Do you have any names that you love but never see mentioned on MN?

Not sure if they're mentioned on here or not but I've always liked Ursula and Magnolia.

DonEmmanuelsDingleberries · 31/10/2019 17:17

I almost never see the following suggested: Ramona, Megan, Meredith, Hester, Faith, Solana, Leopold, Gregory, Otis, Quentin, Solomon, Magnus, Damian, Griffin, Emrys

@BigGlasses - I know a 3 year old Lorna. She's ace.

MissHenty · 31/10/2019 14:36

@mildlymiffed welcome back ☺️
Yes has become a trendy name I would say, along with the likes of Arlo, Ezra, Grayson, they’ve all got very popular last few years. Wonder what the next lot of names to appear from nowhere will be x

mildlymiffed · 31/10/2019 14:29

@MissHenty how funny! I'm back on MN after almost 3 years away! Its obviously become a trendy name in that time...!

MissHenty · 31/10/2019 13:37

@mildlymiffed yes RoWan is mentioned in almost every name thread on here. It’s pretty common now but not as common as the ubiquitous RoMan. Those 2 names have exploded in popularity the past 2 years. A few years ago they’d have been lovely names to use though. As they’ve come from nowhere and will be top 20 soon I think they will date and suddenly disappear and be this generation’s Keith or Darren

I agree the name Cole doesn’t get mentioned much on here and it’s a really nice name.

Agree Michael and Daniel don’t get mentioned much on here

Also names like Carol or Sally don’t get mentioned

Relatively popular names like Chloe also don’t seem to get mentioned much on MN for some reason

Boireannachlaidir · 31/10/2019 12:40

Dulcie is mentioned frequently on here.

PetraRabbit · 31/10/2019 10:45

Melanie and Claire

Daithi for a boy pronounced Dah hee
Francesca for a girl

PsychosonicCindy · 30/10/2019 23:34

I have a Dottie! Middle name Jean which I love (nearly hyphenated it!) Grin

username1724 · 30/10/2019 23:26

I love the name Lilla but only ever heard it IRL
Fleur I dont see mentioned really but that's my second favourite.

Justtheoneplease · 30/10/2019 23:15

I love the name Sara, not Sarah or Zara but Sara that rhymes with Lara

annienone · 30/10/2019 22:59

I love Laurent for a boy. Sounds unusual until you know someone with the name and it just seems to work!

annienone · 30/10/2019 22:56

@BigGlasses that's my IRL name and I still only know of 1 other! I'm 26 btw so definitely not a popular name!

paperandfireworks · 30/10/2019 22:33

Valentina or Anais.
Duncan.
