So the Camerons have a baby girl born in Cornwall today. They want suggestions for a Cornish middle name: dare I suggest Demelza? Although, I thought of it first, didn't I, with Helen Demelza being my daughter #2's Christian names. I suspect there are some lovely Cornish names smiley - ok

... so long as they don't choose "Camilla" (which won't please the Queen...)smiley - jester

... or "Pasty" smiley - cheese

... or "Icecream" smiley - laugh

smiley - chickAll the best to the little one, born on a Full Moon no lesssmiley - fullmoon I wonder if I should draw up an (accurate) horoscope?smiley - yikessmiley - run

Demelza is a lovely name - they should use that.

The Royal Cornwall isn't immune to cuts incidentally, it has had serious budget issues that past couple of years and has to close down a few departments.

Well you've got me looking now, GB - there are loads of sites listing Cornish names. The nicest girls name I could find was Merryn.

Merryn is a boy's name. I base this on a sample of one bloke I know called Merryn.

David and Samantha Cameron have named their new daughter Florence Rose Endellion Cameron, the "Endellion" is the Cornish name.

On the page I looked, Merryn was a boy's AND/OR a girl's name, but it was the prettiest, except for Jennifer, which didn't seem exclusively Cornish to me.

I don't think "Endellion" appeared on the list, so they must have done more thorough research than I did.

That was me smiley - sadface

The Mods say that my list of Cornish names 'although genuine, appears to be an attempt to disguise profanity'. Presumably a link would be failed for the same reason, so you'll just have to put 'funny cornish names' into a web search engine of your choice and try to imagine which ones I found funny.

Can I legitimately mention the option of Mahershalalhashbaz Cameron?
