Name of the Week - British Baby Names

Name of the Week - British Baby Names | Name News | Scoop.it
There's sweet Clare, vintage Clara, pretty Clarissa and Clarimond, a gothicly romantic name of medieval legend. Origin: The medieval name Clarimond started life as Claremunda, an Old Germanic hybrid.
Clare's insight:

This week's name is a clunkily awesome Romance/Germanic love child.  Wouldn't it be exciting to spot it in a birth announcement?  I do admire the names with a similar feel mentioned here, too: Elissent, Eglantine, Diademia et al.

Nameaholics Anonymous: Harry Potter Alphabet - I is for Ignatius

"Earlier this week my sister and I were discussing how "I" names can be hard to come by. There are some very popular ones (Isabella and variants), and some traditional ones (Isaac and variants), but once you get beyond those you tend to find either rare names (Iona, Isis, Iliad) or foreign names (Inigo, Igor, Ilsa)."
