What do you think of Endellion?

[Thewonderyears]

looking for something unusual and elegant for DD3

No Cornish heritage here, but I love the look and sound of Endellion.

What says the Mumsnet jury? (ps obv I know, but don't care about, about the Cameron usage...)

Not so keen, personally. Makes me think of cheese

I like it.

No.

Way too fancy

Doesn't sound in the slightest bit elegant to me. Sorry.

I like it, but can't imagine a child with the name as it seems too clunky.

Dandelion?

Another one who thought 'dandelion' or 'medallion'

Sounds like some form of homeopathic remedy.

Sounds like a herb which grows in the hedgerow that wankers people like Hugh FW get excited about.

Not keen.

For a boy or girl?

What is it?

What is the Cameron usage?

As a name I dislike it, sorry.

Not keen, sorry. What would they be called for short? Endy? Lion?

Sounds like a village in a fantasy novel rather than a person. Like 'The hobbits passed through Rivendell, Rohan and Endellion in their quest for the Ring'.

I thought 'dandelion'. I wouldn't call it elegant especially as it is bound to be shortened. Delli?

I wasn't sure if it was a boy or girls name.
It would be a bit too strange and unusual for my taste - not sure how you say it either.

Does it work with your other DC's names? It's one of those names that if I saw it on a register I'd get stressed about how to pronounce it and then privately think "poor kid"

It really does sound like an obscure wild herb to me I'm afraid OP

I prefer Endymion, if that's the sort of thing you like.

It sounds like a disease!
I've always liked Clowance personally.

Or Loveday.

It's a village in Cornwall, with a St in front of it. From wiki stuff it seems to mean fiery soul, but I don't know whether that's Cornish or something else.

Afaik, you would pronounce it en-DEL-ee-on

It's beyond dire. One of the worst I've heard on here. Sorry.

shocking!

Yes another dandelion thought here.

Your poor child would be forever explaining it to people, both spelling and pronunciation. I wouldn't do it to the poor thing.

I thought you must be a Cameron admirer.

I'm really sory at first my sleepy dyslexic brain read that as Dandelion.

Now if it's Cornish villages your after Praze-An-Beeble is a good name.
