When other people has asked this, I think Keziah is old fashioned, unusual and sounds good. Depends on the surname too. |

I have a daughter called Angela. But when I started tracing the tree I found an ancestor called Angelina. I much prefer that but at 29 my daughter won't change! Jane |

A friend of mine called their daughter ERIN. I considered Briony and Imogen but ended up with Kirsten (which was quite unusual 13/14 years ago) Janet |

Willoughby Praxadis Urith Mahala Kerenhappuch Zilpah You didn't actually ask for pretty names, did you? Do check the meanings, though. I rather like Mahala, but it means "barren". What mother in their right mind would saddle a daughter with that for a name? Brenda |

I have a niece called Meriden. It is the name of a town in the centre of England. As she is the middle daughter, it turned out to be prophetic! I have 2 other nieces called Freya and Erin. Freya is more common now, but 19 years ago was a very rare name. I also know of girls called Chalace and Ocean and Shyan. My daughters have boring names - Katie and Gemma! LOL Sue |

My grt Grandmother was called GRIVINNA - It's a name I have not seen again in all my research . There have been the odd LAVINNIA'S . I have a great Aunt called HAZEL - I think it's loverly name.
