Rory, Reuben, Rowen - I can't say my 'r's and I love loads of 'r'names!

DramaInPyjamas · 25/09/2016 22:25

Hansel or Gretel.. even better if it was twins and use both names at the same time!

Damaris

I really love Demelza! Grin not sure why, it's nothing like other names that I like! I wouldn't be brave enough to use it as a first name, I'd consider it as a middle name though.

holzyb20 · 28/09/2016 17:27

Penelope & daiciana

cupofrooibos · 28/09/2016 19:45

Montgomery

kristine007 · 28/09/2016 21:54

Montgomery (Monty),
Kalypso (Greek Goddess, also name of Jacques Cousteau boat, also a Greek girl that I used to work with)
Benedict
Billy Jean

And Danger as a middle name :)

Aurora

MissisBee · 28/09/2016 22:26

Aurora and Merlin. Definitely can't use Aurora as it's the name of the local leisure centre. People might think I'd done a Beckham Grin

Re the Grace Gr... name - my maiden name begins Gr. Before I was born my parents alternately called me Gregory and Grace

Peanutbutterpussycat · 30/09/2016 21:25

Romy :)

NauseousKitty · 30/09/2016 22:06

I love Fen as a nickname, but don't think my Yorkshire roots would let me be flouncy enough to use it. Can I be cheeky and ask if anyone can think of a less frilly alternative full name for Fen?

FairyDogMother11 · 01/10/2016 12:24

Nauseous Stephanie/Stefanie maybe?

Nataleejah · 01/10/2016 15:49

Eythor or Eitaro (waaaay too foreign)

Nataleejah · 01/10/2016 15:49

Also Reidar

lizzieoak · 01/10/2016 16:55

Bartholomew
Rupert (can't quite picture eitjer where I live)

Coco (too fluffy?)
Winter (love this name but not sure if it's too odd)

Sloe · 02/10/2016 00:05

Fenton as a full name for Fen. Always liked that name.

zwellers · 02/10/2016 17:23

Alice (who the f**k is ruined that), jezebel, zillah, nefertiti .

Mordecai, talen, ezekial, erazmus, agravaine and lestrade.

Oh and can anyone explain the balonz thing was that a real name?

lizzieoak · 02/10/2016 18:01

Mordechai I'd totally use. Agravaine sounds like a headache pill, though I'm guessing it's Arthurian?

zwellers · 02/10/2016 20:56

Lizzieoak agravaine is indeed Arthurian. I think it's a lovely name and could argue it's legendary!.

BastardBernie · 02/10/2016 20:58

Rapunzel
Hermione
Judas

BastardBernie · 02/10/2016 20:58

Oh and Gabriel

AbernathysFringe · 04/10/2016 00:04

I may have made this up, but I love it for both boy and girl and can't use it because I already have a C named girl and a C surname so too twee all round.

Carou. Or Carew.

Makes me think carousel, colonial India, mystery,
