We like less common but legitimate names (our girls names list is huge!).....as a teacher I do find it hard to not discount all names as "x" childs name

After a shortish name as we have a long surname

Girls style is

  • Iona
  • Clara
  • Chloe
  • Nyah


All ideas welcome

Theo was 19th most popular in 2018. Theodore was 29th.
Isaac was 20th.

Both nice names but well used these days!

Some of those are very common eg Theo, Finn, as you stated in your op you're looking for less common names.
