What's the most unusual name?

[zen1980]

Just that really our LIttle girl has a really unusual name, so much so you would struggle to find someone else with the name. I also have an unusual name and would like something completely different for our new addition who too is a girl.
What's the most unusual girls name you have heard or can suggest?

Myfanwy

Gwendolyn

Do you mean unusual-classic or unusual-completely made up?

Both psippsina x

Matya

I know a lovely woman named Amna. She is Indian so it may be more common there but I've never met another and I think it's a gorgeous name

Celery

Ignoring the 'trying too hard' vibe, which IMHO is a real danger:

Vibeke (say Viveka) German, but not common over here

Marsaili (the Scottish gaelic for Marjorie)

Mariota (medieval)

Eluned (say Elinnet)

Rosmerta (Celtic goddess)

There are others, but I think if you want to be really unique (why?) then that's got to be up to you ...

If you want to be unique it's scrabble pieces time.

Sure I could reel off some of the off beaten track names... But, why not just make a list of name you like, and/or your partner if you have one, look up popularity in the stats and records, and choose the most unusual.

Though I don't 'get' the desire for unusual names just for the sake of it, personally.

Our little girl couldn't suit her name more an everyone says how lovely it is an couldn't of been more well matched to her. What I personally don't like is when you tell someone a 'known' name that you have thought of eg our name for this baby for a long time was Darcie, and they say oh I know such and such a body has a Darcie... Personal choice as I say and the name we have at the moment is not completely unusual and would be happy with it. Just wanted to see if there were any other suggestions out there.

Chiana (female character from farscape)

Sorrel, yes like the herb. Was a character in a book, but I've never come across someone called that in real life. But I think its lovely.

This gives some really interesting Medieval girls names that might be worth a look.

Sexburga.

Sexburga (pissing myself!). Sorry. I'll go away.

Ludmilla
Rivka
Charis

3 random names off the top of my head that are uncommon in the UK (I think).

Do you want to go for something like a Japanese name? Or a Native American one?

I've never met anyone with my name, Talia

Oh no! I was just about to post Sexburga but now it appears its not so unusual at all.

Only joking! But it is my favourite ever EVER name mentioned on here. Thank you so much I am skitting laughing here.

My DH wanted to call our DD

Vaila
Galactica
Xenia

sadly I vetoed them all

Xariah (girl)
Talon (boy)
I also know a little girl called Persephone, they call her seffy for short.

I know girls called Honey, Ixia, Juniper, Kezia and Olympia.

But these days names like Alison, Janet, Joyce, Pamela and Susan would be equally uncommon.

I shall put some to dh in a bit I like Xenia x

I love Xenia.

How about:

Albertine
Liberty
Eirill
Marcella

I came across a little Loveday a month or so ago. The only other place I've ever even heard of the name Loveday was in the Chalet School books.

Abishag. Very unusual biblical female name.

I used to know a Sorrel. Gorgeous name.

I've known an Autumn. Really really pretty name. Suited her down to the ground.

I currently know a baby girl "Legacy"
