Im really stuck on girls names, theres not a single name me and my partner can agree on. I want something unusual but something really pretty and girly. Whats the most unusual names you've heard?

J’Adore
DD went to nursery with a girl called J'Adore. She misheard her name when they first joined and called her 'Shut the Door' for ages.

Sloth I know a baby Wilhelmina - known as Mina. Really cute

I was in the doctor's waiting room once when twins Ocean and Harbour were called forward by the nurse.

I know an Aurora too and really struggle not to sing her name in the style of Snow's Informer Blush

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 22/07/2021 19:00

I know a little girl called Quiddity

ShiteheadRevisited · 22/07/2021 18:59

Effie, Mirabelle, Cidney, Ottlilie

Chunkymenrock · 22/07/2021 18:56

Aurora is extremely common and I just think roar roar roar or waw waw waw if you can't pronounce 'r'. Anyway, I loved my friend's daughter's name of Damaris. Also Phaedra. I love Cassia as an unusual name too.

My DS went to primary school with a girl called Ladybird.

Sjymie, pronounced Shimi, Dutch I think

BunnyRuddington · 22/07/2021 18:52

Aurora

I've got bad news for you, it's not that rare. You don't meet many but I think there's about 3 in our town.

cheesecrackerz · 22/07/2021 18:48

Some people here really haven't heard many unusual names...!

Half of these are pretty common

Especially Aurora, Elodie and Genevieve

MrsCrosbyNRTB · 22/07/2021 18:45

Huigenia - a loooong time ago though. She’d be about 50 now I think

Melody

We knew a couple who named their daughter J'Ouvert

Named after the first day of Trinidads yearly festival apparently

I just can't stand apostrophes in names

MadameOvary81 · 22/07/2021 18:39

I wanted Dahliana or Amara if we had a girl.

Sundance5 · 22/07/2021 18:38

Genevieve

Disfordarkchocolate · 22/07/2021 18:36

Olwen is a name I've only heard once and always thought sounded lovely.
