Harper? Or is that too Beckham for your liking? I think its a lovely name and pretty unusual,I've not yet met a baby Harper and it sounds nice with Finnley :) xx

Some girls names I have heard recently that make me go "weird but I like it...":

Dakota
Adelaide
Skylar
Piper
Sydney
Scout (although I am really not sold on this one)

Names that are more conventional but still not particularly common:

Tess
Honor
Ursula
Sadie
Meredith
Lyra

Love Scout, what about Frances or jaime.

Not keen on Storm, is that from x-men?

Love calliope.

Gaia?

noisytoys · 24/04/2013 22:25

We have a DD called Willow too. Awesome name but it isn't unusual it's very common these days there were 2 on the ward after DD was born and I've met about 100 other Willows since she was born about the same age as her

I'd say Tenley, but it might be a bit odd with a Finnley.

Calliope - the greek muse of epic poetry/means beautiful voice, which will cheer you up at 3am when she's crying, and you could call her Cally for short if you ever want to be less unusual!

Storm is nice. I had to check Slavetothechild wasn't a previous neighbour Grin, as her's was the only child of that name I've known. Named after a character in a book, don't remember the title.

I know a girl called this and it really suits her
