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?

Lorellei

lol - didn't say i didn't like it lol - but they were handing out free mugs if you'd like a personalised present for your imaginary daughter :o

addison for a boy

I like Bryeses, Fuschia, Allegra and Rhapsody for a girl and Caspian, Theseus, Grayson and Athos for a boy.

I like the African based names too, I knew someone who had a daughter called Praise, I think the connotations of the names are just lovely.
Clemecy was mentioned up thread, a really sophisticated and elegant name imo. I liked Rosaline for a girl when pg with ds2 but DH has quite conventional tastes so vetoed

God help some of these kids in the playground!!

I'd love to go for a literary name, maybe something Shakespearean like Ophelia or Imogen, or Sylvia (Plath!) or Beatrice (Dante's Inferno) or I love that Leonard Cohen called his daughter Lorca, another poet I really love. I even kind of like Marilla (from Anne of Green Gables). The only literary one that might make the jump from in my head into real life is Simone (as in Simone de Beauvoir or Nina Simone) - and even then, probably as a middle name!

Ah, us English lit graduates with our romantic notions

Lovin some of the names on this thread so far!!

Ooh yes, both dh and I like Lorelei, but not sure if we'd have the guts to actually go for it irl...

I love Lorelei, like the Cocteau Twins, but I think I've seen too many episodes of the Gilmore Girls now to go with it myself!

Evelyn for a girl and Ruben for a boy. Sadly we are done with making babies so won't be able to use them . Dh had Tabetha and Gretchen on his shortlist (both vetoed!)

Oh, dh's list also had Margaux... (but maybe he just fancied a )

And Cordelia (dh had a long list that I vetoed.... )

Magnus & Wilbur

Hebe & Posy

None really outlandish, but got vetoed.

Love Posy! Reminds me of Noel Streatfield!

My DDs' middle names are Ophelia & Miranda (another English graduate here...) I wish I'd gone for them for first names. I'm sure DH would have agreed, as long as I timed the request tactically.

saschamiles we are planning on naming DD Artemis, nn Missy. She's due in October.

Whoever suggested Jackson, this is most certainly a surname and a very good one at that....

I like Malachi (not sure I've spelled it right) but we have zero connections to Ireland so would be weird!

Loveday is beautiful, as is Clovis. Also like Magnus for a boy.

mindyourown I am very sorry you lost your Saul.

DS's name is on here, I've seen it before too on a ' names you wish you'd used' thread.

Makescakes I think my bump might be called Leo if it's a boy, it's the only name DP and I can agree on. I think it's getting quite popular though

I love Bear and Woody

TooImmature you could be me! I always wanted Wolfie for a boy but have 2 DDs.

I like Boris Johnson's choices. I always wanted a Lettice.

I did manage to sneak Loveday in as DD2's middle name!

We have a Magnus. WE both loved as did our families. I've not met any others yet. I wish now we had called our DD Ishbel instead of the very popular variant.

Artemis is lovely, and I love Missy. I also really like Ariadne.

i love
ezra
josiah
megsy
my dd's middle name is bonham [after john bonham led zeppelin]
betsy

My niece is Clotilde. She is French, though.

I love Daffodil (Dilly) for a girl
I have a hankering after Ptolomy for a boy.

Love Greta and Edith
