Hmm. Slim pickin's for me here. I love: Elias, Delia, Alba and Louisa.I'm interested in Huldah (who would name their child "weasle?")I like your thoughts on Wanen. There's a documentary on Boudicca that claims the alternate form, Boadicea, is a similar mis-hit of some letters by monks using candle-light to copy texts. Also, Imogen was supposedly originally Innogen. I have no idea if these (or your) theories are correct. But just wondering about them is fun. :-)Thanks for the thread.

I just tried to stick to the interesting names. There were tons of Marys, Williams, Roberts, Elizabeths, etc. But I thought that a male and a female Persia was unusual. I'm not a fan of it for a person, but it's more feminine to me.
