I have several but Tycho and Ivar/Ivor are two of mine.

What are yours?

Elliott... For a girl! It has the Ellie potential and possibly Lottie. Two of my favourite nicknames. But I'll probably go for Eleanor instead.

Enid!

Ursula
Annette
Trevor.
Douglas (DD would have been this. The looks we got when mentioning this...)

barneymcgroo · 27/09/2022 12:35

Mungo. Ursula.

Alexa. So much hate around it due to Amazon HmmConfused. Dd is Alexa-Annette shortened to Lexie-Ann and I couldn’t love her name more

Merrow · 25/09/2022 22:05

Zelda. I still think it is a really cool name but we have a boy and another on the way!

I'm still holding out a sliver of hope that DS2 is born looking so unmistakeably like a Magnus that DP has to give in...

Also Blossom and Petal

Amber

I know an Amber and really like the name but your username is crazy because I know it’s a rather obscure band from the 1970s and I used to live on the same road as someone who was in the band. 😊

pinok · 25/09/2022 21:41

Crystal
Jade
Meadow
Ocean
Jayden

A580Hojas · 25/09/2022 21:35

What a coincidence! I came on to say Daphne, and look at the poster immediately before me.

Also - Barbara, Dorothy

Boys - Kai, Stanley, Lucien

Icecreamandapplepie · 25/09/2022 21:25

Cairn?! As in tomb?!

Walter

Guiltyfeminist91 · 25/09/2022 17:50

Trevor. My 11month old has the name and it very much suits him. I still love it.

DameHelena · 25/09/2022 17:27

MatterOfThyme · 25/09/2022 08:06

She was a famous gypsy prostitute. I love the name too.

Do you mean Esmeralda? I think the 'associations' referred to relate to Kaiden, no?

Lyric, Juniper, Cedar, Aspen.

😍

Wednesday
Aslan
Hilary for a boy
Esteban
Sharon
Zerelda
Geoffrey
Sirius
Martin

ShirleyJackson · 25/09/2022 10:15

I like Sunday for a girl, too. I think Nicole Kidman’s daughter, Sunday Rose, has a beautiful name.

AdoraLovesCake · 25/09/2022 09:03

Elouisa spelt like that. I made a post and everyone - not one liked it - hated Elouisa but its still ging to be my baby's middle name.

Hephzibah

findthewayhome · 25/09/2022 08:50

Winter for a boy or girl.

I’ve can’t find the associations you’re referring to, just the usual name meaning. Can you share?

Rocco. Love it but don't have an ounce of Italian in us.
I'm partial to "knight" names;
Percival
Galahad
Gawain
Lancelot
Aramis
D'Artagnan
Athos.

For girls;
Alita/Aleda
Storm
Tabitha
