Came across this queen's name in a book of mediaeval history and thought I'd toss it out there.

Ewww. No I don't like that

UserThenLotsOfNumbers · 13/06/2017 13:22

Nope, sorry.

user1480459555 · 13/06/2017 13:26

Awful name

WhippetyStourie · 13/06/2017 13:27

I know an Odelinda. It's a bit of a mouthful tbh and Theodelinda is even worse.

Berengaria is my favourite (wife of Richard I)
Closely followed by Adeliza (Henry I)

Please don't!

The worst I've ever heard of on here I'm afraid!

AdaColeman · 13/06/2017 13:46

Sounds like an obscure surgical instrument.

I've always loved Berengaria though!

ErrolTheDragon · 13/06/2017 13:50

It sounds like a minaturized surveying instrument to me.Grin

Not sure I'd inflict it on any chid of mine though I once knew a Theodora and it was always abbreviated to Theo which I thought was quite nice

PutThatPomBearBack · 13/06/2017 13:56

No no no.

I would rather name my child after a fruit or a direction on a compass.

grufallosfriend · 13/06/2017 14:07

No, but I love Theodora!

WhatThePuck · 13/06/2017 14:11

Not unless we're still in the medieval times Grin

Decaffstilltastesweird · 13/06/2017 16:01

Not nice imo. Looks like a strange hybrid of Theodora and Belinda to me.
