No judgement allowed.

I love so many including Murphy and Story for girls.

Also Tiger and Darwin for boys.

I have more but I'll post those when they come to mind.

What are your favourite unusual names?

I also love Hero for a girl.

Not sure if they are very unusual but I love Ariadne, Isolde and Bambi for girls. For boys, I love Aspen for some reason!

I don't know whether it actually counts as unusual but I met a baby boy Rafferty the other day, combined with his very "blues musician" surname I absolutely love it. I'd never heard it as a first name before.

whatausername · 17/05/2023 16:38

Evelyn for a boy, and Adolpho. Augusta, Lavinia, Eurydice, Dakota and Aspen for girls. Wouldn't use any of those but I like the sounds.

Hero for a girl.
