By unusual do you mean one that no other child of their age will have?

If so I would recommend

Jane
Ann
Mary
Vivienne
Katherine
Margaret

Or

John
David
Paul
Andrew

lilibet is right, Martha and Finn are nice names, but unusual? Not any more they're not.

Jane, Ann, John, Mark etc would be unusual.

I quite like Naomi, Esme, Sasha type names (if they are a 'type'). They might not be unusual exactly, but mainly just need to fit with daughter's name which is African/Gaelic. Please help!

Thank you - these are more along the lines of what I was thinking. I like Saskia, but there's one down the road. Anya is lovely too.

How about Aine with is Gaelic Anya if that makes sense. Pronounced more Onya depending on your accent.

fine line between unusual and wanky trying too hard

what is your culture/heritage?can you draw upon it.

Zoe and Asa.

Meredith, Mali, Eira - would fit well with Nia as they are all Welsh?

Sylvie is also pretty and unusual.

rachel1970 · 29/10/2010 19:00

Orla

Quentin

LolaSummers · 29/10/2010 21:36

our DD is Elodie, so many people comment on what a lovely name it is.

Elodie is french, Elodia is spanish version and not as nice in my opinion!

Leonora, Xanthe and Clemency are all gorgeous yet hardly used.[hsmile]
