In 2014 I featured a series of blog posts introducing you to 2,014 names. For the most part they were names that were brand new to me as well. Some names may be more familiar but I found the meaning or origin or some other aspect of the name made it worthy of inclusion here. You may love some of the names, you may hate some, but hopefully you enjoy learning about all of them.

Names a poet must have dreamt up

The names were used on real people sure enough, but don't they have the feel of some 19th century poem?


GIRLS

Evarene - a middle name, but interesting and I wanted to include it

Leopoldine - this was a woman's middle name, but it struck me and I wanted to include it here. The name is a feminine form of Leopold, a German name meaning "bold as a lion". 


BOYS

Woodrop - possibly a version of the name Woodruff.
