Help[Opinions] Re: My Collection of Elegant Female Names
in reply to a message by Annonymous2024
I've met:
Josephine
Bethany
Cassandra
Johanna
Annelise
I wouldn't describe Bethany or December as elegant, although I like them. Probably not Avalene either.
My least favorites of the group are Cecily and Avalene. I'd like Cecile and Avelina a little better.
If I had to use one, I'd probably go with Beatrix or Johanna.

Thank you! How would you describe Avalene, if not elegant? "Ahv-uh-lene", not like "Ay-va" by the way.
A lot of these are from literature, like Josephine, Cassandra, Cecily, Beatrix, Ophelia, and Johanna. The others are just favorites :).

I've know a Cassandra and a Johanna (the latter's mother is German) and a Josephine (surprisingly only one of the latter, known as Jo).
My favourite out of your list is Francesca (Cesca or Ceska make passable nns). I don't dislike Cassandra. Not keen on Bethany and don't see it as elegant. Beatrix is preferable to Beatrice imho - less of the "beat rice" connotation, but not exactly elegant in my mind, more spunky. Ophelia and Evangeline are elegant but not my style. I prefer Evelina to Avalene and Annabeth to Annelise.
