Going on from the boy thread. I'm 14 weeks so don't know what I'm having yet but I have the feeling its a girl. Only problem is we have a boys list a mile long but only some ok girls names.

I love Teddy, Tyger, Wolf, Fox, Dexter etc for boys but can't seem to find any names like this for girls. Any ideas?

I always liked Imogen but could imagine the "What are you calling your child a stupid fancy name like that for" I would have got from the intelligentsia around here, so I resisted Sad

crackfox another person who always has the same name as several friends / colleagues. We have a slightly bigger office, but there's four with 'my' name. There was four in my year at school too.

I'd much prefer a name that won't get me muddled up with other people. It's actually really bloody annoying having to check which 'meglet' someone is talking about.

From the names suggested I would go for Emerald. (Although she would probably end up being called Em, which is more main stream which is good or bad depending on your point of view).

Katniss?

I like old-fashioned unusual names:

Camille
Celeste
May
Lydia
Marianne
Kitty
Phoebe

Ludways · 01/03/2014 01:27

Some of these names are lovely but I'm sure some people just had their cat randomly walk over their keyboard!

RubyFlint · 01/03/2014 01:03

I knew an Annapurna... named after Himalayan mountains.

Willow?

Apparently my name is 'classy faux original middle class cool'

One of my DDs has made it onto that list as well, I suspect from the reactions DS's name gets it would be on a similar list. My other DC's name tends to get 'eh?' from most people. Which is amusing since all three names are very common where I come from and not considered 'cool' or 'unusual' at all. Hey ho.

I think Aphra is having a bit of a moment so would say that is quite cool. Or maybe just a classy faux original middle class cool.

There are some lovely names on here but some really, really terrible ones Shock

I don't won't to mention the ones that I think are a bit too out there in case I offend someone although, I am fairly confident no one has called their DD 'Plum' PLUM! Really!!! Confused Grin

cerealqueen · 28/02/2014 22:55

I wanted to call DD1 Orchil (gaelic) but DP was put off as we'd have to spell it all the time.

However, the name we did choose has appeared here Grin.

A lot of these names are not even that unusual

TheCrackFox · 28/02/2014 22:26

I work in an office of 5 and 4 of us share the same name. But, hey, we were all born in 1970's and there was seemingly only 5 girls names to choose from (3 of us even share the same middle name). Far better to stand out from the crowd.

Kikibee · 28/02/2014 22:17

PMSL if ever there was a try hard thread then this is it. No doubt most of the kids will go the same way as zowie Bowie and end up changing their name to something 'more usual'

scottishmummy · 28/02/2014 22:12

If you think wolf,or tyger so cool.get dh to use them.he can say he call me tyger,t-y-g-e-r all my friends do
See how it goes flown before you inflict on wee baby
Adults picking coolest names is v indulgent and bit oh isn't we sooo cool

woodrunner · 28/02/2014 21:59

I knew a Darcy and a Claude both of which seemed very cool to me. And someone on here the other day was asking about Avery which I think is lovely. Unisex names work really well on girls.

CaipirinhasAllRound · 28/02/2014 21:49

I love Peta, and Primrose

NeedsAsockamnesty · 28/02/2014 21:31
