I found a little burial ground this afternoon near where I live and saw two interesting names on gravestones: Zelmira - wife of
Godfrey and the ultimate virtue name - Virtue
Alice.
Thoughts? Zelmira seems is apparently an opera by Rossini. There is a user-submitted entry for it. Sounds exotic to me, I quite like it.
Also, two university friends of mine recently had a daughter named
Blossom. The parents' names are
Simon and
Mia.
Mia is Swedish and they are currently living in Sweden. It's not really my style (reminds me of a My Little Pony I had!) but it's a sweet name. I'm guessing it would be quite unusual in Sweden?
