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

how comes boys names are easier to choose yet for a girl i'm stuck i like fibee, aubreen & Marc (yes i know its a boys name but i think it will be a middle name) any thought?

Niamh............pronounced Ny-amm

Bear

Tiger

Autumn

September

Thwaites

Joed ...............rhymes with Toad

carlean they aren't what I'd choose! but then you probably wouldn't like the names I chose for my DC. One thing you might want to consider is that if your DC have an unusual spelling, like fibee instead of phoebe they will spend the rest of their lives correcting people.

Just thought of another two. Cecilly. Lovely old lady who used to live opposite and Venice (lady) my DMs cousin.

i get what you mean i spend my life spelling both my first and last name venice sounds old and stylish, i see someone put indigo on here i was on a camping trip and a family in another field was continously screaming INDIGO at the top of her voice now that name just sends shivers down my spine. Cecilly food for thought. thank you

Half of DS's class tbh, but the class is very multi-cultural. I was quite relieved when the nativity play 'programme' had everyone's names on it to help with spelling come party invitation time. DS's name is pretty unusual - maybe around 50 babies a year get called it.

I knew an Alia - think it's a lovely name.
