I have loads of girls named Medora, m-i-l has one called Magdalene. I wish some of the males had more unusual names - would make them easier to find! Maz. XX |

Just to be different from you lot, I have Huia Tui Riro Tiora. Myself and my sisters. Only the last is uncommon in NZ. Looking at the British b reg index I once saw an Enough. Cant you just picture a woman with dozens of children sayins 'that is ENOUGH' although I suspect it was an alternative spelling for Enoch. |

Hi I am like Rebecca C and I have a Zillah for a female. I also have an Algynon for a male, not sure how uncommon that is but he is the only person I know of with that name, he was my Pop and everyone used to call him Algy. Cheers |
