Heard today:-

Spring-rose

At the doctors the other day was deliah-rose. Thought it was a misspell for Delilah but then maybe it's Delia?

And the when I worked in a nursery there was a little boy called deneil. Not too bad you say, till you knew his older brother was called Neil Hmm

I've mentioned this before, but years ago I met a pair of little boys, twins, called Kidderminster and Ulysses

I've come across someone (Lois) who pronounced it Loyce. Zaire (Zye-eer-ah) is the former name of the Republic of Congo?

Cornelius

Expat Grin
If only I'd had the guts to ask! The same thought crossed my mind too and found myself grinning to myself!

Loula

L-oi-s is the welsh variant.

Still unusual. I met a baby one once.

Artorius. I love a strong name like that, wish I had the balls!
I wanted to call DS Cassius but DH vetoed Envy

'Legion'

For real? What are the siblings' names - Wendigo and Succubus?

Have also come accross a Lois which rather than being pronounced Low-iss, was more like Loi-s as in 'Oi you!'. That may be a variant but I'd never heard it before.

Loula117 · 06/11/2015 13:53

There was a small boy at nursery called Ronaldinho.

Have also met an Ambolynn at a playgroup. Oh and a Chien-Angel

Briella. Sounds like the third ugly sister in Cinderella.
