Verticordia

If you're looking for something truly poetic, this epithet of the Roman goddess of love and desire might be for you. Derived from the Latin vertere and cor, it means "turner or changer of hearts", in reference to her role in love and her ability to turn hearts to (and from) romance and derisre.

Appearing in the name of a famous pre-Raphaelite painting, Verticordia is also the scientific name for a flower, more commonly known as a featherflower. An understandably rare option, it would make an intriguing name for a fictional character in particular, though nicknames Cora, Cordie, Vera, and Vita could ground it for real-life use too.

Pronounced ver-tik-OR-dee-uh.
