What potential quirky baby names could I call my potential DD?

[greenfluffysocks]

Hi all, I'm a teen who is currently expecting. My baby reveal is in a few months and although I'm fixed on calling my potential DS Matthew, like his father, I have no idea what to call my potential DD! But I want it to be creative and quirky, any ideas?
So far I've got :

• Oceania
• Arielle-Sky

-Asia-Mae

Haha yes the sticky floors bring back memories!

What about giving her the very grown up name of Emmeline (in honour of E Pankhurst since its 100 years since women got the vote), but you can call her the cute and quirky nickname Emmy-Lee?

Don't do it OP, I had my first when I was a teen and I'm so glad he was a boy as our "quirky" girls names were absolutely awful in hindsight! I blame the hormones 😂

As others have said I'd avoid the hyphenated Mae as it's hugely overused, but it's fine as a run of the mill middle name.

How about Raeya, Adrienne, Anaya, Leila, Zara, Xanthe, Carmen, Enya or Penelope (Penny)?

If you’re looking for unusual...

There are 5 Something-Mae’s at my daughter’s fairly small pre school.

Zelda. It's an amazing name.

Linnet is absolutely gorgeous, but please stay away from hyphenated names, there's nothing exotic and about those anymore...

I know an Electra who owns her name Well, works in fashion etc.

It's a fab name but I do think we have to be careful not to go too 'out there'. The Electra I know was lucky, she wears it Well.........but gay, dumpy, grey haired me in my granny caddie wouldn't wear the Electra dress anywhere near as well as the willowy blonde, trend leading fashion designer I know. 🤔

God knows where 'gay' came from. 🤔

I'm not gay. I am however gay, itbeas meant to say fat.......my skinny person is obviously trying to get out today 🤔

Tabitha is a good name.

Cutesy Tabby during childhood merges well into Dr Tabitha Jones or whatever.

Oceania is the name of a chain of nightclubs.

Adidasgirl, as many of us have mentioned upthread. Did you have a local one too?

I agree hyphenated names are really not quirky at all. Very over-used.

I agree Linnet is lush. Along with plenty others mentioned on this thread, however has the OP even been back?

Agree that Asia-Mae is awful. Awful awful awful.
Anything hyphenated is seen as lowerclass OP, not original.
What about:
Girl: Matilda, Aphra, Opal

Boy:
Rufus, Rudy, Otis

Persephone is nice.
Athena
Skye
Winter

Saphire
Emerald
Jasper, phoenix, jarrah (for a boy)
Jade
Indigo
Aliah

And I have loved Linnet ever since I read 'the Children of Green Knowe'

Cleodie
Anemone
Cassidy
Juno
Katya
Lilah
Skylar
Willa
Gaia
Hebe
Indigo

Coco I have a Pearl and love the name. She, however, wishes we had chosen Margot.
Therefore:

Pearl
Margot

I like Oceania and Asia. I would avoid the hyphen Mae because you’d be defeating your objective to choose a quirky name, Lily-Maes, Lola-Maes etc are everywhere.

I don’t like Arielle spelt like that. Ariel is nice.

I also love quirky names. Because you’re asking people with annonymous usernames to give their opinions, you’re likely to be given ‘they’re awful’ responses. You’re unlikely to receive these responses in real life...so go for your quirky name, don’t let anything discourage you or you’ll be living a lifetime of name regret.

• Oceania - no. It's too much.
• Arielle-Sky ditch the hyphen

-Asia-Mae - no. it's truly awful.

Ariel is a boy's name. Persil is French for parsley. Daz is short for Darren. Other laundry products could be inspiration for a name.
Lenore, perhaps?

Fleur

Aderyn is just the welsh word for bird. It's no more suitable as a name than Bird.

My Dd is Delphi. Never met another one and always get comments on how pretty and unusual her name is. She's 8 months old now and I still love it as much as I did when I first heard the name

Fleur is lovely.
