Love Lorelei and Wolf

CurrySpice · 09/05/2012 21:35

I love Lorelei

PercyFilth · 09/05/2012 21:33

Prunella is rather nice, it means 'little plum' and prunelle is the French word for sloe.

I know placenames are seen as a bit chavvy, but have always thought Andorra would be a nice name.

Aurelia Aurora Amalia

dip into some Evelyn Waugh novels (or even biogs) for those now-unusual english names

I like Greek and Roman girls names - Antigone, Athene, Flavia, Cornelia, Tacita - but not so keen on boys names of the same era...can't imagine a boy being called Claudius, Achilles or Julius...Hector is good, I suppose.
