Sophia, Sophie, Cara, Paige, Addy, Brooklyn, Ada, Nora, Scarlett, and Melanie are names that we both like and could agree on. I do love Gone With the Wind, but that's not what I was thinking when we discussed these names. I wouldn't name siblings Scarlett and Rhett of course. Scarlett doesn't sound like a whore to me, it sounds like a beautiful, strong willed girl who is hard working and intelligent. Lillian and Victoria and the middle names of my great grandmother. That is why Victoria is used as a mn as well. I don't like Lillian for a mn which is why it's not on that list. Boys fn's are also one's that we like and agree on.

As for mn's, Lynn is after my aunt Linda. I don't think that Linda works well as a mn so I shortened it. Kathleen is my mother's name also and the most wonderful person in the world to me so I would name my child after her. Laura is my aunt's name and my mn. Joy, Blythe, and Allison are all very close friends of mine that I would't hestitate to honor for being wonderful people. Rae is my grandmother's mn and my cousin's mn. Sylvia was my first and favorite ballet instructor and is the most beautiful and talented woman that I have ever met. Arwen is a name that my SO likes so I agreed to it as a mn. All boys mn's are for similar family and friends" my uncles, grandfather, brother, SO, cousin, etc. Vaughan is after my favorite composer and sounds classic and sophisticated to me.
