Names from whatever you're reading

[SeanChailleach]

You have to name a child from the first five names in whatever publication you last read, book, magazine, newspaper, whatever. What are your options? I have:

Joe
Vladimir
Noah
Elizabeth
Valérie

Martha
Ingrid
Both great names!
Patrick
Jonathan
Peregrine

@BeckySharpish

Bathsheba Gabriel Lyddie Farmer Boldwood Fanny

I love this book

@Xanorra

Dick Madge William Joey Grizel

Given how obsessive the entire Chalet School world is about baby names, and EBD’s liking for fanciful names, I’m always surprised no one ever hints that Grizel is the worst name in the 52 books. And I’m including Eustacia, Cornelia AND whatever Polly Heriot’s real name was — Hildegard Maria Sophonsiba?

My five are Ashby, Artis, Jenks, Rosemary, and Sissix.

@BeckySharpish

Bathsheba Gabriel Lyddie Farmer Boldwood Fanny

Hardy did wonderful names. Like Eldridge Swancourt and Lucetta Templeman. And Swithin St Cleeve.

Elfrida! Not Eldridge!

Djoser
Sarah
Maria
Luke
Jack

Dandy (short for Dandelion)
Alec

Hugh

Enjoyable frothy period crime.

Constance, Clarence, Galahad, Millicent and Gregory.
