Some lovely suggestions and some ones too.

I love Berry, Clover, Skye, Meadow, Leaf (as a mn) summer, Amber (like the sound of Ember but an ember is dying, so that meaning is bad for me0)

Melody sounds like a stuck up cow but it's a lovely name. The one I knew thought the queen was rough round the edges, but Melody is still a lovely sound with a good meaning.

Clio is a Goddess not a car, as I'm sure Lollipop Mum knows!

I love Clio! Gorgeous.

Treacletart - the Angela Carter heroine was called Fevvers, in Nights at the Circus. And very brilliant she was too...

MrsBadger · 18/05/2008 11:21

Glory?

CantSleepWontSleep · 18/05/2008 10:31

Damson is too much like jam, rather than too much like Tamsin.

Do you not like anything that has been suggested?

treacletart · 18/05/2008 09:38

Feather is nice - think I remember an Angela Carter heroine being called Feather

"Ever" is nice, but might make people think your name is really "Heather" and you're just common.
