Unusual but not weird names

Still searching for names. We would like something that isn't popular and unlikely to be in school with another. But nothing too weird that we spend the whole time telling people how to spell it/ pronounce it etc..

We called our boy Oakley (but it can also be used for a girl and with different spellings) - I hate 'common' names and love that he'll be one of the only ones in his class called this but without it being too 'weird'.

I have a Tabitha and that's not heard very often. We also liked Remy, Sorrel, saskia

This thread is from a few years ago but useful. Useable but uncommon names from the top 1000 of the ONS list

Lovely name Meredith.

I think a uncommon name is a better bet than unusual.

Disfordarkchocolate · 08/07/2018 07:13

Sally? Meredith is lovely too, Sylvie is my current favourite though.

I have just called my baby girl Meredith. All the nurses and midwives have commented on how pretty but uncommon it is.

Be careful... MumsNetters HATE ‘new fangled’!! 😂😂😂
