Euphemia (Effie). I love that name, and would probably have used it if we'd had a girl.

Loveday is beautiful.

For what? It weird as a forename for a human.

Girls/women: Strawberry and Orange (sisters), Twinkle (I struggled to keep a straight face when I found out her surname was Shah), Persephone, Rosie-Anna, Ginnifer.

Boys/men: Bingo, Walker, Bong. I heard of a new baby called Kenny-Eric the other day.

Eleri is common in Wales, and Lloyd isn't unusual. Both are common as middle names.
