I came across some new/interesting names in a book I just finished.

Twins
Sholto and Sophronia
WDYT?

I looked them up. Sholto is a scottish/celtic name meaning fruitfulness.
Sophronia (so FRO nee ah)....(I thought it was so FRON yah) is greek meaning prudent.

The story takes place in England not long after World War I.

Sophronia would be nice if you wanted the nickname Sophie but didn't like Sophia.

I'm reading another book that takes place in ireland and came across a couple more interesting names.



*EDIT* [Pidge] which is short for PJ for Patrick Joseph
and Hanorah which to me is sort of a mash of Hannah and Norah

what do you think?

I think they're all interesting, though I wouldn't be able to bring myself to using them in real life :P

Hanorah I kinda think sounds really beautiful, actually :) and Pudge is a cute nickname, though of course I'd think of a pudgy boy, hehehe :)

Sophronia I'd kinda like if it were the way you originally thought it was :0 I don't like the real pronunciation :P

Yeah I ment to type Pidge not Pudge. Pudge would be something awful. :)
