OK so what do you think of...deep breath...

[feralgirl]

For a boy: Isaac Heath (Heath is a family name, not after Ledger).

For a girl: Sterren Rose. Sterren (meaning star) is Cornish - as are we and as is our crazy surname - and Rose is also a family name.

DS likes Lola ; my mother likes Isolda (also Cornish-ish). DS, named Freddie, would have been called Polly had he been a girl but I think that Polly and Freddie sounds much too cutesy-wutesy.

Sterren or Isolda wouldn't be too weird here in a county full of Perans, Treeves, Morwennas and Demelzas but might she hate me when she goes away to university in a city full of people with 'normal' names?!

I'm Cornish too. Love your girls name. I have a friend called Isolde who is 26 and no-one ever says anything negative.

I is a Keith?

Sterren ROCKS. I love it.

Not a fan of Isaac, but Heath is nice. I know a Heath and he is lovely.

I like Isaac and love Isolde. Don't like Sterren.

Love both Sterren and Isaac :)

Sterren and Isolde gorgeous gorgeous names.

Nobody will blink am sure.

what about Stellan for a boy?

OOH I love Sterren. Might nick that one for DC2. My OH likes Isolde (anything historical or mythological). I am not so sure.

My DC1 is Isaac (means he who laughs - thought would be a good start). There are quite a few Isaacs at our toddler groups, so more popular than I thought.

I like the boys name, and I love the girls. Sterren is beautiful!

Sterren it is then! A boy's name is harder; I'm a teacher and all the boy's names I like remind me of students I would rather forget!

lovely

I have a three-week old Isaac so obviously love it (and agree with previous poster about its meaning 'laughter')

Love Isaac and I love sterrren , even though I haven't heard of it "up here".

It has a beautiful meaning and has got good history behind it Cornish for a cornish family)

She will be asked how to spell it, but ther are lots of names like that so don't let thaat put you off. I am sure your dd would love to know that she is a star.

When you say it out loud - it sounded to me like 'I is a Keith', too.

Parents of a friend of mine had an Isaac Hunt at their school. You have to be careful with Isaac.

I like Heath.

Sterren would perhaps take time to grow on me - I certainly don't hate it, though.

Like Isolde.

Ooh never heard of Sterren but it's lovely - goes well with rose too.
Love Isaac, it was my boys name for dd3.

I also like Iseult (was at school with one years ago) but never completely sure how to pronounce it (I know how she pronounced it - but she got lots of variations which made me think it wasn't so straightforward).

sterren is v pretty

Sterren is certainly unique and is nice if it's Cornish and you are too so has some cultural meaning.

The only thing I'd say about it is that it sounds a bit harsh for a girl and could also sound a bit like the name of a denture or oven cleaner. The other Cornish girl's names end in "a" so sound somewhat softer.

Just my thoughts...

Have enjoyed being a morwenna both in and out of Cornwall! People comment yes, but only nicely. You get remembered more. Downside is always having to spell it and correct pronunciation but that is true of any name that is unusual. Lots of lovely Cornish names to choose from!

I like it. Prefer Isolda though, but just personal opinion.

I live in N Wales and have a friend called Morwenna (we all call her Wen), and her name has never been a problem.

Sterren is lovely.

Really like Isaac Heath. Nice ring to it.

Not madly keen on Sterren. I love Cornish names, but think there are nicer ones out there. It's so harsh on the ear.

Isolde is gorgeous.
