Actually I know a couple of others but they’d be rather outing as they’re unique to those people.

@ButteryNuts , which country are you in? I can’t imagine how anyone could go through life in the UK without meeting multiple Hannah’s and Lilys. The other names, fair enough.

Am I the only one who was double checking no o d had put their one of children’s names 😂😱I’m not putting them on here. They are normal ish but very very old traditional name eg great great grandfather but the only one I have ever come across. When people hear they they recognise the name but don’t know another one - it appears I have no mumsnetter friends - phew!

I am in Cornwall!
The question was ..only 'met' one of...
I've heard of it of course, like almost every name mentioned here, but I'd only met one..
I was writing it with my little Grandson Jago in my arms...

Show quote history

It's popular in my village, but it is a lovely name.

Ocean - for a boy. Quite liked it.
Watched a film last night, female character was Alithea. Never heard of that, pretty.
