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?

DS is friends with an Isadora. It's a lovely name, her parents are from another country, don't know how popular it is there. I don't think of it as particularly 'pretty and girly' though, it's quite grown up and sophisticated to me.

Most unusual ( ie only met one ) I've encountered are Petronella Hester Cinderella and Callisto

Amour, nasteho, lettice, Pearl, Gwendoline

Lilly pebbles (blogger) has a daughter called grey. I'm all for unusual names but of all the colours to chose from grey is the worst one 😂 just so lacklustre. I would have gone for Magenta over that

Probably Magenta. Never met another.

I always like Corrine/Corrina/Celeste but didn't suit my DD.
Seraphina is very pretty.

On 24 Hours in A&E a few years ago there was a couple who were featured who called their baby girl Rohais, which is an old French word for Rose, apparently (I googled it because I thought it was so pretty!)

I’ve checked in a Cinderella and a Songbird (both real, legal names).

At ds' nursery, there's an Odette, a Valentina and an Isadora! I quite like those names, especially Odette. Can't say I've ever met any before. Although I realise the fact they are all at nursery means they could be becoming more popular...

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