These are two names that have meanings that I love - Iskra means spark (Stephen Fry did a really interesting essay on Iskra meaning the spark of knowledge, but a google search brings up nothing on it) and Tesni - warmth from the sun.
But I dislike the sound of both and when I brought up Tesni to my brother his reaction was "TESTES?! Are you crazy!?"
I've now marked them for future cats. My question is - are there any names with neat histories or meanings that you wouldn't use - whether they're too unusual or you just don't like the name or they have baggage you don't like?
The moral of Pete's story is: No matter what you step in, keep walking along and singing your song... because it's all good.
