Just seen this in the telegraph BA's (uk) :o
I only picked out the interesting ones :PDylan Rose - on a girl?!
Sybella Sophie Beatrix
Primrose (Posy) Carole Enfys - don't really like the name Carole, but i guess it's honouring...also: Enfys! How awesome, i'd never heard of it before!!
Lettice - too much like lettuce for my liking ;)
I know it's not completely unheard of... Dexter Alan
Hester Grace
Harriott Rose - not a huuuge fan of changing spellings just to be individual
Digby William
Myrtle

Harriott is a surname, so I cannot help but wonder whether it is in this context the parents have used it, as opposed to it being a misspelling of Harriet. Perhaps it's an old family surname that they've decided to bring back as a first name.I might be completely wrong but it's just a possibility.

Dylan Rose doesn't surprise me sadly. I've seen this a lot lately (masculine first name/classic feminine mn)
Sybella Sophie Beatrix- lovely names, particularly Sybella and Beatrix, but it seems to much. Sybella Beatrix would have been nice.
Hester Grace - cute!

Dylan Rose is terrible. I am so tired of seeing boys names on girls.Sybella Sophie Beatrix is cute. I prefer Sibylla to Sybella. I love Sophie and Beatrix.Primrose "Posy" Carlole Enfys is different. I love Primrose and Posy. I despise the name Carole. Enfys is interesting. It's an okay name.I know Lettice reminds a lot of people of lettuce but I like how delicate it sounds. So cute!Dexter Alan is okay. I'm just sorta' meh about it.I like Hester. Grace is a nice name, it's pretty but EVERYONE uses it.I laughed out loud when I read Harriott on my cell, I thought it said Harrlott. I was so so sad for that poor little girl. I still am, that spelling is terrible. What's wrong with Harriet?Digby William is cute.I have a soft spot for Myrtle.

I love Primrose "Posy", Sybella (which I've never thought about before at all), and Myrtle.

Whoa, girls' names on boys here? Nooooooooo!
Sybella is great and I totally adore Enfys, silly as it is (and I secretly used to wish it was my name when younger. With Haf as a middle name, lol. Shh.)
Lettice is, um, cropping up a lot lately. I expect it's just a way of getting Letty.
Dexter is growing on me. Digby is funny and adorable - and yay Myrtle!

Ohhh... I wish I'd had a names meaning book when I was a kid. I totally would have named my Rainbow Brite doll Enfys Eirian if I'd known about either of them lol.

I adore Primrose Carole Enfys "Posy," Hester, and Myrtle! Lettice is nice too, though I prefer Laetitia / Letitia.
