Odd names I like

Dunno why I am thinking of these today, but there you go.

Just after I had my daughter my son dreamt up the name Vickery. I wish he had thought of it before we named her, I really liked it.

Mallory - never read the towers books, but I do think this is a really nice girl's name.

My brother was at Uni with a man called Tudor. I think it is Welsh, may be spelled Tudur, rather than the English kings way.

There you have them, my odd - but cool - names of the day.

I looked after a Mallory, but they were a he, not a she.

Vickery??

I like twists on names

Emmy instead of Emma
Cole instead of Colin

AnnOnimous · 13/01/2011 20:59

I am not brave enough to do quirky names, but I do love them.

I would also have loved Robin for a boy.

I know a Tudor and he is Welsh.

I like odd names. Love Onni (boy) but couldn't get it past DH.

Vickery is a bit weird tbh! rweminds me of Phil Vickery.
and it's a bit like Vicky, but wrong

Tudor is a fab name though.

Flojo1979 · 14/01/2011 09:43

thatnot my monkey Noooooo!
Lupe? As in loopy loop
Jape? Jape the ape

At least cross these off!!!

Hedwig3 · 14/01/2011 12:44

Vickery sounds very masculine to me -

Phil Vickery the chef
&
Phil Vickery the rugby player

EdnaTheInebriateWoman · 14/01/2011 12:48

Lettice for a girl....

Nightstar · 14/01/2011 12:59

Yes. I'm very fond of Tudor, it's on my list actually. But i am half welsh. I also love Morgan for a girl, again its the welsh roots i think.

Mallory is nice. Vickery? Nooooo!

Flojo1979 · 14/01/2011 17:30

Lettice? whats the middle name gonna be iceberg?

Flojo1979 · 14/01/2011 17:31

teafuelledradical · 14/01/2011 17:33

I like Anastasia for a girl.

Also Rudolf for a boy (with an f).

Flojo1979 · 14/01/2011 21:52

But Rudolf?? Noooooo!

pippylongstockings · 14/01/2011 21:57

Percy as a girls name is my favorite - however we had 2 DS so never to be used. Feel free tho anyone........... Grin

battherat · 14/01/2011 22:02

Lupe- Lupus- Wolf- quite nice but a bit gladiators.

My cousin's little boy is Ignatius. Iggy for short. It's a lovely name.

I love Robin for boy.

A family name on my mum's side is Penrose for a boy. I don't like it enough to use it but if I did, I would.
