I used to know a girl called Cadillac, remember chasing after her one day down the high street when she'd managed to catch an open backed bus & I hadn't yelling her name - did feel rather dopey to say the least Beks

mamalino, I like Elmo, it doesn't sound odd at all!!!

I like Holly too (my DD's middle name) but combined with Hester I thought she was joking!!! At least she didn't choose Polly!!!

I know someone called Aphrodite - nothing wrong with that, although possibly a bit pretentious - but with a three-syllable, extremely German surname, it sounds rather
