Thats it really! If she was a boy I would have called her Claude/ Casper/ Orlando. All girls names I like are friends daughters so need some I have not heard of!!

Not sure if you are interested in Irish names, but what about Caoimhe (pronounced Keeva), Blathnaid (Blaanad), or Rionach (reenock)??

My dd is a merryn. The year she was born less than 30 babies in the uk were called merryn (some of them boys as it can be a boys name)

Its stayed the same each year since with ouround 30 or less children being called it. So certainly not popular.

Meriel - it means sea sprite and I have only ever met one.

scripsi · 29/06/2013 03:02

Meriel and Merryn are really lovely.

How about Delphine?

Thank you all, some beautiful and unusual names to consider (not sure about virginity Shock! I LoVE Merryn as its one of my best friends names but DH not keen. Also like Florentine, Cirscee? Spelling? Izzabeau though not keen on an Izzy. I had heart set on Willa but DH vetoed :( thanks again though!

I love Severine, Anjou! I'm sure you've heard these before, Hyper, but there's always Ondine ( I know someone called that who goes by Deena), Sanne (pronounced Sanna), Aude, Louison, Francoise (always surprises me this hasn't crossed the pond).
