me and DH watched Enola Holmes recently with his nieces and would love the same name for DD. We do thinks it's a little different though! Any thoughts??

Hopefully there won't be a rash of baby Enolas because everyone they tell will look horrified and uncomfortable and the parents will see the error of their ways

Enola Gay was the first thing that came to my mind and i’m 34. Not an obscure song by any stretch.

Terrible I know but if the debate here has widened onto justifying or not the A-bomb raids and casualty figures are being quoted I take it we're aware that well prior to the Hiroshima bombing the Americans were levelling the major Japanese cities, systematically, one by one, in an attempt to make the Japanese surrender and to prevent a ground campaign on the Home Islands.

It's generally recognised the most lethal air raid in history wasn't Hiroshima or Nagasaki, it was the one on Tokyo on 9th-10th March 1945..

I like the sound of the word but wouldn't call my child something that spelled alone backwards, sounds kind of sad

Ebola. Just don't.

What's the obsession with the word Alone being spelled backwards fhs? Hmm

I was wondering this too. I would never even think of what a name was spelled backwards.

As it happens my girls names are both palindromes so that's a win win for us Grin

@Theradioison and @ Kitkatsrophe

I watched this film just before this thread

But why does it matter if people are alone? If it spelt lonely I'd understand but what's wrong with alone? I just don't get it

It just makes me think of Ebola.

And Granola Grin
