we are not now going to have a boy (2 DDs, which is fab), but we were going to call any son Aoghan (ay-gon) - Irish name meaning 'little fire'. You can spell it Aogan too. Loved it, sorry we can't use it

Chiara, it's actually dd's middle name so not sure it counts. I wish I'd had the nerve to use it for her first name.

tigana I had an great-aunt who insisted on calling herself Myfanwy - I think her actual name was Marion. She was a kleptomaniac...

this is fun!
