My dd is Aphra after Aphra Behn...

Haven't met many others, but it is a 'proper' name iykwim (there are 16 members on the facebook group!). My ds-to-be is to be called Skyler (which is also a girls name - Skylar).

My little princess is called Saffron, i hav'nt come across any other Saffrons (yet),
My other little girl has a common name but she loves it when she finds someone with the same name as her.

bamboostalks · 27/06/2008 10:26

Leonie is a lovely name, not too common and quite easy too iykwim.

jellybeans · 27/06/2008 10:26

There are loads of Rhianns near me, and Rhiannas. What about Lucia or Iona?

LuLuBai · 27/06/2008 10:24

Thalia is beautiful. Find a way to convince your DH if you really like it.

LuLuBai · 27/06/2008 10:23

Although I have to say I cannot think of a single Vanessa under the age of about 30

LuLuBai · 27/06/2008 10:22

Yeah - sorry was just trying to think of names which work in French and maybe I need another cup of coffee to get my brain working.
