Diarrhea 🤣 I heard someone say that once. If you completely divorce the meaning of the word from the word, it IS pretty sounding!

Paprika

Serendipity

My dad had an old aunt called Serendipity 🥰 She had three sisters...Charity, Violet and Precious! I imagine they would be around 130 now, so these names were probably quite 'usual' at the time 🤷‍♀️

As a teen, I decided that Antimony and Bismuth would make good names for the female and male protagonists in a fairytale. The faithful elderly maid of Princess Antimony was called Rust.

Cassette is actually really pretty! Florette is as well, I'm beginning to think any word that ends in ette is a nice name!
