Re: Victorian sightings
in reply to a message by Pie
Surrender - XD
Nebuchadnezzar - kind of an ostentatious thing to name your kid
Ostrick - one letter away from ostrich! Weird.
Badger - XD
Pretoria - I guess weird place names were given to babies back then too!
Melrose - sounds like the name of a Victorian estate. Wouldn't look out-of-place as the name of a manor in a Victorian novel
Victress - XD
Creamaleanouss - sounds like the name of a dessert
Carnation - one of the weirder Victorian flower names. I prefer Karamfila, which means carnation in Bulgarian.
Lemontina - remember when I mentioned the name Abricotine on one of my earlier posts? Lemontina sounds like she could be Abricotine's sister.
I admit, I kinda like Hilarion, and Marintha would make a great name for a princess in a fantasy novel.

Pretoria was in honour of a battle in the Boer War, there were quite a few of them.
Karamfila is lovely, never seen it before - thanks!
