Have found out baby is a girl. DS is Magnus. We were going to go with Margot, but as it’s shooting up the popularity charts at a furious rate, we are going back to the drawing board. Some of the names we like are quite unusual. I’m open to ideas which might be considered mildly bonkers.

I like Loveday (my favourite, but DP says no),
Celeste,
Delphine,
Gaia,
Amaris (sounds too much like amorous, doesn’t it?),
Lennox (DP wrinkled his nose in horror),
Cecilia (can’t have this as my new and very evil stepmother is named Celia),
Joan,
Marianne (doesn’t go with surname, which ends in an ‘an’ sound).

DP has suggested Hero (which I like), and Savannah (which I don’t), and that is pretty much all he can come up with at present.

Would love to hear some of your suggestions, preferably not within the top 100, if poss. Is there an unusual name you’ve always loved but decided not to use? I occasionally see people on here comment they would have loved to have used such-and-such but weren’t brave enough. Thanks, all!

Just thought maybe Magnolia bit close to Magnus. Opal is another one I like

What about Cecily instead of Cecilia? Or still to close? I really like Delphine on your list?
Marigold, Persephone, Amethyst, Magnolia,Coco all ones I've wanted to use but haven't
