Class-less, unpretentious but fun and unique names

[cremedecacao]

Discussing names with DH earlier. Either sex. We are fussy... these are the qualities we both agree on!

I love Georgia but DH reminded me that some would pronounce as 'Jaw-jah' and that really put me off!

Quite like androgynous names too- Charley, Alex etc.

Ideas?!

I know a Tomasin - Tommie /Tom for short.

I just always think of Ray Charles singing Georgia On My Mind

It's a tough call, better

Reckon the OP nailed it with Elliot - it's got a bit of polish.

Cassidy? Was boys name now girls.

My never-got-to-use girl's name is Bobby, short for Roberta, also like Jenny, from Jennifer or even Imogen.

Stevie, as in Stevie Nicks
Alfie is sometimes used as a girl's name
Jeanie
Or call her Georgia but nn George.

Frieda
Agatha
Piper

I love unisex names for girls.
DD1 has a unisex name and am currently expecting Dd2, am finding it difficult to find another girls name that matches well.
Suggestions so far have been,
Alexandra - Alex
Leah - Lee
Harriet - Harry
Ashleigh -Ash or Leigh
Bernadette - Bernie love this, but am completely alone
Francesca - Frankie
Robin
Sydney

Wait, how is Georgia pronounced? (I thought it was similar to "jaw-juh" (or rather George-uh)).

Anyway, for a list of names how about:

Girls:

Hannah
Holly
Tessa
Nicole
Florence
Gemma
Leah
Eva
Lauren
Anna

Boys:

Ethan
Thomas
Douglas
Nathan/Nathaniel
Elliot
Ben (or Benjamin)

Androgynous/Unisex

Matt/Mattie (from Matilda/Mathilda or Matthew/Mathew)
Madison
Charlie/Charley (from Charlotte or Charles)
Dan/Danny (from Danielle/Daniella or Daniel)
Tom/Tommy/Tommie (from Thomasin/Thomasina or Thomas/Thompson)
Alex (from Alexandra or Alexander)
Dene/Dean (from Claudine or Dean)
Sam/Sammy (From Samantha or Samuel)
Harry (Harriet/Harriette or Harry/Henry/Harrison/Harold)
Jo/Joe (Joanna/Joanne/Josephine/Josephina or Joseph)
Ellen/Allen
Jack/Jacky/Jacqui (from Jacqui/Jaqueline or Jackson/Jack/John)
George/Georgie (from Georgia/Georgina/Georgiana or George)
Andy (from Andrea or Andrew/Andrea)
Cas (from Cassidy/Cassandra or Casper/Caspian/Case/Casey)
Vic/Vicky (Victoria or Victor)
Steph (Stephanie/Stefanie or Stephen/Steven)

My favourite for unisex nicknames is Joe/Jo. It's obvious if it's a girl or a boy written down but said out loud it's not clear, and Jojo or Joey it cute too.

I'm confused over the Georgia thing?

I'm trying to say it in my head but because I'm concentrating on how I pronounce it, its garbled!

I've heard it pronounced George Ja and George Ah.

OP I know a Gia - would it fit your criteria?

RIGHT! The Georgia thing... basically we have family in Essex and I don't like the way Georgia is pronounced in that accent. I didn't want to admit that so I tried to explain it but clearly couldn't! Sorry if I have offended anyone!!!

Surf, there are lots of Georgia songs, that is a big part of the attraction.

Great suggestions- Pants, I like Bernie too!

I also like Stevie and Jeanie. Is Stevie short for anything?

I have Dsis Billie and DSis Charlie.

In 18 years I'm yet to come across another female Billie.

DSis Billie is an identical twin to Annie, just throwing that in the mix.

I know a girl called Ellis, only saw it as a boys name before but it really really suits her!

Billie Piper

I can see Ellis as a girls name. I like Erin too but I know a baby Erin already.

That reminds me I also know of a girl called Innes (Innes not Ines) which I think is fab.

Vita

Stevie (for a girl) is short for Stephanie. Or you can have Steph.

I know a lady in her 70s who is called Ellis, and it really suits her too.

Elliot just makes me think of ET going "Eh-lee-ott"!!!

More unisex names:

Lindsay (and all variant spellings)
Julian
Leslie/Lesley
Ashley/Ashleigh
Hilary
Jude

You might also like Morven, Vashti or Meryl for a girl, or Conrad for a boy.

I actually love androgynous names. How about:

Lee/Leigh
Blair
Blaine
Sloane
Fallon-no one I know ever likes this, but I totally do.

Willa for a girl, even sounds okay in an Essex-y accent!
Jem, short for Jemima?
