Actually, I think Rhiannon is beautiful. Mainly because of Fleetwood Mac Grin

I'm very pleased to see one of my kids' names mentioned more than once Grin

For me there's a world of a difference between what I think is the most beautiful name ever, and what I'd actually name a child. I very much like Valentina and Ariadne but living in deepest darkest Glasgow, there's not a chance they'd sound as beautiful as I'd intended!

All lovely imo. DD is one of the above names. My name is also mentioned by someone else. I am very surprised as it is very much out of favour these days but I like it.

I met a girl when I was about 16 - her name was Medea. Never forgot that. Pronounced Meh-day-ah. Lovely from Greek mythology.

Also quite fancy the name Graine these days.

I know someone named Anuschka and think it's so pretty and unusual.
