Tia is a very common name around here, I know at least three, they are all 12.

I once met a little Connemara at a baby group.

Apparently Courtney and Jade are on the way out. Couldn't move for high school age Courtneys about 15 years ago. I used to think it was my generation 's homage to grunge, but I think someone had a baby called Courtney on Eastenders.

I knew an Uldreen and a Benitta. Never met anyone else with these names.

I used to work with a Fallon, love it!
I wonder whether her parents were Dynasty fans!

Sequoia. Names after After the National park. Had never heard of it before, but absolutely love it!
I know one of those! Wonder if it's the same one....

@BreatheAndFocus Hephzibah and Linnet were both on the longlist for DD, as were Loveday, Clodagh and several other names which have been mentioned on here. I think I read too many books with interestingly-named characters.

BunnyRuddington · 22/07/2021 22:34

BunnyRuddington would Magenta be about 28 now - dad was a printer?

No, it must be another one. Can't be too many around though surely? Smile

My dd is Rosina named after my Grandma (it was her middle name). Not many with her name and everyone comments on how pretty it is.

LactoseTheIntolerant · 22/07/2021 22:37

I was at school with an Alethea, Pia and Portia I don't think I've come accross any since.

BunnyRuddington - There were 3 girls called Strawberry is 2012 too.

Now that's one name I've never met anyone with!

Just caught up with the thread a bit and have spotted DD's name. We have met one other and someone with a different spelling but that's it so far.

KingdomScrolls · 22/07/2021 22:39

Genitalia I had a summer job where we used to personalise things for people, the woman checked three times and then phoned to double check the spelling as it was a friend's daughter.

CityDweller · 22/07/2021 22:40

I once met a baby girl called Five. No idea what the story was there!

I also know an (adult) Adeline, which I think is a nice, unusual name.

KingdomScrolls · 22/07/2021 22:41

I also went to school with a girl called Velvyn
