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?

Amaris
Tamar
Zelma

In Scotland there used to be a big tradition of naming the first child after the father regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl. If it was a girl they just added -ina on the end, some more succesfully than others e.g. Georgina. Consequently there are a lot of elderly woman with names such as:

Johnina
Donaldina
Duncanina
Hughina

you could give it a go :o

No you cannot use Xenia. She is a Mumsnet legend. Every time you meet anyone who is on MN they will crack up

It's like calling a baby Mitmoo.

Or Titsalina.

Sonoi

Angeli

Greta

Imelza
Tiandra
Tauria
Calypso
Cassiopea

Sexburga!!! Cackling away here.

I know a sorrell, not out there but I like Isolde a lot and never met one,

Linnet
Berengaria
Adeliza
Thirza
Ebba

You simply have to use thirza - in honour of my godmother-auntie ( and dd2).

Or jonquil - who I knew as a child and who produces for the bbc now

The name I was drawn to in the cemetery when looking for names for dd1 was hephzibah but I wasn't brave enough.

Severine
Polette
Stanislava (feminine of Stanley)
Philomena

All being the names of relatives

Antigone
Andromeda
Huigenia
Isadora
Iphigenia
Emerald
Dido
Magella
Topaz

If you like Xenia, then how about Zinnia?

There was a Domino at our school.

Ereen
Samilia
Samika
Tiara
Karisha

My cousin's wife is called Cinnamon. So beautiful! Her siblings also have gorgeous names and are called Pip, Candy and Suki.

These are all names that I have only ever known one 'owner' of:

Angelica, Athene, Mala, Mika, Rivkah, Tree(!), Rainbow, Jonquil, Ophelia, Nyah, Zia, Zillah, Bunty, Sapheena, Keziah, Calista, Celest, Cecily, Cherry, Ria, Lorelai, Larissa, Leandra, Mishalee, Carlene, Ailsa, Aisling, Eilidh, Morvern, Sybil, Lindy, Elianne, Elina, Karizma, Neriah, Katinka, Karenza, Tamika, Verity, Ida, Mei, Caoimhe, Adrielle, Joelle, Kyah, Arianne, Tuuli, Rolake, Colette, Bhamini, Lixia, Erica, Li, Clementine, Comfort, Meri, Natalia, Mercy, Melody, Tatiane, Crisleine, Christabel, Jessalynn, Hezekiah, Roka, Zipporah, Christiana

My friend's DD has an unusual name. I hadn't even heard it before.

Now DD has a girl of the same name in her class.

I have a pretty unusual name too, but at work there were two of us in a department of 6. I'd never met anyone with the same name as me before.

So don't go for unusual for the sake of it, or you'll be gutted if you meet another .

Or Ziona? Similar to Xenia, and very nice/ unusual.

manic It is probably very different where you live but Eilidh and Morvern are popular 'everyday' names here in Scotland - I know several of each.

Hezekiah is the name of a famously strong and forceful Jewish King in the Old Testament....

OP - will you say anything if someone mentions your name??? :)

Kerenhappuch. Biblical, one of Job's daughters.

Only ones of their name I know:

Melisande (aka Millie)
Krystal-Pebbles (yes, with a K)
Torey (a boy)
Hedley (boy)
Aurora
Suli
Topper

Love Bathsheba

Also heard of a Hebe

I once met a Glayne which I rather liked.

TOPPER??
