Unusual Names with meaning

[Daisydaisy17]

I'm looking for suggestions for either boys or goths names with some meaning.

I like to be a bit different so after 17 plus years of trying for a baby I'd like a make with some meaning.

Anyone have any ideas?

Goths 😂
Daniel - attractive
Jack - rebel
Ethan - strong

Granita - love
Cara - beloved
Faith, Hope, Joy.

Bloody spell check

The meaning of those names should be correct, but I'm not 100% certain. These are some of the names on our list...:

Yaron: he that is going to sing/rejoice (or something like that... )
Arik: derived from Ariel, God's Lion
Torquil: Thor's cauldron
Elric: according to behindthename either noble ruler or elf ruler
Ulrik: apparently means prosperity and power
Betram: bright raven

Láilá/Laila: Sami/Scandi form of Helga: blessed
Lettice: Joy
Selena: moon
Nektaria: nectar
Greta: pearl
Tuva: Apparently, according to the internet derived from Thor and beautiful...
Arielle: female version of Ariel

I also like Apolline.

Apolline is lovely, could be Polly.
I also like Aquillina, meaning 'she knows', it's Spanish.(Lily/Lina).
Tuva is nice.
Love Ulric and Elric.
Someone suggested Ula/Ulla, the other day, it's an Irish name, meaning sea pearl. I think it's rather lovely !

Sugar


Aww, thanks :) I really like Grania, btw! If we had any kind of Irish connection...

Oh yes, Ulla/Ula is very nice, I agree :) Ulla is also Scandi. According to behindthename (an in my expererience surprisingly accurate baby names website...) it derives from either Ulrika, Hulda or Ursula. All interesting names with meaning.


I agree, Aquilina is really lovely! We actually have an Aquilina mentioned our family records (if you go back faaar.... She was meant to marry a male ancestor of mine but she married someone else, because they thaught he was dead. So he married her sister...).

I didn't know about the Spanish meaning, so cool :) In Italian Aquila means eagle and Aquilina means little eagle or eagly like (naso aqulino, eagle nosed...)

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

Hi Shark, loving the little story of Aquilina, and your ancestor, marrying her sister. 😄
I much prefer the Italian meaning, little eagle.
OP, I also like Golda, meaning gold, of course. The origins apparently, are either English, or Yiddish !

[FeedTheSharkAndItWillBite]

Hi Sugar :)

I've also always been fascinated by it (I mean... I wonder what the different people involved thought whilst this was happening...)

Golda is really coold. I kind of wonder if the OP is still here and if yes, what s/he is thinking ;)

[FluffyBathTowel]

I like Merryn for a girl. It means joyful.

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

Seen anything you like Daisy ? 😄

[bridgetreilly]

Hephzibah: my delight is in her

[OlennasWimple]

Almost all names have a meaning, OP. Is there something more specific you are after?

[QuietNameChange]

Beatrix: blessed
Donata: given/gifted
Donato: male version. Maybe more of a middle name....
Isidora: gift of Isis
Theodora: gift of god
Theodore: also gift of god
Honor
Aaron: mountain of strength (maybe?)
Frederick: Peaceful ruler
Nicholas/Klaus: Victory of the people
Victory
Victoire

[PirateQueenie]

The only advice I'd give is don't get overly carried away with meaning, and choose something that sounds lovely. I know someone who called their daughter (I'm not sure of the spelling) Fear. It apparently means something in Irish like wild or something. But the whole family always say how all they think of is phobia when they hear it 😕 I personally think it would have been an okay middle name but the poor girl!

For a girl:

• Lucia (graceful light)
  

• Celeste/ Celestine (heavenly)
  

• Mireya (miracle)
  

For a boy:

• Jesse (blessing)
  

• Aaron (miraculous)
  

Congratulations, btw!
What a beloved baby she/ he will be, after 17 long years of trying...
