Just came across this blog and the names are amazing!! Especially like Anselo, Starlina, Greenleaf, Marbeleni, Northalion.

Also like the Victorian gothic names - Arphaxad, Clarimond, Vesperina.

Any stand out for you?

It's weird as I always thought Mycroft was a made up name. Sherlock too. But the pre-raphealites were a bit before Sherlock Holmes?

Clarimond is lovely!

I love Clarimond.

Ha, no, not Mycroft! I don’t think it’s quite as niche as that, but maybe I am deluded- we certainly weren’t going for Victorian Gothic Grin

I LOVE Greenleaf. A lot of them seem to have a kind of Tolkien/Gaiman otherwordly kind of vibe.

Wow, this is so interesting!

Greenleaf is lovely. I quite like Fennix for a boy, too.

Perhaps not Fluenzi or Wacka, though.

Is it Mycroft, Sum? :)

Froniga is nice but pronounciation might be problematic!!

My son’s name is on the ‘Victorian Gothic’ list Grin

Anselo is nice, I like that.

Not sure Bobum would pass the MN High Court Judge test! Grin Fluenzi and Froniga might work for twins?

Ooh, long lost rarities. Kind of wish I could rename my children now!
