I met a lovely little boy and his mum in the US, he was about 5 and was called Caspian.

Maybe a Narnia fan?

Lovejoy a lady I used to work with
Jay-sea who would be in his twenties I loved this name
Greysea a little girl at nursery

My grandmother Lucrezia ...like the bourgias and another family name immaculata as in immaculate conception !!!!!!!

JiltedJohnsJulie · 01/02/2013 16:56

Lucrezia is a top name for a DGM and such a nice change from Ethel and Vera Smile

Have thought of a couple more, have met a Loveday and a Grayson, both girls both would now be aged about 10.

I had a Fairy in the first class I taught. She was very sweet and her name really suited her. I also taught a Plum a few years ago. Grew to really like that name but would never actually use it myself! Never met another Fairy or Plum.

Ruby

Grin at fairy. Has she got a sister called Tuppence?

JiltedJohnsJulie · 01/02/2013 17:52

Or even Fanjo?

WinkyTwinglet · 01/02/2013 19:28

Cobina - from another culture, but unique in my experience :)

seeker · 01/02/2013 22:51

fairy, Tuppence and Minnie, the triplets.

A double lesson- don't give your children daft names, and don't make them call their genitals by twee euphemisms.

I once knew a lovely little girl called Truely which I've always liked.

Heard on the radio a woman called Ruler who had a sister with a really normal name!

My nephew Fergus is the only person I know with that name!
