I am expecting a DC2 in September. Not sure of the sex yet, but the fact is I only really like one girl name (there are a handful I QUITE like) and then a smattering of boy names which I think are ok...but the point is, I have pored over the names books and nothing really grabs me. My DD is called Octavia. Any thoughts for names of both sexes which might be a pleasant surprise to me? I would consider anything but I like more unusual flower names, names with a classical dimension, names popular in Edwardian and Victorian times...
