Unusual girls names.

What is the most unusual/some of the most unusual names you know for little girls IRL (whether they are your cup of tea or not)

Looking for inspiration... don't mind if they are nicknames, nature, 'made up', from a different culture...I'm interested in hearing them all. Thank you.

I know a Wiz and a Raven.

Ditsy1980 · 07/09/2017 19:24

Persephone is the most unusual I know.

I love unusual names like Pixie, Rain and Wilder but I wasn't brave enough to use

Sasbel my gran was a Drucilla. But my gran. I know a Persephone and Ostara (don't know if they're spelt correctly), twin girls. Both names are goddesses of spring, and they were spring babies so it's fitting. Pretty names too.

God I love the Turkish names.

I know a little girl called Rain. I think it's beautiful.

Both Turkish names and both sound lovely. The ç is like a ch (church) sound and her nickname is chelly, which is cute.

I work in a nursery. If you want your daughter to have a unique name that no one else in her class will have you should call her something like Hannah. Or Claire.
