I thought we could have a kind of ongoing thread about names-- good, bad, interesting-- that we come across in the outside world.
Today at the pool, there were adorable sisters named [name]Fiona[/name] and [name]Daphne[/name].

Iāve recently discovered that - forget the Telegraph announcements - The [name]Sunday[/name] Times (British) āHomesā suppliment is excellent for featuring the kind of families who pick really āwowā names for their children. A little boy named [name]Cairo[/name] was a recent find, as were siblings [name]Eero[/name] (m) and [name]Panama[/name] (f).
[name]Auburn[/name]
I posted this on another thread but another teacher at my school has a 19 month old [name]Adele[/name]. I was so excited!
I recently met a Tameika and Taiser (sister and brother)
Nameberries please list what country your in as well.
Im in the US. Yesterday, I heard a little girl named [name]Ala[/name]ā¦I had thought I had misheard it for [name]AVA[/name] but then heard it a second time and sure enough it was [name]Ala[/name].
Real sisters [name]Fiona[/name] and [name]Daphne[/name]? Yes! Thatās always been one of my favorite pairings!
I canāt think of any interesting names Iāve spotted latelyā¦ My husbands coworker recently named her son [name]Jaden[/name] [name]Chase[/name]ā¦ He tried to talk her out of it but she wouldnāt listen.
Iām in Australia, and I saw in the paper the other day, a little girl named [name]Acacia[/name] (nn [name]Cacie[/name]).
For those not familiar, [name]Acacia[/name] is actually a type of shrub/tree native to Australia, the most common being the Wattle tree.
I thought this was quite a unique name.
[name]Haven[/name]'t come across any children lately, but my professor has two cats named [name]Sebastian[/name] and [name]Beatrice[/name], which I thought was a great example of inspired naming. Sebsy and [name]Bea[/name], she calls themā¦
[name]Lemon[/name]
I forgot-- the same day I saw [name]Fiona[/name] and [name]Daphne[/name], there was a sibset of [name]Andrew[/name] and [name]Alice[/name]-- lovely! [name]Sebastian[/name] and [name]Beatrice[/name] are excellent cat names (and human names) and I love [name]Adele[/name]. [name]Acacia[/name] is definitely intriguing.
A teacher at my school is named [name]Lucerne[/name]-- apparently itās a flowerā¦ Iām not sure how it would be pronounced. I also found out one of my teachers named her daughter [name]Sophia[/name], and another (from [name]Wales[/name]) has [name]Sian[/name] and Valmai.
[name]Lucerne[/name] - very pretty. Itās also the name of a city in Switzerland which is pronounced (at least in English) - Loo-sern.
I met a little girl the other day calledā¦ LaStarā¦ what does everyone think of that?
My friends (twins) [name]Ana[/name] and [name]Emma[/name] just got a baby sister! Name: [name]Adela[/name].
I just saw this and had to come straight on here and mention it - itās not a child, but so fun! I was watching The Inspector Lynley Mysteries (a BBC programme) and one of the actresses credited was named ā¦ Honeysuckle Weeks. According to her Wikipedia page, her parents chose it because the honeysuckle was in bloom when she was born, and her middle names are, get this, [name]Hero[/name] and [name]Susan[/name]. Honeysuckle [name]Hero[/name] [name]Susan[/name] Weeks! Her siblings are [name]Perdita[/name] and [name]Rollo[/name].
[name]Auburn[/name]
auburn all I can say is that her parents had without doubt fantastic taste in names!
rollo
Honeysuckle, wow! I canāt say I would like to be named Honeysuckle, but itās certainly unique. [name]Perdita[/name] and [name]Rollo[/name], though, are excellent!
Today I saw:
[name]Nora[/name]
[name]William[/name]
[name]Susannah[/name] (!)
[name]Nola[/name] [name]Rose[/name]
[name]Hi[/name] [name]Auburn[/name] , FYI - Honeysuckle Weeks was also in another British mystery series called āFoyleās Warā. It was very good so you might want to check it out on video.
Yesterday I saw a [name]Ciera[/name] ([name]Sierra[/name] but yooneek). She was 18ish.
One of my co-workers named her child Jailey a few weeks ago. Which sounds cute (though I canāt imagine a 40-year old with that name), but did she seriously have to choose to spell it like JAIL-ey?? I live in the Netherlands, so she wonāt get teased about it much here I hope, but my co-worker and her husband are thinking of moving to the USā¦ Poor kid .
I am in Aus too, I love the sound of [name]Acacia[/name], and even considered it for my daughter, but I am so allergic to Wattle! lol. I sneeze all spring.
[name]Little[/name] ones from my daughterās play group (all 3 and under):
[name]Ciara[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name] and [name]Louie[/name] (twins)
[name]Edward[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name]
[name]Zara[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name] (nn [name]Tilly[/name])
[name]Danni[/name]
McKylie
[name]Lily[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Sophia[/name]
and my little [name]Elsa[/name]
Two more from the pool: [name]Althea[/name], who looked to be about 8 or 9; and [name]Juniper[/name]! At first I thought he said [name]Jennifer[/name], but it was definitely [name]Juniper[/name]. Iāve never heard of a [name]Juniper[/name] in real life, and it was definitely refreshing. She was probably 6 or 7, and her friend was named [name]Kaylee[/name] (or [name]Cayleigh[/name], [name]Kaylee[/name], etc). And [name]Althea[/name]-- Iāve always really liked that name.
A few years back, a lady at my church had a little girl named [name]Juniper[/name] ā[name]June[/name]ā. I always thought [name]Juniper[/name] was refreshingly unique, and even [name]June[/name] is not a name you see on small children, so I really liked it. Her brother was named [name]Elliot[/name], and I couldnāt help but think of E.T back then, but the name has grown on me since then.
