I know a German lass named Svenja, and have loved the name since I first happened upon it. A similar name I also love is Ksenia.
ReplyDeleteI'm as surprised as you to see Virgil on a girl, but hey ho. Maybe it's the norm in their country?
Flora Hyancinth. Swoon. It may be corny but it sure is pretty.
ReplyDeletePlease don't tell me Cvetanka is a shot-putter...
ReplyDeleteVitiny is pretty -- I like Khmer names a lot.
Liezel, and various spellings, will always be a name I'll love from afar! Reminds me of the Sound of Music :)
