Owl Cleo was also on dd1's list. Dd1 has an unusual name so we can't find things in shops either. Try not on the high street.

I had a friend with this name at school - nicknamed Shez, which is a bit less fancy!

Not going to say it as it's on our list and everyone will of course adore it and it will be the next Isabella Grin

But I also love Aisling but I'm not Irish, Alberta but I'm not brave enough, and Tamar but I knew a boy called Tamar growing up and can't shake the connection.
