I'm completely enchanted by Aletta. Though etymologically unrelated, the name reminds me of ala ("wing" in Latin), and the lissome "etta" makes it soar even more serenely. Your thoughts?

Here are some combinations:

Aletta Beatrice / Beatrix
Aletta Bertille
Aletta Blythe
Aletta Cicely
Aletta Cleo / Clio
Aletta Constance
Aletta Eugenie
Aletta Eulalie
Aletta Fern
Aletta Frances
Aletta Harriet
Aletta Ingrid
Aletta Josephine
Aletta Lucile
Aletta Lucy
Aletta Margery / Marjorie / Marjory
Aletta Marguerite
Aletta Marian / Marion
Aletta Marigold
Aletta Mary
Aletta Mathilde
Aletta Maxine
Aletta Millicent
Aletta Miriam
Aletta Muriel
Aletta Nadine
Aletta Peony
Aletta Rachel
Aletta Raphaelle
Aletta Rosalind
Aletta Rosamond / Rosamund
Aletta Rosemary
Aletta Roxane
Aletta Sibyl
Aletta Sophie
Aletta Susan
Aletta Vivien
Aletta Xanthe

I think it would be cute as a nickname.

Aletta isn't really my style although I do understand its appeal.

Of your combos, I like these best:

Aletta Marguerite
Aletta Marigold
Aletta Miriam -- especially nice
Aletta Rosalind
Aletta Rosemary -- ditto
Aletta Roxane
Aletta Sophie

I'd personally avoid any mn containing the letter l when paired with Aletta.

Aletta Xanthe

Aletta Harriet Fern
