Thoughts?go..

Love it always loved 😆

Poldark 😂

Very pretty!

This is the first name that i have ever seen suggested on MN, which i like.

Isolda is a good one too (i dont think that is how you spell it)

I know one.

The name is mysterious and beautiful.

It’s pretty but people will assume you named your child after the character in Poldark.

I adore it. One of the many DH vetoed. No taste some people!

Love it

It's the name of a well known children's hospice in my area

I think it was actually invented as a name by the writer of the Poldark books, so in the 1950s. Previously I think it might have been a place name, somewhere very tiny in Cornwall, if I remember right.

I think there's one in Harry Potter too. It does sound quite magical, which may or may not be what you are going for (I quite like it!).

Looks beautiful.

Never heard of poldark and doubt many kids will

Has the BBC TV show passed you by then? There will probably be another series later in the year.

I went to school with one. As soon as she was old enough she changed it by deed poll to Jane!

I like it!

Gorgeous!

It's nice but if your child ever wants to live down South, as a PP said it's a very well known children's hospice/charity.

"It’s pretty but people will assume you named your child after the character in Poldark."

It wasn't a name until Winston Graham put it in the first Poldark book. It's also a hamlet in Cornwall (which is where WG got the name from)

Its quite nice but I don't think I'd like to be called it so wouldn't use it for a child

She could be Demi for short

Before I saw the area you'd posted in, I assumed it was a thread about the children's hospice. It's very well known in and around London.

Fabulous name, I know a little Dezi.

Love it!

I think it's quite ugly sounding. Sorry!

I think it's quite ugly sounding. Sorry!

Glad it’s not just me. I don’t find it appealing at all.

Neither was wendy till Peter pan was writtenlol
