ReplyDeleteGreat list. Do you have a fave?
Actually, both spellings were in the list I looked through and I kind of like the e version better, it's more flowy when you write it out in cursive...hehe
ReplyDeleteA favorite, yep, but it's a tie between Dalia and Echo. I can picture a woman petite and fay-like on the outside, but kick ass on the inside. ;)
Yeah, I can picture that. Dalia seems more sunny in appearance, though there was the Black Dahlia... while Echo seems more dark and mysterious in appearance.
ReplyDeleteI've only actually heard of a couple of these. :) I really like Branwen. Beautiful and strong but unique.
ReplyDeleteOh definitely, Savanna, Echo would be darker, mysterious and lonely I would think. :)
ReplyDeleteHey Jolie,
ReplyDeleteYep, I too like Branwen. It is very strong, but it would take a really unique character to pull it off though.
Gee, I may have just issued myself a challenge! ;)
I like Iris. Is that the Rainbow Goddess?
