Re: "Names hip Londoners are calling their kids"
in reply to a message by Caroline
That is indeed a set of hip names. I was only surprised by these:
Carla - seems so "chavvy" (as they say over there) and downmarket. But seeing it convinces me that my premonition that unassuming names like Charlene, Brenda and Mitchell are going to become the next wave of hipster darlings
Delphi
Ethel - NEVER would have expected Ethel to make any kind of comeback
Gilda
Candida - I guess if you're hip enough the yeast infection connection doesn't matter
Virgil - I thought this name was doomed to wimpsville! I'm glad to see it's not
Atlas
Mitford
Zefi
Pensive - Pensive is just such a random word to show up as a name. Very unexpected.
