A colleague called her kid Kt.

@whatthejiggeries probably the same person. Her brother had an unusual name too.

There used to be an Antigone at dd's primary school. Tiggy for short.

Obviously a Country & Western fan.

I met an Antimony once. Goodness only knows how her parents found that one, it means poison. Dreadful name.

I met a Coppelia once.

I went to school with a girl called Na'amah (NAY-a-mah). It's a fairly obscure Biblical name, I always liked it.

Zipporah known as Zip.

Flipflopfoodle · 01/08/2021 17:19

Ooo #KaptainKaveman that's my daughter's name and nickname

KaptainKaveman · 01/08/2021 19:39

I might know you @Flipflopfoodle 😉. Your dd would be about 19 now?

Flipflopfoodle · 02/08/2021 07:46

No! She's not near that age, phew, my MN identity is secure. Obviously Antigone is a normal name but we thought we had made the abbreviation up, so no points for us for originality.

RedToothBrush · 02/08/2021 08:21

Coriander

Elspethelf · 02/08/2021 08:33

Alondra
Bridie
Martha - she was young and totally pulled it off by being very cool
Elowen
Halima
