This reminds me of Shirley Valentine when she says that Clitoris sounds like a name.. ''oh hiya ClitORis how are you?'' Grin

Haven't RTFT, but I can't be the first to quote the great Terry Pratchett on this one...

“There'd be a Chlamydia Weaver toddling around today if her mother hadn't suddenly decided Sally was easier to spell.” (Carpe Jugulum)

@BlackSatinBand

This thread reminds me of Ramona and her doll called Chevrolet Grin.
My sister had a friend called Chevrolet. Everyone called her Chevy. Neither were impressed when dad and I would sing American pie 😂

Someone mentioned Cinnamon. My friend had two girls named Cinnamon in her year 7 class 😂

At this rate I expect to meet a Courgette soon.

@Andacherryonthetop

There’s a few names on here if people I actually know- Lilia, pebble and Candida 😂

I always wondered if Elsia was a name?!

I knew a Candida. Unbelievable choice of name. The nn Candy is not an improvement either.

There's actually a Saint Candida - has a church dedicated to her in Dorset and everything. It's just one of the words in Latin for 'white'.

It's a bit unfortunate that the word was used to name a genus of fungi, including one many of us are all too familiar with.

Etagere
Chiffon
Soffit - though someone's suggested that on the boys' names thread.
