Boys would be:

BTW the poster who met a little girl called Beaux- that is both masculine AND plural- so, so wrong!

Funny I saw the title and was going to say Loveday, but see that you had that on your list! Maybe it was the same one?

I know an Azza, have never met another one. Boys names, I know there are famous ones, but I’ve only met one Orlando in real life.

I somehow like the idea of Lanesra 😂But I'd have to be Looprevil if I were to do that...

I've met a Raspberry...she was Canadian, never met another.

I know someone who calls herself Strawberry and says it’s her real name. I have my doubts.

Ursula! That’s another only
and Hermione

Hebe - having now read the thread either we all know the same one or there are a few more of them than you’d think

Pandora
Rufus
Eloise

I'm not sure if Pandora was such a great idea really but I love Rufus and Eloise.
