Hi all, just found out today that im expecting a girl! Before i got pregnant me and my partner said if we had a girl, then she would be called Devon. I ve only ever known one person called it before. I love unusual names, gives them some individuality, instead of having a popular name that several children have in their class at school. Devon's middle name will be Elizabeth (my mothers middle name). However when i ve mentioned the name Devon to afew people, not many are keen on it. Makes me wonder whether to think of something else? The phrase "your calling her what?" has been said afew times!

I've taught two. One girl and one boy (one lived in Devon...). Golden rule - don't tell real life people your ideas for names!

It's a boys name isn't it? If I saw it written down I would immediately assume it was a boy.
