We cannot think of a girls name we like that isn't really popular.

Names we like but for various reason probably won't use are;

Storm
Sloane
Lovella
Quinn

Can anyone else suggest some more unusual girls names along the same lines?

Unpopular or "unique"
names are unpopular and unique
for a reason.

One of my school friends was Rowena, she'd be in her 50s now. I also knew a Xanthe. Most of my classmates were Samantha, Melanie, Debbie, Katrina, Alison, Frances, Sarah, Joanne, Fiona, Karen, Gillian, Helen, Clare, Rachel.

Agree with pps that Velvet and Melody are lovely. I also love Ingrid and Silvie.

Cotswoldmama · 12/11/2023 10:39

I've always loved the name Velvet after the character in the book and film National Velvet. I've got 2 boys though and I'm not having any more children.

I know a Quinn, love that name.

If I had another daughter, I would probably name her Morgan.

Mariel. It's my favourite ever girls name. DH vetoed it when DD was born 🙄

Meriel and Meryl are also nice. I've only ever met one of each.

MargotBamborough · 12/11/2023 09:59

IMO there is a very good reason no one else is calling their children Storm or Sloane.

If I wanted a name no one else was likely to use I would pick a name that was previously popular but won't come back into fashion for a long time, like Elaine, Suzanne, Michelle or Natalie, or a name that is currently very popular in another country but also works in English such as Celeste, Anouska or Ida.
