Word Names, non mainstream

[Interrobang]

I think we have decided on our forthcoming baby's name, but in case I have overlooked something, I am keen to hear any unusual but usable word name names. Not the mainstream ones like Grace, Lily, Ruby, Jasper, Matt and Johnny, but the less pedestrian - e.g. Sailor, Cadence, Calypso, Journey, Phoenix etc.

Boys and Girls please!

Indigo?

Wow, soph, fabulous list. I already have some of those on my list. Not sure they are all truly wearable though.

I also know kids called Chase and Indigo - am not that unusual wanting an unusual name word for my child, it seems!

Rebel Wilson has siblings called Ryot, Annachi and Liberty....not sure about the spellings....

No Meredith isn't but suggested Merrily as an alternative. I love both

I wouldn't go for Unity I'm afraid - Unity Mitford is much too much of a troubled & unhappy person for that name to have a very happy history...otherwise it would be very cool.

Pepper

Blythe. But we've got our eye on that one!

Surely Endeavour's nickname would be Morse. Which is a word too. Morse's nn could be Cody.

Outraged, I love those names! :) What cool parents!

Robert Rodriguez and Elizabeth Avellan have coolly named kids: Rocket, Racer, Rebel and Rogue, and, er, Rhiannon (not sure why she missed out!).

Pharrell also has a Rocket. I like it! And Rocky is a great nn.

marshmallows, sorry, so you did. I like Merrily a lot!

Pepper - too piggy.

Lol, choc, my brain was working towards that too! Morse and Cody are great NNs!

I met a girl called Story once. I thought it was odd at first but it grew on me.

Storm

Poor Rhiannon!

Story is super imo

Wolf
Woody
Oak
Rowan
Tiger
Indigo

Hope
Patience
Blessed
Velvet

Alice Cooper has a daughter called Calico which I rather like.

Oh, I used to teach a girl called Song

Summer
Autumn

Griffin

I know, right - poor Rhiannon indeed!

I know a Story - very unusual - I wonder if it is the same one (my friend's one is three.)

The blogger Girls Gone Child has a Fable - I love that. And a Reverie, and a Boheme. My kind of vibe. I did want Bohemia, but DH wasn't all for it.

LOVE Wolf (DH knows an adult one, German, officially Wolfgang).
We also know an adult Oak! And a young Oakley.

These names are great!

Oh Velvet is very cool - Velvet Brown from National Velvet. Loved that book growing up.

As well as Summer and Autumn, I know a Winter. I think (personally) you should only use them for a child born in that season. Is that just me? Would it be weird to be a Summer born in February?

No 47 Bus Shelter

I've got DH involved and he suggested Providence.

Is No 47 Bus Shelter for a girl or a boy?

Oh either, I reckon, it's ambisexual!
