Re: Whimsical Names

For a girl,

Gossamer -- one of the most whimsical names ever!
Winsome -- another one

I'll see if I can think of some more. I agree with you about Fleur, too.

How about Gossamer Fleur for the name of a fairy princess?

Coco - I'm not sure why, but it sounds very whimsical to me.
Daisy - ditto
Daphne - sounds daffy!
Eloise - I think of the children's book.
Elspeth - sounds whimsical.
Esme - ditto
Gigi - ditto
Gwendolyn - The Importance of Being Earnest, the rest of the names on the list either sound whimsical or remind me of something whimsical.
