    Haha it's a very Italian and Greek name. DH's dad was Greek...and he was a George! I love the name.

    DD's name is Isla. We usually get, 'oh, that's a good Scottish name!' Had a few people read it and go, 'Iz-la?', one person act like it was a crazy made up bogan name

    DD is Sahara Anne. Everyone commented on a beautiful name, it suited her and how long it is (our last name has 11 letters). But she is definalty a Sahara and no other name would fit her.

    We get more of a reaction of what we wanted to call her if she was a boy. DH wanted a racing car/track theme. We would have called the baby Daytona. SO many people really hated it and said 'well luckily you got a girl'
