Total Chaos - does Cariad mean 'darling' in Welsh? My late FIL used to always call me Cariad. He was from Abertillery. Watch this I bet it means - annoying daughter in law!

I like Martha. There is a little girl in my DD's kindergarten called Martha, but it is very unusual here. Her sister is called Freda and her brother Anton. I love the names, they are unusual but not freaky.

3andnomore has good taste I have a Catriona. Seems to be quite unusual in UK too. She is Catriona Francesca.

thefunkypea · 22/01/2008 22:08
