HelpRe: BAs from UK
in reply to a message by Sofia
I like
Beatrice Alice (Georgia and Toby)
Cecilia (Edmund)
(Nicholas)
Elsa (Matilda and Joseph)
Emily Alexandra (Clare and Oliver), sister Evelyn Leonora
Emily Sophia (Joanna and Andrew)
(James), Thomas Alexander and Harry William
Erin
(Emma and Rupert)
(Mélanie)
(Georgina and Jonathan)
(Sophie and William), Harry Alfred
Florence Elizabeth (Victoria and Martin)
Florence Iona (Ralph)
The one that really caught my eye, was Elsa Peto. I love Elsa, but Peto seems so weird and even wrong to me, because the word "peto" means beast in my mother tongue (Finnish). But apparently Peto is a real name: there are many o-ending female names in Greece (such as Leto, Cleo and Hero), maybe it's where this name comes too?

Peto is a surname, so it's possible they used it as honoring - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peto.
