Bessie Anna
Myra Eva

They are fun names! For myself, I think I'd like to be a Nancy.For a child, I'd use Bessie Anna. I would call her Bessie and Bea.

They're not awful names at all (except perhaps Ozzie for a female). If I had to give myself one of these names, I'd go with Eva. For a ds, I'd use Thomas.

Ozzie is my ancestress, and it’s what she went by! I agree it’s not very nice and I have to wonder how they came up with it.

I like/love Martha, Mary, Evie Rosettie, Nancy, Bessie Anna, Eva, Thomas, William and Joseph. If I had to choose one of each then it would be Joseph Virgil and Bessie Anna.

These are fun! I feel like they were thrown together in the most whimsical way, like the Odd Couple, and they just work. Their charm supersedes fit or flow. I really like Zula. It's a party to say.I would choose Bessie Anna for myself and Evie Rosettie for a kid. I do love Marion Quincy. Darn it! I could have included Marion in my last post featuring (now) feminine names as middle names for boys. Marion would fit right in. I need to find a first name for Marion.

Evie Rosettie is fun, but sing-song - Evie Rosetta would be lovely. The boys' names are very tame, almost boring in comparison to the girls. I'd use Anna, which is dull of me, but I do like the flair a lot of the other names have.

ZulaI am almost always drawn to feminine names that start with Z. They tend to have a lot of dash. And I think the initial Z makes for a great monogram. Zula is new to me. I like It.
