That’s a pity for you. Hopefully you’re luckier in other aspects of your life.

Yes (with 2 n’s) but also in its own right.

I’m very glad I’m not!

Some of these are awful. Attracta, Alotta, Rhyno - really??

Floki

Went on a few dates in my 20s with a bloke called Roscoe. Never met another one.

Aya

When DS was born there was a Jorja on the ward. I think the mum said it was the name of an actress in a US drama

I met someone with a daughter named Fabia and liked the name. But then there was a car called Fabia, so I wasn't so keen

Zamfira
Dulcibella
Olfa

I once met a Celandine, name of a flower I believe.

You could have the name Pilewort!! Another name for the lesser Celandine.

Nerissa
Vashti

Tobyn (or Tobin)

I live near a little girl called Kestrel which I think is so beautiful! She goes by Kess. I'd love to use it one day.

Halo
Araminta
Java
Rosella

Ramsay
Digby
Marmaduke
Apollo

Petroc for a boy. I think its Cornish.
Torin
Darlington

I recently met my first Roscoe- from the Scilly Isles. It’s a pretty cool name IMO.
