Actually, now I've seen it in print I don't like it that much anymore.

pixi2 · 13/01/2013 07:17

I forgot Venetia. I think it's lovely.

barbiecollector · 13/01/2013 07:04

I think Camilla and Valentina are both beautiful names.

I know someone named Anuschka and think it's so pretty and unusual.

Delphine is lovely, never thought of it before.

I love long flowing names. DH not so much :(

williaminajetfighter · 13/01/2013 01:55

Also love Celeste. Just sounds great.

williaminajetfighter · 13/01/2013 01:54

I met a girl when I was about 16 - her name was Medea. Never forgot that. Pronounced Meh-day-ah. Lovely from Greek mythology.

Also quite fancy the name Graine these days.

FelicityWasSanta · 13/01/2013 00:53

My rl name has been mentioned here lots!

Wetthemogwai · 13/01/2013 00:41

I have an Orla Raine which I love but after reading this I have to admit that I LOVE Nova, I've never heard it before but it's stunning

I also love ophelia, ariettie and thea :)

Anastasia
Anna
Helen
Thea
Althea
Esme
Verity
Annie

All lovely imo. DD is one of the above names. My name is also mentioned by someone else. I am very surprised as it is very much out of favour these days but I like it.

Blottedcopybook · 13/01/2013 00:23

I'm very pleased to see one of my kids' names mentioned more than once Grin

For me there's a world of a difference between what I think is the most beautiful name ever, and what I'd actually name a child. I very much like Valentina and Ariadne but living in deepest darkest Glasgow, there's not a chance they'd sound as beautiful as I'd intended!

ScrambledSmegs · 13/01/2013 00:16

Actually, I think Rhiannon is beautiful. Mainly because of Fleetwood Mac Grin

Mollyminder · 12/01/2013 23:55

Please just aoid the very overdone -ie,-y or -i endings for names. Soooo bored of them.!!!

Kithulu · 12/01/2013 23:17

Not Ophelia, my ex would always make the joke that he wanted to call his daughter Ophelia middle name Tits.

I love Nuala

Lucia
