Shakespearean Names (for girls!)

Hey! I decided why not have two posts dedicated around the same name theme? Why not Shakespeare? Having just finished Romeo and Juliet, I thought this would be a perfect time!


Juliet- This is such a classic and seemingly timeless name. It can be spelled the simple 'Juliet' or the much more trendier version of 'Juliette'. Not surprisingly, it's an English name and has the interesting meaning of Youthful and Downy. From Romeo and Juliet.


Portia- Although you may not think of this as a Shakespeare name, Portia was character in The Merchant of Venice. Portia is a Latin name and instead of a meaning, it's actually a Roman Clan Name. From the Merchant of Venice.


Regan- I talked about the name 'Reagan' in this post, but I haven't focused on it's other spelling, Regan. Regan is a Celtic or Gaelic name meaning Royal or Regal. This spelling isn't very popular, although I think it's kind of cool! From King Lear.


Isabella- This is a name we've all heard! It was the #1 in 2009 and still is on top on the popularity chart. Isabella, or more commonly shortened to 'Bella', rose in popularity after Twilight. It's is an Italian name and means God Is My Oath. From Measure for Measure.


So, what's your favorite Shakespeare name? I like Audrey from As You Like It and Helena from many of Shakespeare's works. You can find plenty of Shakespeare names here. 


Boy's Shakespeare names will be up tomorrow!

E

Hey! Wow, I haven't done any of these letters in a while, but I feel that I should because I found some very cool, 'springy' names that start with E!

Easter- Although you may not think about it, Easter is actually a used name! I am not personally found of it because it's a holiday- but it's very unique! Anyways, Easter is a girl's name and is from an English origin. Oh and guess what the meaning is? Easter.

Eolande- This is a very unique name that I picked for today's post because of it's meaning- flower. It's a creative American name that's a form of Yolanda.

Elijah- Although this name may not remind you of Spring, but Elijah has a very spiritual meaning- perfect for Easter time. It means The Lord is My God. It's a Hebrew name and great for families who like biblical names.

Elodie- If like the name 'Melody', then Elodie should be right up your alley! Elodie is a girl's name meaning marsh flower, and from a Greek and French origin. Although Melody is currently rising in popularity, Elodie has never been on the top 1000 list, so it would be a nice alternative.

What are some of your favorite 'E' name? Mine are Everett, Emma, Evan, and Elizabeth!

W

Hey! I am super excited because this week's letter is 'W'! Yay! A challenging letter. but oh so much fun! 
To start of this post I planned to show you all the W names in the top 100, but there was only one 'W' name- William- at #24. Well, that proves that 'W' is a hard letter! However, I managed to find some good names!


William, this is a very classic and sweet name. It's a very simple and classic English name. I really like it and it's growing in popularity! I think this is a great name choice! It's means Strong-willed Warrior.


Willa, I love this name! It's a such a cute little girl's name! I think this is so cute a great name on it's own. This reminds me of the main character in The Wedding Planner's Daughter series (great read!). It was a very good book, which made me like the name a lot! It's an American (this is a first!!) name and means A Feminine Form of Will.


Whitney, this is a such a cool name! I love the sound of it! It was most popular in the 80s and has a cool retro feel to it. It's a unisex name, an English name, and means From the White Island.


So, what are some of your favorite W names?
