I have a really edgy, creative friend who is also married to a very quirky artistic guy. Their kids are called Edward (after his grandfather), Laura and Hugo.
I also know another couple - she is a designer, he is a composer - and their dd is called Alice.
All lovely names but quite ordinary.
On the other hand I know people who are not particularly arty but have bent over backwards to find 'creative' or 'different' names for their DC.
I was just wondering if people sometimes try to compensate for something they lack but would like to have when choosing their DCs names??
