What else might I like?

Surname starts with W, is 3 syllables and common. Will have two middle names, but I have a long silly name and don't mind inflicting the same on my daughter!

JimmyPage they're all real but older, less commonly used names.

Love so many of these, all ones I've heard before but you forget until someone mentions them.

Aramintia, Cosima and Jemima might be my faves. I love Cosmo for a boy but DPs having none of it.
