My other children all have names that have a foreign sound to them.. e.g Arabella, Matthias, Luca,

Please suggest as many as you can think of .. boys and girls.

As in the bear.

So like “Teddy”, only a million times cooler.

Blodwen is welsh. Welsh isn't 'foreign'

Arabella Isn't foreign

It was used in the Stuart Royal family in the 16th century and became quite popular in England in the Restoration.

Happy to suggest foreign names but could you narrow it down a bit. Even to continents.
