Hi all,
I'm 20 weeks pregnant and we found out at the scan this week we're having a little girl! We're over the moon and so excited as we already have a little boy so will be lovely to have one of each.
We named our son Daley as we wanted something unusual which we're unlikely to come across when he goes to school etc. We absolutely love the name and it's perfect for him.
We want an equally unusual name for our little girl, but a beautiful and either girly or American-sounding name if possible. We had Leia at the top of our list last time if we were having a girl but I'm not 100% on it anymore. We have a few other names we like but can't really agree on one together and don't feel as though we've found 'the one' yet.
Any suggestions welcome please - something unusual and pretty.
Thank you! xx

I love the name Esme which means loved and esteemed. It's traditional yet rarely used now.

I used to know a woman called Rodney.

I wish I had a daughter called Rodney.

Is the op ever coming back?

You can check how many babies were given a specific name since 1996:
England & Wales baby names:
names.darkgreener.com/

There are about 100 of my DDs name every year, and 20 of mine. I'm sure there is another web site like this that goes back further in time but I can't find it in my bookmarks...

Hushabyelullaby · 31/05/2017 18:38

wow my DD was one of 34 babies with her name in the year she was born. It's addictive!

Come back OP, did you like anything suggested?
