NOTD - Unusual British Names

Sorry I've been absent! for some reason I can't post from work anymore. I can see everything and the box to type is there, but I can't do a darn thing, and posting NOTD from my phone is a pain in the butt. So bear with me :) 

And these aren't really all that unusual IMO, but I'm just going off the list ;)

Girls:
Millicent - Meaning - "strong in work". Origin: German
Constance - Meaning - "steadfastness". Origin: English version of Latin Constantia
Elisabet - Meaning - "pledged to God". Origin: Scandinavian

Lachlan - Pronunciation - LOCK-lin. Meaning- "from the fjord-land". Origin: Scottish
Luca/Luka - Meaning - "man from Lucania. Origin: Italian variation of Luke and Lucas
Matteo - Meaning - "gift of God". Origin: Italian variation of Matthew

In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!

  • These don't sound British!  But, I'll play:

    Millicent - too old-fashioned
    Constance- nms and don't like the nn
    Elisabet- Elisabetta is pretty, this just looks like a letter is missing!
    Lachlan- really odd
    Luca- I obviously love it!
    Matteo - I like it a lot
