I need hippyish and out there names that won't get my child bullied at school.

[Helpmechooseababyname]

NC because nobody irl knows I'm pregnant yet.

I love hippy and unusual names, but they need to work beyond childhood too.

I have a few that I love like ziggy and cobain and bluebell and chakra but I couldn't use them irl.

Please help.

I know a Zephyrine - a wonderful name!

I know a Storm. She is indeed a 10 year old hippy! The coolest and most popular kid in dd's school.

I prefer your sort of names to more common Kayden/Jayden type names or strange spellings of normal names.

I love Rowan, Willow, Fern, Blossom.
I adore Primrose (Prim) from The Hunger Games films.
Don't like Wolf or Chakra much though!

Oh I love Wolf

Seren (means star in welsh but sounds like serentity - peace)

Bear is a good name also, I really wanted it for ds but dh refused!

Next dc is having it as a middle name for sure

I like Bluebelle.

Astreya or similar as a take on Astrid

Where I live, everybody has an 'out there' name and nobody suffers for it. If it's along the lines of most of the suggestions on this thread it will generally signal good breeding (sorry, too tired to think of a less loaded way to put it) and that the child's parents are educated. I'd rather that than a top 10 boring, bland name. Just a word of caution: steer away from piss-takey hippy names like 'Rainbow' and 'Moonbeam'. If you go there, you've gone too far!

Love Orion, Stellan, Astra, Wolf, Boheme and Seraphina from the lists above

I know a Banquo. Not a very positive choice of Shakespearean name though.

Also know an Orson and a Ptolomey.

Maybe go for rare rather than "hippy". Someone suggested Araminta and Cressida for girls. Both lovely choices.

Coz you're all arseholes thecompany ?

I have a ziggy. Full name Ezekiel. Live in London. It's really no big deal at all!

Middle name Omosola. Also no big deal to have what in the UK is an unusual name. There are so many different cultures where we live noone bats an eyelid.

Reed
Dove (my country had a famous mayor with this name, so 100 percent politics-approved)
Aspen
Denver
Wren
Emery

Added bonus, all are unisex.

I actually do like Star as a name. Some of these names are just lovely, what's on your list op?

"The Sensational Alex Harvey Band version of the song, Imperial. I'm that old, me."

So am I. I saw them perform live many moons ago. It was one of the best gigs I ever went to

My only thoughts are to not have a name that is too difficult to spell.

I have a very unusual name that I hated when I was growing up. I was constantly teased about it, but that was in the days of most girls being called Julie, Debbie, Susan, Sandra etc. It is only four letters long, but no-one could spell it FGS.

I still don't like my name, but I am the only one where I work with that name (the company I work for has over 1000 employees), so it is easy to find me on the work email list.

Most of the names listed are fine. Don't use Bluebell if your surname is Wood as there is a children's hospice called Bluebell Wood and that would just have sad connotations.

Zac sounds 'out there' but totally 'normal' too these days

I dont think Zac sounds 'out there' at all it just sounds dated and try hard. Maybe it was 'out there' c.1975

Zac is in no way 'out there'

DS had a Ziggy at school, his name sounded ridiculous amongst the Jack, George and Toms. Everyone knew who he was and he couldn't have blended in with crowd if he tried. He was never bullied because of his name, just didn't have a chance of being inconspicuous, even if wanted to.

No point bringing up the fact that in the USA they have many more 'unusual' names. Every country has its own type of names and what would be considered normal here would be weird in e.g. China and vice versa.
Call you child what you like but make sure you add a couple of more normal names for when they decide they are fed up with having a weird name.
We have a 'Princess' in our local primary
