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

What are yours?

Quite a few Cornish names on this thread!

I wanted Dorothy, Tallulah or Margaret! (I now have a cat named Maggie).

Anastasia BUT it would have to be pronounced in the Greek way: An-a-sta-sia and everyone would hate me for correcting them - because I would too--

Ah. Does anyone else wishes they were more brave when they gave their child a top 20 name? 🙋🏼‍♀️husband adores our sons (popular) name though so I'd prob still give in 😆

@eleanorsmellstrop I LOVE Martha, Winifred and Ursula. In fact I might just use the latter in the future...

Mine is my DD's name, Enid. I'm not sure it counts when you've just gone ahead and used it anyway!

Persephone

I told DH if we ever have an accidental third and it’s a girl she will have the nickname ‘Percy’

MrsMitford3 · 23/09/2022 20:13

And delighted to report DD's name only on this thread once...so far

it always appears on the "I'd name DD this if I dared" sort of list...

That's what I was coming on to say.

I'm not even Welsh but I just love it

Both Cecily and Cicely

Leveret for a girl.

No-one likes it.

I named both Dcs after family members DH was very close to. Sometimes a bit sad I never got a proper vote on a name!

jjeoreo · 23/09/2022 20:06

I love a lot of these names! I know an Ivar, he's adorable.

And I LOVE Bianca too.
