we have a longish surname so 1 or 2 syllables sounds best. Suggestions could be pretty 'way out' or maybe classic but under-used. Coco is on my list and love blythe and posey but for various reason can't have these last two. Help me add to my list please!

Sorey Gruff, missed your Una

RubyFakeNails · 28/06/2012 07:48

He wouldn't even consider Dave? Leave the Bastard!

Annis is too much like Anus. Don't use that

I vote from your list Polly, Rose or Ivy. I like Vida but am so used to hearing among my spanish friends I think without the accent it doesn't sound as good.
