Apologies if someone has posted this already - I tried to look for it and didn’t see one!

How many of these rare girl names from @sophiekihm ’s post did you already know?

[name_f]My[/name_f] score was 12!

[name_f]Adeluna[/name_f]
[name_f]Calais[/name_f]
[name_f]Cleotilde[/name_f]
[name_f]Harumi[/name_f]
[name_f]Ivalo[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilium[/name_f]
[name_f]Onnolee[/name_f]
[name_f]Pirjo[/name_f] (this was the name of my childhood friend’s mum! And quite common in my parents’ generation in Finland so feels like cheating a little)
[name_f]Questa[/name_f]
[name_f]Ruta[/name_f]
[name_f]Skysy[/name_f] - I’m counting this even though it’s actually a misspelling of the Finnish name Syksy :sweat_smile: (requested it to be fixed in the appropriate thread!)
[name_f]Tulia[/name_f]
