Curious post - What names have you heard previously or if you heard them would make you go "wow" (in good way) or a name you'd think was simply sublime? Interested to hear your wow names

Is there really such a thing as a wow name?

I think it's more likely to be wooooooooo why would anyone name their child that, than WOW thats a great name.

Sorry

Vita. I’ve always thought it was the most beautiful name and would have loved to had used it for one of our DDs but it just felt strange with no Italian connections. Same with Valentina, and Allegra.

Upon reflection I definitely should have married an Italian man...

Gabriel, I love it.

Valencia, Valentina, Sierra. Basically names that would seem silly for a super northern European couple like myself and OH.

Mostly when it's a wow name it is not for a good reason.Not many children will thank you for a wow name.
With all the wanting a unique name not much thought is given to how the child may feel ,not all children want to be singled out by a name and it could be a whole new fresh hell as a teen.

Valentine. I think it's the most gorgeous name, DH would never agree though so I was never able to use it.
