Berengaria. I have always loved that name.

Elektra

Hepzibah
Bathsheba
Calpurnia (I love the euphony of the name, not the meaning)

Inigo (actually, if I have a boy I will call him that, surname is Jones so will be marvellous

I used to have a flatmate called Rahul who was universally known as Ra, which I loved. I think I liked that it wasn't actually his official name though. Find it SLIGHTLY weird as a 'proper' name, although I like it.

Ha! Perhaps we are not ludicrous then, but just have good taste.

I have told DP about Inigo. He likes it actually. Mind you his absolute favourite boy name is Ra. Egyptian god of sun, apparently.

We are evidently loons well suited

I'd LOVE to call a boy Lsyander. Or Leander actually.

The thing is, I think I probably would actually dare do it

I think all your suggestions for a girl are beautiful and I would absolutely use them (esp Bathsheba). Inigo is gorgeous too for a boy.

There you go. I obviously have ludicrous taste too.
