@limbizkit you see Vera, Irene, Marion, Jean, Betty and Rita are actually now incredibly trendy names! There are a few of these at our local nurseries! So dont be betting they are unusual! They've come back in!
Not sure Tracey or Sharon are going to.... but you never know!

These should all be fairly unique in any baby group?

Ribbonsonabox · 15/03/2019 12:20

Psyche is from the story of Cupid and Psyche.... thats where the word 'Psyche' as in 'of the mind/spirit's originates from...
It was top of our list but we didnt dare use it in the end even though we both love it.... we just thought of her being called 'psycho' on the playground... I still think it's a gorgeous name though!

We did go with something a bit out there in the end but not as out there as that one lol

SoftBlocks · 15/03/2019 12:12

I love your list Ribbons There are a few on there I liked but got vetoed for being too out there.

Manon?
