I've always liked Moss, and maybe not as rare but Roman is nice too.

Moss was used as a shortened version of Maurice in Ireland. I'm not sure if it's still used as I've not heard of any baby Maurices lately Smile

I know..I was responding to @mastertomsmum who is getting worked up that pp have pointed out her names weren’t unusual.

Other people being unfriendly. I’m not saying I’m bothered I’m just saying be nice

But literally no one has been mean to you!

Someone said your names weren't that unusual. Perfectly benign comment. You replied with "Is that comment necessary????"
Two of us commented Theo wasn't unusual (it REALLY isn't) and you claim you're being ATTACKED!

Seriously, take a deep breath and let it out slowly ....

Cuthbert was the first tree(baby tree) I grew from an acorn. True fact.

Not heard Cassian before that's going on my list !!!! Love it🙂

It's my 10 month old boys name ☺️ his older brother has a slightly unusual name too. If you like star wars, it's from there!
