He will be nicknamed Endy (or everyone will think he said Ian); she will be nicknamed Ellie. Full name won't be used by anyone except you after the age of 12.

Sorry OP, it's a no from me.

Isn't this the place name used by the Camerons for their youngest?

Oh sorry, should have said that it's a girls name.
Derived from an obscure Cornish Saint, the Goddaughter of King Arthur no less. It means fire soul.

I don't think the Cameron's have a child named Endellion?

Its one of the MNS of Dave and Sam Cams baby, Well she's not a baby now, is she. She must be about 6.
I'm not too keen. TBH. Very harsh

I like it. It sounds old, like arthur and the round table kind of old. At least it's different.

Youngest Cameron has Endellion as a middle name, iirc she arrived unexpectedly early on a family holiday to Cornwall.

WHY I have remembered that I couldn't tell you

Flora Rose Endellion now I've googled.

I like it. She will prob be nicknamed Endi or Delli but those are both sweet.

It's unusual but actually pretty easy to see how you pronounce it when you see it so I don't think it would cause many issues

I thought her first name was Florence

I don't think dandelions are a bad association; I'm slightly put off that the. Amerindians have made use of it already though.

I'm not keen on it. I think it's quite harsh sounding and Endi and Delli are both terrible nicknames. It just seems a bit 'try hard'.

MissElizaBennettsBaubles · 01/10/2016 13:11

I think it's a lovely name

But then Delli is one of my nicknames as my little bro couldn't pronounce my name when he was small

My name isn't Endellion btw...

I like it ,but it does make me think of the Cameron's daughter, although they will hopefully have fallen into obscurity in a few years.

How is it pronounced? I'm thinking End-ELL-ee-on but happy to be corrected!

I quite like it really but my first thought was dandelion too.
That's a weed that supposedly makes you wet the bed isn't it?! Sorry Grin
Honestly, I like it

My first thought was the Camerons.

Endellion. ENDELLION. I quite like the sound.

Endellion.
