Che. I didn’t have the heart to tell her that Che Guevera was called Ernesto and that Che means laddie.

I think someone has missed a trick by not calling their twins Fanta and Santa !
In the teal world I know twins called Ben and Sven !

Ooh and I went to school with two girls called Tarzana and Valhalla (everybody called them Tazzy and Hally). Their mum was a pop star of the time though. Grin

Orastelle sounds like an oral contraceptive
Carmella reminds me of candida thrush treatment
My OH is Mark and I met a newborn Mark once and it did seem strange on a newborn, but I've never understood the name, at least Marcus sounds a bit more meaty
Goldie? Drummond? Cloyde?????
Makes my eldest's name sound relatively normal. And she's only ever met one other person with her name and there's only one famous actress with her name.
