DH and I both teachers and looking for quirky names!

[Naturally281110]

My DH and I are both teachers and don't want a name that will remind us of any pupil in particular- so we need something quirky/unusual but not totally "out there"!
DS is 14 months and called Logan- a name which is unusual but not in the realms of wacky and everyone seems to love it.
DC2 due in August and we don't know the sex.
Any ideas?
We've come up with a couple:
Blake
Riley
Noah

Violet
Scarlet (I don't like but DH does!)
Summer (too corney for an August baby??)

Some I've heard on MN lately and like are
Pixie
Wren and
Spike.

I like xavier! I have a friend called batman. Okay so it's not his Christian name but it suits!

I know a family with a Fergus and an Evelyn (and don't know of any others that have used them)....

Is Wren a boy or girls name?
Pixie is very cute but worried it may not suit an adult (I know that TV Dr is called Pixie and it does suit her......).
Am mulling over Quentin and Xavier. Genevieve is a lovely name but could be shortend to Gen/Jen which we already have as a close family member, but great suggestion, thank you!

Family dog was called Fergus! But is a funky name. DH is looking very thoughtful over Evelyn- could be shortned to Eve or Evie and then its a kind of 2 for 1!! Bargain!

Solange
Fleur

Ruben
Inigo

Lorne is a fave at the moment for if we ever have a boy
Aurelia of course for a girl lol!

Xander
Corben

Tessa
Peony
Tulip
Hebe

Evelyn is lovely, but not that unusual.

Lev for a boy, Margot for a girl

I would say Wren is a girls name?

Weird choices Pathan - how do you pronounce "Solange" (which translates as 'so long' in German)? Also what about Inigo?

I know a Dylan, gorgeous lad! His mum is Arabic, not that that makes any difference....

I had a friend who years ago had two goldfish called Socrates and Einstein

Blake and Logan have a sci-fi theme to me - Logan's Run and Blake's 7. I would think that was an intentional thing if someone told me their kids were Blake and Logan.

Romilly and Merryn are girls names I love

what about Morgan or Jude?

I think Solange is the name of Beyonce's sister, they say it as it's written really 'so-lange'.

Inigo is In-i-go (is that what you were asking?)

Inigo is getting more and more popular so I'd maybe avoid that if you're teachers as you may get a few coming through in a couple of years!

Ezra
Coran
Claude
Anders

Lara
Lila
Flora
Carys

Ross
Carl
Daniel
Stephen
Mark
David

Emma
Laura
Sarah
Louise
Rachel
Rebecca

All totally unquirky, but nice named that tend to belong to people older than your pupils.

I wanted a Rebecca, bit she was DHs first GF

Maybe this depends where you live, but I know babies & small children locally called Emma, Rachel, Daniel, Stephen, David & Mark.

flubba, sorry, yes a bit different. I like Solange and Ruben, not keen on my other choices .

Lorna for a girl.
Angelo for a boy?

Love Xavier and Violet from those names suggested so far

Cristalle.
Christina
Sid

Ok, I am getting a mediterranean vibe here?
In which case, how about Ariana for a girl and augustin for a boy

I have a Noa (girl)

Callum, Carter, Owen, Luca, Milan, Nico, Joel, Talon, Xavier

Allegra, Asha, Bryony, Clarissa, Christabel, Enya, Lyra, Rowan, Saffron

Runlola i love your name, brilliant film!.
