Was my lovely mum's name and would love to use it but wonder if it is too marmite a name? Any thoughts?

I love it!!! It will be unusual and cool and ahead of the trend. I also have an unfashionable name up my sleeve for any further DD and have decided I don't care what people think, I'm going to use it! Life's too short not to.

It was going out of fashion already by the 50s when I was saddled with it. I'd say 'no'.

My mam is a Sheila. I've recently started work with a lot of Irish people and was surprised to meet a few younger ones.
