Love Quintus and Wolfe

BobbiFleckman · 09/05/2012 21:17

what about Fenella without the R? FRenella makes me think of frenulum which isn't a great mental connection

I knew a v posh lady called adelaide who was v quirky and I always had the name in mind if ds had been a girl

Edgar is my middle name and I would love it as a christian name

CupOfBrownJoy · 09/05/2012 21:26

I know a Tangier?

PercyFilth · 09/05/2012 21:33

Prunella is rather nice, it means 'little plum' and prunelle is the French word for sloe.

I know placenames are seen as a bit chavvy, but have always thought Andorra would be a nice name.

CurrySpice · 09/05/2012 21:35

I love Lorelei
