❤️ Eirlys (Ire-liss), my Welsh step dad used to call me this. It’s not my name, but sounds a bit like it.

Chablis.....when younger I was a fan of Duran Duran. One of them called their cat Chablis & I thought 'ooh I like that' I'm gonna call my girl that if ever I have a daughter.
Never realised it was French so pronounced it as written.
Can you imagine if I'd gone ahead and done it? Her nickname would no doubt be ChabbyGrin

Though if it wasn't too late for me I'd quite like Ribena for a baby girl Grin
I knew a Rubina in primary school. We called her Ribena 😂

Apple, Brooklyn, Cruz. Only if you were a thick as mince attention seeking knob though.

I know a Candida...

CaraMocha · 11/02/2022 08:40

I know both a Cinammon and a Brie.

Cinammon in particular worked very well with her surname, and it sounded nice and was distinctive. She became a musician and she's still the only one with that name I've ever heard. So I still really like it as it's not too weird, sounds nice, and is unusual.

Halcyon (except someone has actually used that, it and its connected legend are pretty wonderful)

The girls in The Queen's Nose by Dick King Smith are Melody and Harmony which is very pretty.

Toshiba!

Remember Educating Yorkshire? I actually did think briefly that there was a girl called Toshiba on it but she was sitting next to something like a projector with the word TOSHIBA across it, the names of some of the children they were talking to did sometimes appear on the screen so just for that brief moment I really did think wtf!
