What's the most unusual baby name you love?

[WithACherryOnTop]

I love Ozymandias nn Ozzy for a boy.

Anakin too.I am a SW geek though.

Horatio.

And for a girl,Pepper.

I doubt that I'd ever use any of them.They're my guilty pleasure names.

What are yours?

Pretty much all the names I like are unusual

Like Tittywhistles and Fireoverbabylon I love some of the african names, precious and treasure I think are beautiful. And FOB, it's so cool you like Grayling

Oh and Hester, iseendust you just reminded me

I loved ptolemy , but DH vetoed it big style . I also loved Arlo for a boy . Not so good on girls names , only have the one DD and she has an unusual name , but i cant tell you as it will totally out me !

I love Philomene, Aphra or Boheme.

Thaddeus, Matthias, Rudyard, Zephyr, Harold or Clovis or Aristide, or Anatole, or Basil.. Endless list for boys.

Nah! Go for it. Plus you get to read him a cool story about a little boy's lovely relationship with his grandma.

Never heard it as an English nickname for Edward though - I just presumed it was African.

YY to 'virtue' names - I used to get the same train to work every morning along with a woman, I think Nigerian, taking her DDs to school - they were Precious, Prize and Treasure. I used to hear some people sniggering, but I think they're lovely things to call your children

Sorry my last post was for birdofthenorth. There were suddenly loads of posts added whilst I was typing and my random Nah! post didn't make sense any more as it didn't follow on from hers.

note to self - not only typing to one person but lots.....

I like Hebrew names as well - Rivkeh and Rocheleh for a girl; Aryeh, Levi and Asher for boys.
Also like Zora and Jelena for girls.
None of these (with possible exception of Jelena) would work even slightly with my surname though...

Kestley for a girl. It is a bit wrong but very right. Would never ever use it though.

Oh yes to Clover, it is beautiful, my love for its stems from the wonderful Clover Carr. Husband thinks it sounds like a cow name, so was a no no for our dc.

Jeremiah, Jem for short. Love it.

Cloedi
Hannelore (German name, not common in UK)
Sorrel (don't know if it's suddenly become popular?)
Dagmar
Hilaire
Makepeace, Loveday
Jorma
Arabia
Hedda
Waldemar
Cobalt
Lomax
Lothar

I have a list of names saved in My Documents, so I've just had a quick look and pinched the most uncommon ones I know it's long!

I love Isolde for a girl.
Also really love Wolfgang.

Anahita for a girl (Persian goddess of heavenly and earthly waters)

DD would be a Roxanne if it had gone with our last name

Ariel for a boy (totally impossible in UK and Europe due to the laundry detergent)

DD voted my down on "Gustav" as a middle name for DS, sadly - still love that name.

Hypatia. Although she met a sticky end.

I like Smith for a boy (am having a girl though and DH vetoed unsuprisingly)

Don't know why but love it also love Cougar Town

Wilona, for a girl. It's old English for 'desperately wanted'

Raphael for a boy

Wolf

Halcyon for a girl.

Kit for a boy.

I'm really loving loads of the names from 'Game of Thrones' at the moment.

Daenerys, Cersei, Arya for girls

Theon, Tyrion for boys.

I like alot of classical Greek names. DDs name is Greek but not unusual. Although we did consider Athena.

Other favourites are

Héloïse, Quinn (I don't normally like surname as first name names but really like this one) Estrella (which I think is Spanish for star?)

Hector, Montgomery (which I may use if I ever have a boy & DH lets me) Otto, Arlo & Tighe.

Dylan. For a girl. Love it!

I figure nobody asks Cameron Diaz why she has a boys' name, or Dylan Lauren for that matter.

oooh me too bebe! Also Eddard and Sansa.

Also loved Lachlan for a boy and Lincoln but will push for those when we have next DC!

Taliesin- my most favourite name.

Oh yes! Heloise and Abelard. Lovely.

Used to be obsessed with the name Bellatrix. Don't know why. Would probably be pretty evil of me. So I called my cat Bellatrix instead!
