*sound of 3000 name nerds salivating* hehehe
LOL
That set of Z names is over the top!
I love James Alder, and it is always exciting to spot a Hester.
Jemima Esme Annabel is sweet, and does sound nice with Edward.
Zinnia and Victoria were two of the daughters of Pop and Ma Larkin in “The Darling Buds of May” – I wonder if Zinnia Alice Victoria is named after the hit book/TV series?
This is why I love English birth announcements. Almost all of those names are lovely or interesting and I just love it! The one that jumped out for me is Angharad (Amelia Jonquil Angharad). I heard it in the movie I Am Love and I just think it’s so beautiful and exotic and mysterious and ever since then I’ve wanted to use it as a middle name for a future daughter, and I had never ever heard it anywhere else. It’s nice to see it!
This is the first time I’ve ever seen an Angharad. How do you pronounce it?
It’s pronounced pretty much how it looks, AN-gah-rad. To me it sounds like a faraway city or something, I just love it! I don’t think I’d use it as a first name though, but I really like it in the middle.
Okay, that’s how I was saying it. It’s pretty. I really like it and think it would make an awesome middle name.
PS It’s a Welsh name, it means “much loved”. I also looked up an audio pronunciation online and it was more like Ang-HA-rad, but I definitely remember it being pronounced as I wrote it. Anyway, I like it haha.
Cool meaning! Thanks for sharing.
is Wilf supposed to be Wolf or is it a real name?
Never heard of Tarka before
Wilf is a real name. It’s usually a nickname for Wilfred.
I’ve seen Tarka a couple times. Always in London or United Kindgdom’s birth announcements. The only thing I could find about Tarka was this.
Polish: nickname for a sarcastic, sharp-tongued person, from Polish tarka ‘grater’, ‘rasper’. Not a great meaning.
There’s a famous English novel called “Tarka the Otter”, and it’s been made into a film. I believe that upper-middle English kids grew up with it in the 1930s to 50s, and the film came out in the 1970s.
Maybe it’s an English literary nostalgia name? And a bit posh as well, because these days not that many families would have “Tarka the Otter” any more.
I think Tarka is just meant to sound like the “bark” of an otter, so I guess it’s a nature name as well.

Thanks for sharing!
I like the sound of Oliver Gordon “lister”, cool name.
Amelia Jonquil Angharad is stunning, and I somehow like the straightforward, lispy and unexpected Sam Somerset 😛 He’s sweet!
