If you're Australian and in your 30s...

[kinkytoes]

What are yours and your contemporaries' names please? Would love to hear the popular and also rarer names. When I travelled there I met so many people around my age who I thought had different and interesting names (even though they may not seem it to you!) I need inspiration and I think you may be able to help me!

One of the names I recall is Jaimyn, which I just suggested on a different thread and it reminded me of the lovely names I came across.

TIA.

Wonderful stuff! Like I said you may not think these are out of the ordinary but I've been watching this board for a while and never seen many of these mentioned. It's really refreshing. I'm keen to choose a more unusual name for my ds
