What names do you like after a text or poem? :)

[MitzyLeFrouf]

Cassandra Mortmain.

[MagentaVitus]

DH is really keen on Bleaney. I told him to put down the Whitsun Weddings sharpish!

[Allthatnonsense]

Just love Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes.

Was always disappointed by how plain "Cathy" is for such a character in Wuthering Heights.

[Marcipex]

Polly Flint

[funnyossity]

Beowulf.

[Hobbes8]

Atticus. I wanted to call my second born this but didn't like any possible shortenings. Also, she's a she.

[SanityClause]

Bathsheba Everdene

[SanityClause]

Oh, and Gabriel Oak for a boy.

I wanted Jackson Brodie if I'd had a boy.

My OH suggested Lupin for our boy from Diary of a Nobody. He'd better be joking!

Alizarin Belvedon

(Magenta, the last time I taught Larkin, the entire seminar looked suicidal after 'Mr Bleaney'. Though having a name that's a homonym for a type of pancake might make people salivate about sour cream all the time, anyway...)

[GreatAuntDinah]

I reeeeaaaalllly wanted Yorick. Sanity prevailed but I still think it has legs as a potential middle name.

[Lucy61]

Baboo Nob Kissin- from Sea of Poppies

[itsnothingoriginal]

My DS is Laurie - named after both Laurie Lee and my childhood crush Laurie from Little Women!
