Do enough people know Little Women to associate Marmion for a boy with a character in that book?!

I do like Walter Scott, well spotted!

Dymoke would be pronounced like Die-moke and I can't really see a boy being called Di/Dy

Not sure I'm over keen but they were the surnames of the King's Champions years and years ago!

I thought Dymoke was a surname? But then people do use surnames as first names. You'd get called Dy/Di. Not seeing it as a first name

Marmion like Marmy/Marmee which is the mother in Little Women (I think) which they might get problems with. Again a surname and a poem by Scott, which is always good :)

Marmion is slightly better than Dymoke (which I keep reading as Dynamo)

Would you pronounce Dymoke as "Dimmock" ?

Do you like Walter Scott?

Odd in a bad way They sound a bit made up but hey, start a trend.

No particular significance just thought they were unusual, so I thought I'd get opinions.

Odd in a good or a bad way scurryfunge?

Odd. Very odd.

Have heard of Jamoke not Dymoke or Marmion. Sounds a little odd unless they have particular significance for you.
