Your favourite unusual names?

[Yawninghippo]

What are your favourite ones? Boy or girl. Anything out of the top few hundred names.

I'm looking for inspiration! My name tastes run to most things, particularly love anything Italian, pretty girls names, anything nature related or strong boys names. TIA!

Elowyn / Elowen, Emrys and Eden

Some amazing choices here! Keep them coming!

Lowenna
Mimosa
Storm
Josette
Arietty
Autumn
Opal
Regan

Sorry to gatecrash slightly, I love how Ottilie has come up a lot!! I chose that name for DD many many years ago (even though she is only 5), after my great Nan, before it was even on the radar in the UK. So relieved that it is considered in this regard. One happy Mummy here.

Ottilie is beautiful! I love 'O' names, like Odile and Odette. I have an Octavia who goes only by her 2nd middle name, which is a common animal. I wish I'd just chosen that as Octavia is sadly never used at all!
