Was just on the bus and noticed a road called Phoebeth Road. I thought, 'Wow, it's like Phoebe and Elizabeth in one!" (easily amused). Then the next road was Francemary.... and as the bus went on there were more and more name combos with every road!! I was transfixed!

I remember:
Amyruth
Huxbear (made me think of those modern classics, Huxley and Bear)
Francemary
Elsiemaud
My favourite being Phoebeth!

I thought, how nice and different. I bet there's a family with a Phoebe and an Elizabeth living on Phoebeth Road. I would love that!

It reminds me of that celeb that has just called their baby Elizabelle, can't remember who that was.

Anyway! Just thought I'd share with my fellow name fans.

Ha Ha, I moved to a new area and discovered I'd called my children after Roundabouts :(

There's a street in Morden called Gavina Close. I wouldn't recommend that.

Nor would I recommend naming a child after the ancient byway in Oxford; Gropecunt Lane

How about Pant-Y-Felin Road - twould probably be unique.

It was Alyssa Milano!

I actually like Elizabelle.

I think the name of this sort in the Percy Jackson books is a good one, that would work in RL: Annabeth.

There was that model on antm who was called Melissa rose but called herself Melrose- love it.

Down my way we have a Gibcracks Lane, Tinkers Hole, Cock Clarks and Fingringhoe ( my favourite). DS's middle name is from his place of birth (Edmund).

I moved round the corner from a shop that is my two dd's names mashed together (dds= Holly and Anna, Local shop= Hollianna)
