Unusual girls names

Snoopy90 · 18/06/2019 07:38

I'm looking for a girls name that's unusual, easy to pronounce, and a proper name/doesn't sound made up. We've already got a Jasmine so something that goes nicely would be ideal. Something like Tamsin or Saskia. Any other ideas? Thanks!

@AstonMartini

It is a very worrying development that Willow keeps cropping up on name threads.

Willow was 26 in the top 100. It's not just popping up on mumsnet. It's been getting more popular for years!

Aurelia? Not mentioned yet.

Meredith?

Amaris it's biblical I think. Loni? Celeste?

Rosalie is lovely, though. I'd try to talk your DH into it, OP. Either that, or give him a shortlist of names he hates plus Rosalie, and tell him he can choose.

Sasha spelt this way is unisex. I have known French boys and girls with this name.

Millypolly90 · 19/06/2019 11:19

Don’t use Sacha- it’s a boy’s name short for Alexander
I really like Saskia

DennisSkinnersMolotov · 19/06/2019 11:03

Lydia as suggested by pp is lovely. My niece (14) is a Lydia and there aren't many at all.

Laurel
Jacinda
Vivian
Belinda
Natasha
Marielle
Valentina
Leonora.

All genuinely unusual, as in she will be the only one with her name in the class barring a massive coincidence and all 'go' with Jasmine

MyInnerAlto · 18/06/2019 23:03

Sacha spelled like that is a Russian boys' name.

MyInnerAlto · 18/06/2019 23:02

Saskia is lovely.
Not keen on Marnie, and it appears to be on the rise.

Loveday, Lydia and Hester are good.
