Antimony.

Must be pushing forty years ago.

The mother obviously didn't realise antimony is a poison.

If I had a girl, she would have been called Avery. Means ruler of the elves.

@StiggyZardust

My DS went to primary school with a girl called Ladybird.
President Johnson's (LBJ) wife was called Ladybird.

I know a little girl called Persephone

I would always consider how easy a name is to shout when you need them not to run into the road or to stop doing something dangerous.
Aurora looks lovely written down but I really struggle with it in this context

I taught a girl called Panacea many years ago.
