Girl's name inspired by Glastonbury festival

I know the MN consensus on silly names, just humour me I'm looking for a pretty word that could possibly be a girl's name (rather than a girl's name connected with the festival iyswim). Best I can do so far are Pear (as in cider) or Rain. Anyone more inspired than me?

I found out I was pg with DS just a couple of days before G2008 and my bump took on the codename Avalon Worthy amongst my Glasto going friends.. Would have loved to have used Worthy as a middle name but dh not keen..
How about looking at a detailed map of the site and using a field name? Maybe not Big Lickle mind..
Wish I was going this year but I have an 8 day old...

^I've just realised that tooGrin

Considering how old this thread is, I hope the baby has been named by now.

Arimathea is rather lovely! ...as is Avalon!

Perry - as in pear cider

avsbavs · 14/05/2011 14:15

everyone always asks for the origin so it wont be that obscure

avsbavs · 14/05/2011 14:14

Avalon :D
Avie or avs for short

JBS75 · 27/08/2009 16:32

How about Vale or Circle?

Or Leyline (you could turn this into Layla for a proper name).

The nouns I think of when I think of Glastonbury are:

Field
Campfire
Sunrise
Cauldron
Cider (I love your Pear suggestion )
Thali
Ecstasy
Ferris wheel
Bubble

Some great suggestions! I'm looking for a random noun rather than a real name (had considered Emily though, or Arabella ).

lowrib DH (who is musical, I am not!) is very taken with Decibella

AD We came across a sweet boy called Somerset the year before last at the festival - no idea if he was a local or if it was a festival think though.

Eve (short for Eavis)? Emily, after Emily Eavis? I'm trying to remember what all the camping fields are called but I can only remember Oxlyers and Pennards, which aren't really very girly...
I wanted to name DS something Glastonbury related (he was concieved there ) but DH wouldn't agree to it.

sausagerolemodel · 26/08/2009 17:11

Sienna - (because its the colour of mud)

bellissima · 26/08/2009 16:47

(GooseyLoosey) - Ines Wittering? - Cary Sidi (Barani)?

cyteen · 26/08/2009 16:18

Caer Sidi...Cassidy?

GooseyLoosey · 26/08/2009 16:12

Why not "Glastonbury"? Or the name Glastonbury is though to be derived from the old name for the place which was "Glass mountain" This would have been Ynys Witrin (old english for glass mountain) or Caer Sidi in celti myth. Don't know if there are any possibilities there.
