Interesting names

[bamboozledAardvark]

I'm not too hung up on names being unpopular or unusual, but I want DC2 to have an interesting name like DD (Hebe). We chose her name as we liked the origin and the story behind it. I also liked that it started with the letter 'H' as not many girls names do. We also have a steriotypically 'boring' surname so want to liven the DC's name up a bit!

We've already thought of

Eli
Angus
Zane
Rex
Idris

Kerensa
Luna
Isadora
Aurora
Pandora

What else can you suggest?

Sorry, quickhide..!!

Kezia and Seren are beautiful. Ignatius is unbelieveably cool but I don't think I would be brave enough!

I have a Merren!
Zenden for a DS?

I would have been Ignatius if I'd been a boy. My dad was keen on interesting names!

Lila
Romy
Ivy
Elsa
Margot
Elodie
Betsy
Biba
Augusta
Luella
Noa

Quinn
Easton
Monty
Eric
Percy
Skylar
Phoenix
Bay
Fergus
Finbar
Inigo
Rufus
Wilfred

Out of your names i like Eli for a boy, but i don't think any of the others are as nice/unusual as Hebe

Corinna or Conrad

Finbar or Albertine.

Rhoda
Alma
Aphra

I like Eli from your boys' list.

Eli is one of my favourites too, although feel it might need a longer name to go with it? Not keen on Elijah though.

FSB are you nigella lawson in RL????!!!!

I thought that too, Garanium

Today's additions to the ever growing list -

Saul
Roman

Delilah
Julia

Thoughts?

Love Zane and Rex from your boys list :)

Adore Isadora Aurora (especially) and Pandora from your girls list

How about: Xeven for a girl or Syrus for a boy?

I've got one .... inspired by someone's suggestion of Albertine which is a beautiful climbing rose, and here is another

Zéphirine

Zéphirine Drouhin is the thornless rose :o

Saul is good - not too out there, but interesting.

Hebe and Saul sound very good together.

Random brainstorm

Warwick
Verity
Perdita
Blue
Chase
Roman
Troy
Una

Zéphirine is lovely, and the nn Zephi would be very cute! Also really like Una, thanks :)

Mahalia is an unusual and pretty name as in Mahalia Jackson.

My siblings and I grew up with very unusual names and it was fun. A conversation starter usually and there was never a kid in our class with the same name. If the kid is confident then the name will be cool no matter what it is! :)
