Where I live there is a girl called Mayley, (Pronounced like Hayley but with an M) which I had never heard before but I have fallen in love with. What unusual names do you love?

Easter

It is on my family tree from the 16th century.

I would have chosen it as a middle name for one of my DDs if I’d have heard it before they were born!

My children all have very traditional, English names. They are beautiful and solid but damn sometimes I wish I had been bolder!

Eartha unfortunately just reminds me of the Cockney rhyming slang...

Lorcan is a pretty bog standard boy's name in Ireland. Not a bit fancy or unusual.
There was a famous 12 th century Archbishop of Dublin called Lorcan o' Toole.

lampan and therein lies the reason I could never use it. I think it's really nice though objectively.
