Agnes is the Latinized form of the Greek name Ἅγνη (Hagne) which is derived from ἁγνός (hagnos) meaning "chaste". It is also associated with the Latin agnus meaning "lamb". A sweet, oft-overlooked name.

Jay recently had a dream in which we had a daughter named Agnes. I am smitten. I could 100% see us with an Agnes—although her older brother was Perkins and I've yet to warm to that!

Dorothy is the English and feminine form of a Late Greek name Δωρόθεος (Dorotheos) , which meant "gift of god" from Greek δῶρον (doron) meaning "gift" and θεός (theos) meaning "god".

It reminds me of the simplicity of childhood and Dorothy Gale with her adventures in Oz.

Blythe is from the Old English bliþe meaning "cheerful". It gives me sweet, summer-in-the-country vibes like blue skies and flowers dotting a field.

Flora is from the Latin flos meaning "flower". Flora was the Roman goddess of flowers and spring.

I associate Flora with flowers, of course, and my do I love them! I had never even known that I enjoyed flowers as much as I do until Jay started sending them to me. I had only received flowers once before him and it was a negative association. Now I look forward to them gleefully as every holiday or event approaches. And when he sends them just because? Be still my heart!

Rue is from the Latin ruta which is probably from the Greek ῥυτή (rhyte) which is of uncertain meaning. Rue is a bitter medicinal herb that has been used in medicine and cooking since the middle ages where it was highly regarded. This is very uncommon today as rue is toxic and must be used very sparingly.

Hugo is is from the Germanic element hug meaning "heart, mind, spirit". A meaningful name with a lively sound, it reminds me of laughter and a good book. It's the day-long exploration of winter forests followed by a much anticipated hot chocolate at home.

Harold is from the Old English name Hereweald , derived from the elements here "army" and weald "power, leader, ruler". It was the name of two kings of England including Harold Godwinson, the last Anglo-Saxon king of England. The name fell out of use after the loss of the Battle of Hastings and the Norman Conquest. It was revived in the 19th century.

Harold is cuddly. A sweet teddy bear of a name that makes me think of cozying up with a good book, a hot cup of cocoa, and a soft blanket. I also think of the movie Harold and Maude and the children's book Harold and the Purple Crayon .

I adore the nickname Halley, like Halley's comet. Rollo would be quite cute too. Then there's Holly and Harry as well… Options! Note: Jay is 100% against Halley. ☹️

Arthur is a name of unknown origin but it is thought to be from the Celtic artos meaning "bear".

Arthur has a wintry warm vibe and makes me think of sweaters, tree bark, and bears. It also makes me think of aardvarks thanks to the children's book Arthur.
