Myrtle

The name Myrtle is apparently returning. Yes, it’s a strange name that peaked in the 1880s, but this historical favorite deserves a chance in the future. Myrtle, named after the Greek word’myrtos,’ was also a popular ghost in the Harry Potter books. This means that Harry Potter lovers who are becoming parents may choose this name. And what is the meaning of the word? Well, it refers to the tree or victory. In any case, it’s unquestionably a unique name, appropriate for a unique lady, and anything goes in these crazy days of the twenty-first century. Even Myrtle.

Winifred

Winifred has established herself as the hip older sister in the family. This name derives from the Welsh term for “blessed peace.” Winifred represents a quirky attitude and was also the name of the beloved character Winifred Foster in “Tuck Everlasting.” And is there a better nickname than Winnie? We believe this would also work as a girl’s name. Winifred Cullis is the most well-known and was the first woman to hold a professorial chair at a medical school; Winifred Bonfils was a notable writer; and Winifred C. Stanley was a major figure in American legal history.
