    Demelza? Tamsin? Merryn? Lowenna?
    Personally I don't like any of them.
    Cornish baby names?
    But I do like, Denzil, as in Denzil Washington. I wonder if Denzil knows his name means "high strong-hold".
    Demelza is the heroine of Winston Graham's "Poldark" novels - made into a popular 1973 (?) ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ television series based on the books. The main character, Ross Poldark, a British soldier, returns from the American War of Independence, only to find that his fiancée, Elizabeth Chynoweth is about to marry his cousin, Francis Poldark. Ross marries Demelza Carne, a servant girl, and is gradually reconciled to the loss of Elizabeth's love.
    If I was going to pick a Cornish name, I think it would Trystan (the maker of load noises) because that's what a baby does. You hope as the child grows older, s/he begins to make more sense and sound more pleasant.

    Apologies, I should have made it clear - a baby girl, 6lbs 1oz, by caesarian section.
