Only if:

Her middle name is UglyDuckling

And

Her brother is called Blackbird

@CandyLeBonBon Grin damn I've been outed!

She'll inevitably be clumsy AF.

Alita is pretty, it means small winged one.

I quite like Cygnus (Latin for Swan), that could possibly work for a boy, an Etonian boy. Sort of name Reece-Mogg might use.

Her brother is called Blackbird

Blackbird in French is actually a name - Merle.

I can't imagine manoeuvring life with that name. I narrowly escape being called Paloma (dove/pigeon) I hate the flying rats I'll hate to be named after them.

Or Leda for a classical Greek swan reference.

@BlueJag a dove is different from a pigeon! Symbol of peace & all that 🕊

TatianaBis · 02/07/2021 22:48

Dove & pigeon are the same family Columbidae - Palumbus - hence Paloma

Nice, Swan. Like 'nice one'. It's a 'no' from me.

ilovepixie · 02/07/2021 23:15

I actually quite like it!

CallMeNutribullet · 02/07/2021 23:16

I like giraffe for a boy, but pronounced the French way. Like Sophie la giraffe

Didn't Leda have sex with a swan?

Zeus in disguise carried her away and raped her once out of swan form. I realise it's not a nice story but people use loads of Greek names with horrible back stories (most of them are).
