Not Mango or Princess Tiaami before anyone thinks they are being really witty!

I am mixed race dh is white, so our child would look olive skined (like ds) or very possibly like a pale black/mixed raced person. Just thought i'd get that in before anyone flames me! Telling me how awful it is to inflict such a name on a typical British looking child.

My name is arabic in origin. Ds has a very british biblical name and i would like a more unusual name if i were to have a girl.

I would spell it Tia rather than cup-of-tea tea!

I think Thandie is the best name on this thread. Thandie Tia might be a bit much together though

Actually I think you're right about that, Leo9 - I think I was getting confused with Thea.

Sidonie.

I would have called dd this if I hadn't chosen to call her Gabrielle after my mother instead (out of guilt - a way of saying 'thankyou' and 'I love you' to my mum who is the best grandma in the world)

msdemented · 30/01/2009 23:15

Sorry - pronounced Sid oh nie (emphasis on second syllable)

Aminata

I have fallen for this name in a big way.

I have heard of Araminta. I know a mixed race Safia and I have heard of Demelza. This is in reply to odd posts here and there.

My ds is olive-skinned & brown eyed (mixed race) her name is Eliz pronounced El-iz, rather than 'Elize'. Suits her down to the ground and I don't know of another. Receptionist at the GP surgery never fails to tell me how lovely her name is.

misscat · 15/02/2009 15:16

Sorry there! meant to say dd is called Eliz!
