Wilsden for a boy

and

Dollis-Hill for a girl (Londoner)

You?

There is a place called Earl Shilton. It sounds quite posh for a name, but sadly the place isn't.

I seem to remember there is a village called Piddle.

Yes Sydney for a girl. There were several locally born in 2000. I wonder if 2012 will inspire lots to call their DC London....Let's hope not!

That makes me think - I know of a Prince, and a King. Why not Earl?

Hav just thought of another great Essex one - Theydon Bois (pronounced Feydon Boys in Essex)

Yes, Neaden and Willesden would be great names for twins.

And of course, Perivale could have the nn Perry
