Unusual girls' names - opinions please.

[MaElsie]

We don't know if we're have a girl or boy, but we do like unusual names. What are your opinions / favourites from this list?
Lorena
Mercy
Inez
Aurora
Tabitha
Honeysuckle
Marigold
Some are more odd than others and some id probably only have the guts to use for a middle name. But it would be good to see what you think. Thank you!

what are you thinking even considering giving your child a name with the word 'suckle' in it

When I hear Lorena I think of Lorena Bobbitt. Marigold is nice.

Inez is pronounced Inn-ez. V common in Spain.

The South American version is Ines (with accent over e) which is pronounced Inn-ess

Just for any doubt about pronunciation.

Ines (rather than Inez). I hate Aurora (sounds so awkward when said aloud). How about Seraphina. Delphine, Sylvie, Eponine, Constanza (shortened to Stanzi...have loved this since seeing 'Amadeus'. Mozart's wife was named this).

Lorena is quite nice
I don't really like Mercy
Aurora is too Harry Potterish
I like Inez, if it's said ee-nez, but we couldn't use it because it's pronounced differently in Portuguese (DH native language) than Spanish and becomes ee-nesh .
Tabitha - Is a bit of a cats name!
Honeysuckle - Bit too plant like for my liking
Marigold - OK-ish, reminds me of an old lady.

So best one for me is Inez (said the Spanish way).

Liking inez alot

I like Aurora. A lot. But its very marmite and will be associated with Disney Princesses.

The others are all not really to my taste to be honest. And Marigold is rubber gloves.

If you have a daughter Primrose what about something like Marguerite or Iris, Delphine, Sorrell or Juniper.

Or Anais instead of Inez.

Aurelia

Margot (Margo) would be nice :)

You don' hear Octavia or Persephone (Percy) an awful lot either.

I like Aurora (rory) but it is a bit disney princess - something that seems similar to me, and is quite unusual I think is Ramona?
I agree with PP that another flowery name may be too much with Primrose, but Tabitha seems to 'go' with it - both long and pretty pretty feminine.

I know a number of Inez's, both Spanish and Portuguese. They are all pronounced Inn-ez. The way you have spelt it phonetically it would be spelt Iñez, using the the "enya" not "ene"

I'd be devo if they had called me Honeysuckle #awkward

Lorena: nice

Mercy: Okay, not a favourite but I don't hate it. It does have some religious connotations though, so maybe avoid unless you are religious or don't mind people thinking you hang the scriptures on your kitchen walls

Inez: This one is fine, makes me think of an intelligent girl.

Aurora: Maybe you're starry-eyed about the similarities to the Disney movie or Aurora Borealis, but if you say the name a few times over in your head, it actually sounds pretty horrible. AUGH ROAR AH!!

Tabitha: This is the best of the bunch. People might associate it with cats but I think its a fairly nice name.

Honeysuckle: what the heck are you thinking, wanting to give a child a name with the word "suck" in it? Vile.

Marigold: Washing up gloves

Love Aurora and Tabitha, not so keen on the rest.
