There's also Oona O'Neill, daughter of Eugene O'Neill and wife of Charlie Chaplin
The name definitely suits Chio. I'd also be in favour of Charles being called Tiberius if the name Charles weren't slightly better. It has just the right combination of poshness and normality to not suit him
I've never thought my name suits me, I think it's beautiful but it sounds too feminine and religious for me. And everyone always sings to you, the sound of music, west side story, ave Maria and what have you. I like Marie much better, it's shorter and more jolly. One friend randomly started calling me Pete in high school and that stuck with a few people, I loved that. I wouldn't want to change my name though, it has grown on me. A bit like an awkward looking but comfortable oversized sweater.

An electronic Vaishnava chant box, and Eucharist wafers (I’ve bought these several times – am no longer Catholic, but I love the taste of those things!).
