I am lying laughing reading this thinking of how when I was pregnant I’d have been like ‘Box…oooh.’ Goes really well with my surname as well.

Next male cat I get is going to be a little furry Box.

Hermia with an M is a real name. Bit wanky, but real.

We’ve barely scratched the surface if we are including drug names!

Keppra
Doxy
Cipro
Frusey
Taz
Malarone
Clex
Sinemet
Rivaroxaban
Lokelma
Alendronate

I actually know a Serendipity, and it suits her!

Errand for a boy - has a scandi vibe

Some of these could be (and are) used for pets, though (eg Sage, Thyme) for rabbits. Maybe not the medical ones.

Serendipity went in the opposite direction - it comes from Serendip, the name of an Indian prince.

Yes Dippy! With the priest for a brother!

I've met a human Sage (one of the adults on a PGL trip)

Sertraline
Where have you been
Did you meet the Queen
Sertraline?

(sung in my head every night I take the tablet)

(See also margarine above)

It was honest to god on my shortlist. I'm still not sure if I'm happy or sad it was vetoed😂

Dropsy
Scrofula
Tena
Lenor

Lenor feels a bit old-lady-ish. As if she'd be the third in a trio of sisters called Doris and Enid.

Tena, pronounced same as Tina?

Like ten-a (Tena lady incontinence pants)

I love Tosh for a boy

More medical ones: Malaria (girl), Heparin (unisex), Lyssa (girl) (from lyssavirus - the rabies virus IIRC), Insomnia (girl), Patella (girl), Hallux (boy), Clavicle (unisex).

Clarinet would be a good unisex one. Oboe too.

Continence would make a lovely virtue-style name.

Tena's a surname (like Natalia Tena) but I agree it makes a cute first name.

Mini
Maxi
Cortina
Stag

Cars fromThe past

I know a toddler called Stone.

Boys - Median, Arbuthnot, September, FiloGirls - Flute, Pinto, Rada, Celexa

Tampax is quite a manly-sounding name.

I used to work with a Tequila

Labia
Vagina

I agree lol
