I agree. Ermengarde is very fun. A bit too bold for my taste though. Ehrengard is also interesting but looks very strange to me.
Amalia's nice, but is too close to my name,
Amy imo. I have a wierd thing about naming children after parents, at least in fns. I actually really like
Rainer. I've been mulling that over, but with English pronunciation. I want to like
Emil, but I'm reminded of Emeril, the Italian TV chef. Hmm I bet there would be some wonderful names on X's mother's family tree, but she probably doesn't know who real parents are since she was adopted by Italians. She might though. Maybe I'll look into that one day. You've given me a couple things to think about. Thanks.
