hi CONGRATULATIONS- nanny!!! its not really unusual but my little sister is called Ronni- Marie. My other sister is called Ruby- May I have always wanted to name my daughter Angel! -x-

When other people has asked this, I think Keziah is old fashioned, unusual and sounds good. Depends on the surname too.

i was going to call my little girl JAYAH After one of my midwives, we decided on CONNIE MAE instead Ex

I have a daughter called Angela. But when I started tracing the tree I found an ancestor called Angelina. I much prefer that but at 29 my daughter won't change! Jane

A friend called one of her daughters 'Liesl' - one of the kids from 'Sound of Music'!

My sister's name is Tia. Forgot about that, I mean her. :-)

Congrats to both of you grannies, 1 Of my grandaughters is called Torrance and her sister is called Summer,another grandaughter is called Dacoure. I'm with Daniel I LIKE Kezeiah only problem with this name it would get shortened to Kizzy. Sue

I have a Damascene in my tree (early 1800s).

Willoughby Praxadis Urith Mahala Kerenhappuch Zilpah You didn't actually ask for pretty names, did you? Do check the meanings, though. I rather like Mahala, but it means "barren". What mother in their right mind would saddle a daughter with that for a name? Brenda

I have a Hermione in my tree - Harry Potter comes to mind! I also have an Adelaide in my tree - pretty name.

I have a niece called Meriden. It is the name of a town in the centre of England. As she is the middle daughter, it turned out to be prophetic! I have 2 other nieces called Freya and Erin. Freya is more common now, but 19 years ago was a very rare name. I also know of girls called Chalace and Ocean and Shyan. My daughters have boring names - Katie and Gemma! LOL Sue
