It's a GP on a boy only for me (spelt Waverley) (m)
in reply to a message by ABs Mum
I like it because of the railway station in Edinburgh *blushes* I kept going to Edinburgh or travelling through Edinburgh so I kept seeing Edinburgh Waverley and it just grew on me. It seems rather Victorian romantic, sort of 'age of steam' type thing (that's the station connection, I think).
I think what really sealed it was when I came up with Henry Waverley and Charles Waverley. I'd use it as a middle name, it gives me the feeling of a Victorian industrialist or something - Henry Waverley Brown, Edward Waverley Calder, John Waverley Flint etc like Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
However, Waverly on a girl is just ugly and trendy. Just fits in with all the over surnames ending in -ly that are kicking around.
