Somerset is a favourite name for a girl that I keep trying to talk myself out of then find myself going back to. It is based, in part, on the fact that my mother is English, I teach literature, and Somerset Maugham (male) is a favorite author. And also, because it is a place name, a pretty word, and different but not made up sounding (my last name is a one syllable top ten name, not Jones but close.) I would like your honest thoughts. She could always be Somer during the years she wants avoid standing out. Any thoughts on middle names?
Any other suggestions on Anglo names that are pretty, perhaps have a literary connection, and are unusual but not too unusual. I especially like three or more syllable names with such a short last name. I saw a posting mentioning that Saskia was getting very popular in the UK. Does anyone know the meaning or origin or pronunciation?
Any comments on the following (I know they are all different and not all British, but I'd like your initial impression when you hear the name_:
Bronte
Emeline
Everly
Waverly
Jessamine or Jessamy
Catalin
Adelaide
Millicent
Flannery
Calliope
Cosima
Veronica

From your list - I like: Emeline, Jessamy, Adelaide & Veronica
Everly,Waverly, Flannery & Catalin are nms for a girl. Bronte - I might use for a boy's name.
I also like for you: Rossalyn, Laramie, Geradine & Isabel
Possible combos:
Emeline Laramie
Emeline Caroline
Emeline Bronte
Emeline Rosali
Veronica Isabel
Veronica Somerset
Veronica Lauren
Veronica Gwendolyn
Somerset Leigh
Somerset Elisabeth
Somerset Violet
