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?

I love Nemesis

If I had known how popular my DDs name would become 5 years after she was born, I would have gone for Elke.

Yvaine. I think it means Morning Star.

Names of people my age:
Benedicta, Cyrena, Nonie, Oriel, Brandy, Anouska, Mikka, Dion

Names of people around the same age as the DC:
Athena, Ophelia, Jenadine, Cliona, Hebe

I've only ever met one Josanne. I think it's really pretty and she is utterly fab! P

Alice Cooper's daughter is called Calico. I think that's a great name.

Most unususl given name I have come across is Liguanae (Li Gah Knee) .

I know a little boy called Silver (parents are Estonian). I actually think it's a fab name for a girl or a boy!

Yvaine was indeed used as if it meant Morning Star in a novel. But it's probably the female form of Yvain, a male name which is a version of Eugene, which is Greek and means 'well-born'. Or else it's based on a Celtic name (various versions) that means 'young man'.

Persephone? Per-seph-on-ee

Boo (not short for anything).

Yes leoandBoosmum :)

Plain hunting - I met somebody call Boo once, again not short for anything.

I know a Boo that isn't short for anything,, but that's because it isn't his real name...

AliaMairns how do you pronounce the a in your name?

Gundreda

The most unusual names I have heard recently are Dali, Rothko, Neon, Platinum, Jim-Boy and Kalel (Superman's real name).

Some of these names are fab, I absolutely love love love Zia have already mentioned to DH but he's not keen.
There's only one of my name an daughter that I know of so far so not much chance of either of us meeting another. I'm not so fussed it has to be 'exclusive' but do like something a bit different that is individual to the person. You guys have come up with some fab ideas gonna run them past DH now x

You can download the baby name statistics for any given year and at the bottom of the list are the least popular names, which were each given to only one or two babies in that year. That might be good for inspiration?

Unfortunately I don't think they are included in the UK statistics - the minimum is three, as far as I recall.

The Scottish stats give you every name not just 3 and above

that's if we are still considered part of the UK....

I only know one of:
Lettice
Eartha
Trilby
Lilla
Azura

Ayanna
Amara

Clason
Blue

It's sad that "Jonquil" is being semi mocked. I think it's a lovely name (it means daffodil in french).

The only problem is with pronunciation - it sounds much nicer as "jeon-kee" (like the french say it) than it does as "John-quill".....

Also, please never, ever under any circumstances (unless you are Greek and live in Greece I guess) call a child "Antigone". You know the "Oedipus complex"? Well "Antigone complex" is also a thing.

Please go for Daenarys, Sansa or Khaleesi

Otherwise watch episodes of the rather bizarre tv show 'Toddlers and Tiaras'. Some names I've seen on there (girls) are: Jaigen, Damitriana, Alaska, Kragen, Queen, Makinly
