I'm personally thinking of Wilhelmina with the nicknames of Willow and Billie to get around the popular Willow problem lmao
I think Poppy and Myrtle are just fine. Poppy has especially been popular where I live. I know SO MANY young Poppy's My favourite name is Zanthia and this is likely what I will choose. It's similar enough to Cynthia - it sounds normal to me. Ianthe, Penelope and Daphne et are also fine - I wouldn't worry about the spelling issue, especially as some of these are very common names. All kids don't know how to spell common names. Like Charlotte (my name) was spelt many ways upwards and downwards, yet it remains one of the most common names. If you like Pippa, you could always use Philippa and still use it?---"one particular boogie will move mirror massaging with stirring crepe mixture, positioning loaves while in the furnace then toting items in containers" ~ best Russian daing sites (guest, 198.144.149.xxx) (2020)Formally PrincessZ and Princess Magpie

Love these suggestions! My favourites are Ruby, Jade, Jasper (I think as a boy name though), Luna, Violet, Marina, August (still leans masculine for me), Ivy, Selene, Celestine, Heidi (love this!), Laurel, Opaline! Wilhemina is cool hahah but a little too much for me. Zanthia is cool too, I like that. Thank you for the names!
