<br /><br />Of your combos, I adore:<br /><br />Ernest Snow - he sounds like a character from a vintage noir film.<br /><br />Miriam Feather Augusta - she'd just be the perfect person to have around for a dinner party, in my imagination.<br /><br />Rupert Sail (Ru) - I imagine this little boy going on to study the classics or anthropology. Sail adds a lovely whimsy to Rupert. <br /><br /><br />A few other combos I like:<br /><br />Clara Dandelion<br />Magnolia Kite (nn Nola or Kitty)<br />Silvestra Snow (nn Silva)<br /><br />Augustus Cloud with nn 'Gull'P.J.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317440380138960058.post-32517734284243227262011-12-13T13:47:13.847-06:002011-12-13T13:47:13.847-06:00Elsa Wren, Hero Valentine, and Henrietta Dove are ...Elsa Wren, Hero Valentine, and Henrietta Dove are my favorites here.

(Thinking "hark, the herald angels sing ...")<br /><br />Dandelion is nice, I've always thought it should be getting more attention. I like Kite, Hero, Valentine and Golden, too.eponymiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12772000020340316053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317440380138960058.post-74146881590963384662011-12-13T09:42:55.558-06:002011-12-13T09:42:55.558-06:00Oh, some lovely gems there!
