Really stuck on names... Please help!

[MyselfandI123]

Hello :)

I'm pregnant with my first and we do not no the sex. Not due till October but we are really REALLY stuck on names.
Wanting something unusual but pretty for a girl and just something different for a boy.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

Any ideas of style?

Style ideas I Just want something unusual but not weird like North and Apple etc! Problem is all the unusual names are now the common names. I did have Florence and Ruben and have had for years but now they are used a lot I can't use them. I have two friends who have used those names with their children born in the past 2 years. :S very hard

Some good suggestions in there written a few down :)

Emerson
Hugh
Lyall
Lloyd

Vivienne
Lilian
Harriet
Laurel

To be really different, your best bet is to go for names that were popular for your generation or your parents'

For example:

Boys

Stephen
Michael
Paul
Andrew

All lovely names IMO and hardly used on little boys

For girls:

Marion
Mary
Gillian
Sarah
Emma
Vanessa
Flora
Helen

I have never met a little one of any of these, apart from Emma (and only one)

Of the suggested names by OPs above, I know quite a few of:

Tobias
Reuben
Sebastian
Ludo
Willow

Also have a feeling that Daphne may be up-and-coming

so I would suggest avoiding these if popularity is an issue (you've already said it is with the name Reuben)

Enjoy choosing!
