I like Rosemary Cory a lot. I love boys' names being used as girls names. Cory reminds me of a girl I knew with the middle name Cody.
I also like June, Eudora, Elvyn, Augustus, Woodruff, Bradford Benjamin, Alice, and Ellen.
Really dislike George Washington, but I think it's acceptable since it was a great-great grandparent.

I love old people names. It's also really interesting how so many didn't have middle names. I wonder what the history of using middle names is.
