Gilda?
I’ve only ever heard of one and that was a friend of my mums. It’s not a particularly pretty name but I quite like it.

Valentina is very common in Brazil to the point that some people joke about it... and Enzo for boys

No! She's not near that age, phew, my MN identity is secure. Obviously Antigone is a normal name but we thought we had made the abbreviation up, so no points for us for originality.
Obv Antigone is a normal name?! Where do you live? 🤣 love Tiggy for short!
