Wolfgang but I do know a wolf too.
Paris
Waldon
Sapphire
Emerald
Troy
Leonie

My dd still hasn't been mentioned. Am delighted.

Girls names:
My own name (been mentioned a couple times upthread)
Journey
Princess
Lilac
Andromeda
Dixie

Boys names:
My son's name
Buddy
Blade
Ace
Roderick
Travis
Vinnie

Those last 3 boys names aren't particularly unusual but do seem a little odd on boys under the age of 4

The aunt of Kelton made fun of our choice... George.

We live in an area where most children's names begin with a K though tbf

Njumai - a relative of mine, pr Nyummy.

Fear of God is one of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit so a positive attribute.
DD1 nearly ended up with Pascale as a MN as she was due on Easter Sunday.
I know lots of Leonies -- popular name in Ireland in the 60s.
Plus a lot of Parises and Londons, both boys and girls.
Also Bredas, Caoimhes and Pascals -- popular in Ireland

Dd had twins in her class called St Alina and Olympiada.

I've never met any other people with the same names as any of my Dds but a friend if my dad emailed to ask me if I'd mind if they named their dd with the same name as one of them. So now there's two of them around

My friend works in the special care baby unit in a hospital in New Zealand and had a new mum there that wanted to call her daughter Clamydia.

LindaMcCartneySausage · 21/02/2014 21:06

Javre - with an accent on the e (can't find it on the keyboard). Pronounced Shav-Ray, as if with a French accent. I think it's made up. I was at school with her.

Lyric - a boy at DS1's nursery (assumed it would be a girl when I saw the name on a peg)

Million - bloke in my local phone shop. He's really Gangsta bling, so assume it's not short for Maximilian.

U-Shaun - a lawyer I met
