Heard today:-

Spring-rose

At the doctors the other day was deliah-rose. Thought it was a misspell for Delilah but then maybe it's Delia?

And the when I worked in a nursery there was a little boy called deneil. Not too bad you say, till you knew his older brother was called Neil Hmm

There was a small boy at nursery called Ronaldinho.

Have also met an Ambolynn at a playgroup. Oh and a Chien-Angel

Have also come accross a Lois which rather than being pronounced Low-iss, was more like Loi-s as in 'Oi you!'. That may be a variant but I'd never heard it before.

Loula

L-oi-s is the welsh variant.

Still unusual. I met a baby one once.

If only I'd had the guts to ask! The same thought crossed my mind too and found myself grinning to myself!

I've come across someone (Lois) who pronounced it Loyce. Zaire (Zye-eer-ah) is the former name of the Republic of Congo?

I know a loola but she spells it Lula. It doesn't seem particularly weird to me (no more than Lila).
