If we're doing flower/tree/nature names, how about Tilia (lime tree)?

ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe · 09/03/2017 13:22

You can't have a "very" unique name, the same way you cannot have a more or less unique something.

It's either unique or it's not.

For it to me unique you have to make it up, because if someone somewhere has used it, then it's unique anymore.

Linnea?

Not unpopular in Sweden and it's also a botanical name.

user1483699375 · 09/03/2017 15:18

I want to have another baby (girl only) so I can use these names.
Current faves are Meredith Persephone and Raphaella Minerva....

CLARYLS, I've been contributing to your thread.
So glad that you like Magnolia 😄⭐️

ClaryIsTheBest · 09/03/2017 18:22

Yes, you really have. I'm reading the suggestions on other threads for girl's names inspiration... ;)!!

Well, it's a lovely name. And the flowers are beautiful. And DD's middle name is already a flower (but in Swedish). So, that would really work :)!!!

Oiboiblxnk = unique Wink

Anchoret - really genuinely quite rare and little used.

reuset · 10/03/2017 01:03

Magnolia is beautiful

A shame the paint isn't Grin

Can anyone explain to me why they want a unique name for their child?
I am sure I read someone here who choose an unusual name for their child and then found two others in their class at school with that name.
So if your criteria for picking a name includes it being unique, what will you do if you find it isn't unique, rename your child?

RuthB4 · 10/03/2017 06:09

00100001, Erena is a real name! Grin

phoebe2016 · 10/03/2017 06:34

My DD is called Janaya and i have not come across another one so far, in the UK.

ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe · 10/03/2017 07:02

So that's Janaya off the list then, there's already at least one.
Grin

phoebe2016 · 10/03/2017 08:37

Lmao Chardonnay! Grin

00100001 · 10/03/2017 08:45

ruth I'll changeit to Erenya then Grin

ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe · 10/03/2017 08:48

It's very pretty, though, Phoebe.

Purplebluebird · 10/03/2017 08:58

Iselin :)

Fruitcocktail6 · 10/03/2017 09:17

Are we ignoring the fact that someone on the first page suggested mimosa?

Pencilvester · 10/03/2017 10:33

Can anyone explain to me why they want a unique name for their child?

I am interested to find out, too. I love unusual names, but unique is another story entirely. It seems quite lordly and high-handed to want your child to be the only person on Earth with that name.

phoebe2016 · 10/03/2017 10:34

Thank you Chardonnay.

ClaryIsTheBest · 10/03/2017 10:52

Not sure... I mean genuinely unique? That has to be a made up name...

DD is already unique, there's no need for a name that emphasises this :)

But I also like slightly unpopular names.

OhDearToby · 10/03/2017 12:20

My parents gave me a unique name (at the time anyway, it's quite popular now). There were only two babies in Scotland given the name the year I was born. One was me and one was my classmate at my very small rural primary school Grin
