Novello

[BeigeBuffet]

It's a distant family name. I love it for a girl. Dh isn't so keen. All opinions welcome.

Love it

As in vino novello?

It's a no from me.

It's not gramatically feminine - you'd need Novella for a girl. Which is fine if you have a literary bent.

as in Ivor?
agree with gramatically masculine and bloody awful

Yup- Ivor Novello, or short novel (novella).

As in Ivor?

It's not the prettiest of names.

Oh no! I loved it because its a strong name and the Novello in my family was a strong and feisty woman.

No. It is not nice.

No,too contrived

Absolutely dreadful. You could use it as a second or third name if you want to honour your relative, but it would be an unforgiveable first name.

Ok point taken. It's suitably off the list. Thanks for your honesty, back to square 1.

I quite like it... but for a boy, not a girl.

Err take the vello off and your left with my answer!

Nice for a boy
