Isn't Anadine a painkiller?

Haha, Antonia/fedup, my name only appears on these threads as 'awful' and 'tacky'! Regards to Angelique - you're both blessed with lovely names :)

I am on this list, rather proud to be thought exotic!! I recently met a Spanish colleague, and she told me "Your name is soooo Spanish!" I had thought it was Italian....but am sadly not that exotic myself, being boringly English. however, I think it suits me....Antonia.

I share an office with an Angelique....how exotic is that! Grin

I love annaliese, nn Anna or annalie, sadly DH didn't.

Annoushka is great too.
Araminta, not very exotic though.

Addie was my grandma's nn. Only select people were given permission to use it. She could be formidable if someone addressed her informally that she was not intimate friends with.

:o @ sitting on your Aris

Alayjoosa

DD1 came up with this for our DD3 but I didn't have the "guts" to use it.

What do you reckon? Might you be tempted for your DD3?

I love that it's so elegant and yet so strong :o
