mehitabel
hepzibah
gladys

i love them and if dh had not been around would have been sorely tempted to use inflict them on dd

I love Jezebel, Lolita, Snowdrop, Zed. DH loves Spike. I did consider it!

Halcyon, Calypso, Persephone.

Adore all three but would hate it if in 80 years people were looking at my elderly offspring and thinking man, your parents were wankers.

My mum was very nearly Eurydice (we are not Greek) and was always very very glad her parents chickened out at the last moment, which informed my decision not to use any of the more out there Classical names.

Gloria. I loved it but it sounds really strange with DDs surname.

Ophelia
Juliet
Desdemona

There's something about doomed Shakespearean heroines.

I love Valentina for a girl. Strong yet feminine name.

Lucky DC2 was a boy though!

I love Ford. Wanted to use it for ds1 but dp wouldn't hear of it.

Gladys, Ethel, Estelle, Arsinoe, Verenike for a girl

Gladstone, Nestor, Hector for a boy

Doris.

agree that Doris is secretly wonderful!

I really like Agatha.
Also Delia, but any child would be the butt of my father's jokes (he fancies Delia Smith, unaccountably).
