Not Mango or Princess Tiaami before anyone thinks they are being really witty!

I am mixed race dh is white, so our child would look olive skined (like ds) or very possibly like a pale black/mixed raced person. Just thought i'd get that in before anyone flames me! Telling me how awful it is to inflict such a name on a typical British looking child.

My name is arabic in origin. Ds has a very british biblical name and i would like a more unusual name if i were to have a girl.

I wanted Imani for my DS if he had been a girl. It's Swahili for 'Grace' apparently (our kids are also mixed race). Ended up calling our DD Bella, but also loved Anna-Maria, Maya, Nina, Zora (after Neale-Hurston) and Saoirse (I'm Irish background, though) and DH like Anya and Angelique.

Thankyou! He look like his dad!

just unusual, maybe Spanish, Italian, Carbbean or Arabic, or maybe something floral sounding? To be honest i'm not really sure. Think that's why i'm struggling.

My names Safia (If that helps) people always tell me how exoctic it sounds.....it doesn't to me but i haven't met any.

That post sounded really stressy should have thrown in a few 's.
