Help[Opinions] From today's British "Daily Telegraph"
I haven't seen it myself, but a friend is chortling about this BA:
"To Gilly and Rupert, a daughter, Cleopatra Cordelia, a little sister for Dorothy and Wulfstan"
Par for the Telegraph course, imo!

Cleopatra, Dorothy, and Wulfstan sound like the name of random people the Doctor picked up as companions at various places in time lol
On their own, they're not bad and I actually kinda like Cleopatra Cordelia (very Shakespearean lol), but all the siblings together... definitely comes off as pretentious.

Found the siblings middles.. :)
I love it - so Telephraphy!
I looked them up - Dorothy is Dorothy Diane and Wulfstan is Wulfstan Wallace.
Cool alliteration. I don't care for Cleopatra with the surname (Easter) though.

Haha!
Oh god, that is so ridiculous, theatric, over the top and...! I love it!
TBH, I am delighted to see Cordelia. Great name. And a... unique combo.

I'm delighted. Names that are clearly gender appropriate, names with history, names with meaning, they're doing fine.

My sentiments exactly.
