Page 3 | After a unique name?

I already have two daughters and we’re having a third child… after unique, not common names :)

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Do you mean unusual as opposed to unique? Unique means one of a kind, so unless you make it up there with always be other people with the same name. My mum has a unique middle name because her dad misheard a French name when he was away during the war, there is literally no one else on the planet with her middle name.

I have an uncommon first name and love it and never had issues or teasing at school. I loved being the only one, and not one of the 4 Rebeccas or Sarahs! Its only 4 letters long and also a place name- which isn't rare or unheard of. Its written how it phonetically sounds, but despite this, I have had it spelt wrong- often by adults.
Think of Jane. I've also had Jain, Jayne, Jyne, Jyane, Gane! What I'm trying to say is that even a 4 letter, IMO easy name, can be tricky for some!
Here are some other ideas:

Coral/Coralie
Verda
Briar
Azure
Yvonne
Chaya
Rain/e
Rayna
Nia
Layke

Cren
Trader
Dalton
Colt/Colton
Kai
Jai
Blaze
Conan
Levi
Riley
Lincoln
Beau
Mason
Seren
Azlan

Yes don’t think OP looking for english lesson. When people say unique, they mean unusual, and that they are less likely to meet another one in their lives, of any age (babies or adults)

People always pick up on the “wrong” usage of “unique” on baby name threads, but surely it’s obvious, given that no one will ever meet or know of every person in the world, that what is meant is more like “unique to their life”, ie, the child will probably never meet another person with their name in their life.

If you like Francis it can be a girls name too if spelt Frances

Hoppinggreen · 24/06/2024 14:10

Unique means its the only one so I think you probably mean unusual.
What sort of names do you like? Do you want a theme?
Whatever you choose just remember you won't be the one who has to carry it all their lives

All these threads make me think of Jimberley now.

Me too! 😂 When I see a name thread my brain just goes 'have you considered Jimberly? '

Thanks for the English lesson. I say very unique as that's how I personally feel about my name. Unique doesn't cut it for me as that feels positive. I don't know if it's 'very rare' as I would need international statistics for that.

Hey, I agree with the unique names but how unique are you thinking?? Reason I ask is my name is very unique
It can't be very unique. It's either unique, entirely one of a kind, or it's very rare. Very rare is not the same as unique

I echo the pp about the downside of a unique name. I'm.one of less than 400 worldwide with mine and I hâte it. It's mispelled all thé time, toi.

ruralwanderer · 24/06/2024 11:54

Athena or Araxie for girls?

Workawayxx · 24/06/2024 11:54

I think you need to give a bit of a hint to what names you like nature names, traditional, modern etc? Maybe some examples and similar names to the DC you already have (if you don’t want to give actual names).

I found looking at the top names list but only the names 100 and above in popularity helped!

Hey, I agree with the unique names but how unique are you thinking?? Reason I ask is my name is very unique and I hated it growing up. At school I wished I had a 'normal name' - not something totally common but at least one that didn't follow 'oh that's unusual, where are your family from?'. As I am older I have never learned to love it and sometimes joke with my parents why they gave me this name. I have considered changing it by depol but seems a lot of hassle now at 45 to tell friends and family 'call me this' 🤣. Sorry to be negative, I know this is not really what you were looking for but just something to hear in mind 😊
