Looking for names which you have 'heard' off but aren't commonly used and are unlikely to become faddy or overused.

Just for fun really

Names which you have heard off, yet aren't popular.

ie: Posy and Kit

Sally and Jethro

Marina and Rex

Rafe and Fabian

Antonia and Fabian

unfortunately one cannot predict popularity or fad
years ago the current top of pops names were old lady not used names

Jethro
Kester
Gavin
Rex

Petrina
Annis
Jessamy
Mariana

Zebedee and Corinne

Maria. Such a beautiful name but so uncommon in babies!

Gabriella and Rollo.

I predict Fabian as the next big thing based on the posts above

Gabriella - lovely but tons of Gabrielles around ATM.
Rex - I love it, but I think it's up and coming.
Love Mariana and Jethro out of this list. (although it's a bit farmerish)

Giselle

Dilys
Edmund

This is very true scottish however I can't see names like Rex or Casper becoming as popular as say Archie or Harry but then I could be wrong

Sholto

Willa

I know a 4 yr old Fabian. I think Steve, dave, Simon, Paul, Amanda, Linda- none of those in the last 40 years!

Lenoard
Caspian
River

Ruth
Karen
Jennifer
Angela
Amanda
all the 60s names!

Tanya
Brenda
Colin
Brian

Kirsty
Kimberley
Helen
Mark
Ian
Stanley

kirsty is popular Scottish name
like it btw

Sally
Christine
Lorna
Mary

Christopher
Jeff
Scott

All are known but not overused names that no-one would say "pardon? to. Or maybe they are just all 70s. [Confused] I can't decide.

Some of the names on here are very widely used - I know loads and loads of Amandas, Marks and Sallys!

How about

Tristan
Scott
Thor
Aurora
Uma

I love love love Posy but it was vetoed by DS. I taught a primary school class with 4 Christophers recently.

I can't decide if the lists of girls' names reminds me more of the cast list of The Archers or the Upper Fourth at Malory Towers....
