Look on wikipedia if you don't believe me!

Lettice is a proper name with a long history although yes, I can see the opportunity for teasing. Although possibly not at the sort of schools Boris's children will attend...

They do seem to have cast the net rather wide when looking for names... IIRC Boris has some exotic middle names or should have an exotic surname that was changed after his grandad was torn apart by a mob in some revolutionary violence in Turkey. (Was on an episode of Who Do You Think You Are.)

Ooh yes, I'm sure there's a Lettice in one of the Miss Marple stories. Possibly an attractive young woman married to an elderly vicar or something?

I adore them all except Appollo

chuckieegg2008 · 17/02/2009 19:21

I like Cassia Peaches and Milo Arthur.

ttc at the moment and we both like Arthur.

I don't think they're bad, except Peaches is not a name - it's a fruit or sometimes a term of endearment.

fattiemumma · 18/02/2009 14:49

i quite like them.
not sure they'd be on my own shortlist thoguh

belgo · 18/02/2009 14:51
