I am desperate to find an unusual name for our baby (sex unknown). We both like unusual names and as a teacher, I like the idea of a name that no one else in my child class will have.

DH and I simply can't agree. He loves names like Koda for a boy (I hate it) whereas I like names like Huxley, Auden etc. I loved Jenson but is becoming quite popular now.

Girls we simply can't find one we like. I love Paisley and he likes Peyton.

Please just throw names out there, open to anything unusual. I'm aware these probably aren't everyone's cup of tea when it comes to names

Plumber

HuskyMcClusky · 02/12/2017 00:18

^ Ooh, Plumber is pretty.

I only like it for a girl, though.

NewPantsforaNewYear · 02/12/2017 00:53

I like Zita for a girl

lizzieoak · 02/12/2017 01:06

Plumber? As in “I need a plumber to unclog my toilet”?!

A lot of these aren’t very unusual at all. I know several small Ferns and Willows. And three kerensa’s (or variant spellings thereof) in our small non Cornish village alone. Good luck OP, Sod’s law dictates that no matter what name you pick there will be another in your child’s year I think!

Ani
Tarun

Jedigirl29 · 07/01/2018 17:11

Ani for the girl and Tarun for the boy

seizethecuttlefish · 08/01/2018 10:47

I loved Sydney (Syd for short) and Bonne for a girl. Bonne is a family name.
I'm on the hunt for boys names, as I know I'm having a boy.
I used to love Scout for a girl but I think it's been used a lot recently.
