    Yep, I thought DD's name would be a less common name, but it seems to be popping up everywhere, tho I only know one othe IRL, here in BB land, there are little Lily's popping up all over! I can't blame people, it's a gorgeous name

    Woops, I forgot to add the name The name we had picked was Sophia Eleni ( Σοφία Ελένη). I think it is a beautiful name for a little girl.

    I like unusual names, with me being maltese and DP being Greek we dont want a too common name! We liked Eleni (helen in english, my ma's name and my middle name) but then DP's cousin named her daughter that. We liked Katarina, then DP's cousin named her daughter Ekatarina ... Now we're back to square one with girls names

    For a boy we have 2 names
    1. Sotirios iannis (Ιάννη) (after DP's great grandfather iannis (john in english) after his dad)
    2. Vincenzo Joseph (Vin CHEN so) (Vincenzo my great grandfather, Joseph my grandfather)

    Just gets so annoying iykwim?

    DD1's name is Keira. She was born a few years before Keira Knightly became a star.

    Her name was rather rare prior to that. When she was about 5 everywhere we went there would be two or three year old Keira's everywhere.

    And yes it ****es me off! Stupid bloody Keira Knightly!
