Asking for a friend. Unfortunately it isn't for me.

She likes unusual names and Crew and Cruise are on the list but any other suggestions would be appreciated. TIA

@Notellinganyone , what makes you think I'm joking? Wink
I think they should have gone for Cromarty and FitzRoy.
Or maybe Rattray Head and Gibraltar Point.

@KirstenBlest - you joke but I met two boys called Malin and Fisher today. Parents are big fans of shipping forecast.

Thanks all. I really appreciate the (serious) replies and links.

My friend's other two boys both have unusual names so she's looking for something different again.
