Is unusual but still recognizable as a name?

Sylvie - all my other favourites are very popular (top 20) but I think this is beautiful.

bananaramma · 29/09/2014 15:28

Agree that Sylvie or Sylvia is beautiful. Also like Francesca and Antonia for girls.

For boys, I really like Raphael, Quentin and Darius.

Berengaria and Aethelstan Grin

Thank you bananas. (Both of you :o)

I love Sylvia but don't want an S or M names as those are my other DCs initials. Should have put that in the OP!

I know I'll probably.end up calling this one something classic and a bit dull like William but I feel like there's something out there I haven't considered.

I absolutely love the name Angus but I'm guessing it would be difficult, if not impossible to pull off in the mid west Grin
