Oh dear no not with your surname! sorry

Jumente · 02/07/2009 12:31

Rosa would go well I think.

The emoticons and line breaks don't show up on the 'threads I'm on' view, so it looked like you said

"Panda Naomi is nice"

I'm all for unusual names, but that was a step too far even for me!

My sister is called Alisa.... My Mother thought she had made it up 37 years ago.

scattykatty · 02/07/2009 09:51

I like Alisa, there is a tennis player called Alisa Kelybanova who's going to make it big Alyssa means a lifetime of spelling her name out whereas Alisa is phonetic.

Anouk

boodleboot · 02/07/2009 09:12

i've got it.... INGRID which infact is MUCH nicer than Astrid anyway.

MrsHappy · 02/07/2009 07:44

Well I have tried all of the other names I can come up with, Seren!

And I think it is kind of sweet...

nooka · 02/07/2009 01:40

I think that Alta is too similar to both Anna and Myla. I think two syllables are find, just not two "a" endings. What about -

Helen
Honor
Xanthe
Iris
Robin
Lucille
Gwen

thell · 02/07/2009 01:18

Cleo is much less than Clio I think

I like Nell

I like Hera too (Here-a, as opposed to the American p. of Hair-a)

Freya lovely too, but much less unusual now than Myla.

How are you faring, Christiana? Any developments?

lowrib · 02/07/2009 00:54

I like Elodie

serin · 02/07/2009 00:25

Mrs Happy

Sigi? really?

thatsnotmymonster · 01/07/2009 20:56

My sis has a friend called Taryn, I think it's lovely.

My dd's are Chloe and Robyn.

I also like

Hero
Georgia
Lola
Marin
Skye
Alanna
Tori

boodleboot · 01/07/2009 20:43

how about Sibi?

MrsHappy · 01/07/2009 20:37

My Alida is pronounced Aa-lee-da, so no scope for cruel jokes there.

Anyway you can always send her to a single-sex school!

Or Alida. (long first 'a')

Right, that's every name I know now on this thread...

MrsHappy · 01/07/2009 19:23

Or Nell.

Dunno where that just came from.
