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?

Janessa - a combo of the two DGMs

Reesa - a combo of DM
& DF's names

I don't like either of them but they're unusual.

Or you could go with Joyce or Deirdre? They must be due a comeback

I also went to school with a girl called Velvyn

CityDweller · 22/07/2021 22:40

I once met a baby girl called Five. No idea what the story was there!

I also know an (adult) Adeline, which I think is a nice, unusual name.

Genitalia I had a summer job where we used to personalise things for people, the woman checked three times and then phoned to double check the spelling as it was a friend's daughter.

BunnyRuddington · 22/07/2021 22:39

BunnyRuddington - There were 3 girls called Strawberry is 2012 too.

Now that's one name I've never met anyone with!

Just caught up with the thread a bit and have spotted DD's name. We have met one other and someone with a different spelling but that's it so far.

My dd is Rosina named after my Grandma (it was her middle name). Not many with her name and everyone comments on how pretty it is.
