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?

BunnyRuddington would Magenta be about 28 now - dad was a printer?

No, it must be another one. Can't be too many around though surely? Smile

@BreatheAndFocus Hephzibah and Linnet were both on the longlist for DD, as were Loveday, Clodagh and several other names which have been mentioned on here. I think I read too many books with interestingly-named characters.

Sequoia. Names after After the National park. Had never heard of it before, but absolutely love it!
I know one of those! Wonder if it's the same one....

I knew an Uldreen and a Benitta. Never met anyone else with these names.

Apparently Courtney and Jade are on the way out. Couldn't move for high school age Courtneys about 15 years ago. I used to think it was my generation 's homage to grunge, but I think someone had a baby called Courtney on Eastenders.

Serenade
