Some great trivia here! I was very curious about Adelaide, in particular. And, of course, Lucius and Lilian. But then there is Cesare, Raphael, Helena, Thorvald, Raleigh, Estella, Apollo, Ronan....So many truly memorable names!
Cesare & Raphael because I wanted to keep the Latin theme. Cesare Borgia has always fascinated me. Raphael because - art. Helena is a version of my given name -- I couldn't resist. Thorvald because I was watching something about Vikings. Raliegh because I wanted a swashbuckler -- who better? Estella -- another one that come to me full blown. Apollo because I needed a Greek to balance out all those Romans. Ronan was a Behind the Names suggestion -- means 'little seal' from an Irish Legend about shape changers. When I checked it out Wikipedia, it cited that 12 saints had the name. That sealed it.
You can't tell, but I am literally clapping my hands right now. Thanks for the background!
