Found this name in a Victorian novel and think it's really pretty.

I don't have a baby to name.

What do others think of it?

Just interested.

I think it's really pretty. You should definitely use it.

It’s a shopping street in Exeter. And not a nice one either...

No.
Sounds like it should be a place...like Chigwell

Urgh no

Not a great name imo especially not for a girl x

Talith · 03/10/2018 18:02

Doesn't have gravitas and sounds ugly. Nope.

It sounds like it should be a suburb of London, the sort that some talk about with horror and others think is a hipster haven.

Mookie81 · 03/10/2018 18:00

Ridiculous.

MrsSchadenfreude · 03/10/2018 18:00

Horrible.
