@Mesosleepy does Xochia have polish roots? We have friends who named their DD Zosia (pronounces Zo-sha) because that was the husbands grandmothers name (who was Polish). 😊

@Beeziekn33ze Cheyenne isn't unusal, is it? I've known a few.

@Slothcuddles... Tunnel is a name?! Note there are a few abbreviations instead of actual words.. this must be the fashion now! (Sounding ancient as I write this!)

@prembaby2.. I like Sula. The only one I know is from Bing.

Mesosleepy · 30/01/2019 10:13

@ihavealwaysknown no Polish roots that I am aware of!
I work with a lady called Clever. I quite like it!

Just met girl twins lst week called Massie (pron mazzy) and Anrie (I wondered if it was Henri but couldn’t be bothered asking). First was family surname and second was named after someone they knew in foreign climes.
