A baby name website has just suggested the name Bombalurina to me, based on my other choices which I didn't think were particularly strange.

A quick google tells me this was the name of one of the cats in CATS.

Is this a usable name?? I guess it could be shortened to Lurina, which is quite nice. When I first saw it I was a bit boggled but it's starting to sound more pleasant.

If your writing a sequel to The Wombles it could be a new character.
