The Beauty of Names

Darcey Bussell                                     Fitzwilliam Darcy ( P & P 2005) I'm back with a name game. It was really interesting seeing the results of my two "This or That's", so I figured I would continue on and come up with another. In this one, for each name listed you will add what gender you prefer it on or see it as. Let me know yours and I'll list mine.

"Brünnhilde" by Arthur Rackham I have so many guilty pleasure names, and they are some of my favorite to talk about. These are the names I absolutely love but (probably) wouldn't use in real life. This post will probably be really long, so I apologize in advance. Please post some of your guilty pleasures in the comments!
