Well, my real name is Will, so ... should I ever have a daughter, it is only fitting she be named Willemina. ^-^ A feminine name with its origins in The Netherlands, I believe. = P

Just kidding.


Perhaps her name would be Ruth, after who, in my personal worldview, is among the noblest and most admirable of heroines in Scripture.

But if I wanted to go the non-Biblical route? Emilia or Gwendolyn.
I never thought much about the latter name as a child, but it eventually grew on me, so much so that I made it the middle name of my personal favorite created character in the game that I and a longtime friend made about ten years ago for RPGMaker 1, Arc Arath. Gwendolyn is also the first name of my one older sibling, although she has always gone by her middle name Brooke instead, and I have a vague memory of her half-jokingly despising her first name Gwendolyn when we were kids. So I wonder if she'd be insulted or delighted that a heroine in our game was partially named after her.

Gwen is beautiful. Growing up I always thought it was said 'Gew-wen" :joycat:

When I was younger, I thought if I ever had a daughter, I'd name her Molly. I also loved the names Anne and Emily.
I like Emily.

Or Amelia I'd like to name a daughter after Amelia Earhart.
