A teacher friend of mine once taught twins, Ribena and Delrosa (a brand of rose-hip syrup)

Aldo is a common boy’s name in Italy. And Echo was the name of a nymph in Greek myth, from which the phenomenon gets its name. Seven is Posh Spice’s daughter’s middle name. And Fennel, Borage and Dandelion are ace names for guinea pigs and rabbits.

I remember reading about a baby in France called Anomalie.

Case and Shed make cool, snappy boys' names.

The actress Lolly Adefope has made me think Lolly really works as a name... (Lolly isn't her given name).

This thread reminds me of Shirley Valentine. 😄

• [Shirley is having a girls' night out with her friends in the pub]
• Shirley Valentine : D'you know. When I was a girl, we'd never even heard of the clitoris. When I first read about it, I thought it was pronounced "clit-OR-is".
• Sally : It sounds nicer that way.
• Shirley Valentine : It sounds as if it could be a name. "Oh, hiya ClitORis. How are you?"
• Sally : That makes it sound a bit crude, somehow.
• Shirley Valentine : Shut up! Why not? Plenty of men walking round called Dick.
• [they all laugh]
• Shirley Valentine : Well, that's the way I thought it was pronounced when I mentioned it to Joe, sitting there in the front room one night. I said "Joe, have you ever heard of the clitORis?". He didn't even look up from his paper. "Yeah, but it doesn't go as well as the Ford Escort."
