Cream cheese.

Sexnotgender · 22/03/2021 13:24

Lol, no.

Seafog · 22/03/2021 13:21

I watched Road to Avonlea for years, it will always be a place name to me

CaptainMyCaptain · 22/03/2021 13:21

No. It's a house name.

HeadlessGummyBears · 22/03/2021 13:18

How about Delphine or Anne?

Stichintime · 22/03/2021 13:17

Avonlaydee?

Orchidflower1 · 22/03/2021 13:16

No sorry.

Mysterian · 22/03/2021 13:16

Hand cream made from cheese.

Vomadetroit · 22/03/2021 13:14

It’s lovely but not sure about using it for a child

emmathedilemma · 22/03/2021 13:07

cheap seaside B&B, dairy product, , nursing home, house name, yes
child, no

Chilldonaldchill · 22/03/2021 12:58

Cordelia or Hester are great AoGG names that aren't overly popular. Avonlea doesn't work as a name.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 22/03/2021 12:56

No, sorry. Place name or dairy product.

PolarnOPirate · 22/03/2021 12:38

I like Anne of Green Gables and it looks like a lovely place but no.

Avalon? Not for me but I know of a couple.

Brownteddybear · 22/03/2021 12:25

Wtf? Confused

EmpressWitchDoesntBurn · 22/03/2021 12:22

I get the reference but no. Cordelia?

4Mongrels · 22/03/2021 12:20

Sounds like a type of milk. No!

FelicityPike · 22/03/2021 12:20

Totally love it!!
However....it’s not a name for a baby.

partyatthepalace · 22/03/2021 12:19

God no - sounds like a yogurt or a local authority care home.

sleepyhead · 22/03/2021 12:16

No.

Presumable after Anne of. There are loads of names in those books, but Avonlea just sounds like what it is, which is the name of a place.

Normandy144 · 22/03/2021 12:16

As in Anne of Avonlea? Nice sentiment but I think it is too house/place name to really work, but if it has meaning to you then it could work as a middle name?

PintPot · 22/03/2021 12:16

Butter, or something that looks like cream but isn't.

LouiseTrees · 22/03/2021 12:15

@UCOinaUCG

It sounds like a care home or the name of a local authority!
Is genuinely the name of a care home near my mums house, several houses so the past posters are bang on
funnyoldonion · 22/03/2021 12:15

Double nah

Echobelly · 22/03/2021 12:15

Sounds like a dairy product, I'm afraid

BumBurnerBum · 22/03/2021 12:14

Brand of milk or yogurt?
