Lumiere for a boy and Romantica for a girl

I really like this name for a boy. I like unusual names. It's the name of the candle in Beauty & the Beast and I think it sounds so lovely.

Romantica is such a, well, romantic girls name I think. I wonder if it is a real girls name in Italy or somewhere?

Actually, I used to work with a woman who's son is called Maison. She just thought it was an "interesting" variation on "Mason", and confessed she and her DH hadn't realised that it meant something in French.

She is a bit thick.

I think they are lovely names, just not on planet earth.

I prefer Le-Croozay.

Daye-Zhee is inspired!

I quite like Slit for a boy and Serrated for a girl

ha ha!!! when I was pregnant I like Milano for a boy and Alpine for a girl.

Hormones. I think I 'saw' a little fishing boat with 'Alpine' written on it and I felt that it was meant to be. My x did not agree. He liked much more classic, conventional names.

Romantica sounds like a cornetto, and Lumiere sounds like a moisturiser.

Have you been sniffing glue? That is the only logical explanation.

Have you considered "Hygiene" or perhaps "Hygenia" if one is having a female child?

BalloonSlayer · 30/05/2011 14:51

Very nice.

Round here, children called either of those would find the first two words they learned to read at school were "armitage" and "shanks." Which aren't bad names either.

TheFlyingOnion · 30/05/2011 14:50

or Livin'-Doll? It's more Cliff.
