Any recent unusual girls' names?

We're done. But now I'm just curious about girls' names instead. Come across any uncommon or unusual but not weird names recently? There was a baby Hilla in hospital (mother was Finnish, I think?) I had to ask twice, but it has grown on me.

I know a new baby Mona. It isn't growing on me.

A Finnish girl I know is Taina , which I think is pretty.

Kelda
Aquamarine
Ramona
Suki

I hesitate to add I don’t know these folk but have heard these names are examples of real life infant monikers of late.

I met a Velvet too Val! And a Frith.

QueJamones · 01/06/2018 01:14

Heard a 'Pebbles' recently... I was like this Hmm

ABCFamily · 01/06/2018 07:39

I met a toddler called Paula (pronounced Pow-la) the other day. Not an unusual name in itself, but unexpected on a little girl.

Flamingosnbears · 01/06/2018 08:00

Pebbles is probably a nickname.... Hopefully anyway.

ButterflyOfFreedom · 01/06/2018 08:01

I like Ramona!

I heard of a Bambi recently.

TheIsland · 01/06/2018 08:04

Tulip
Clementina

Cosmoa · 01/06/2018 08:32

Iza... Not sure on spelling but it was pronounced eye-zah

user1485182339 · 01/06/2018 09:16

Bambi? Pebbles? 🤔
I know two Paula's!
Velvet might grow on me, but it does sound a bit uhm, adult.

I recently met a Tigerlily - and she suits it surprisingly well! Now because of her I really like it

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 01/06/2018 09:48

VanGoghsLeftEar · 01/06/2018 11:52

Working on the Tube you often hear new names from parents. One I liked recently was Soraya. (Sore-eye-a)

Mrsknackered · 01/06/2018 12:12

I know a new born baby Navy. I like the sound of it but I don’t like that it’s like ‘the navy’

I know a nearly 2 year old called Bamboo.

I’ve seen baby Gravity and a Chilli-Rose on instagram.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 01/06/2018 13:46

I really like Navy, never heard of anyone with that name before, was it a baby girl ?

user1471605190 · 01/06/2018 13:50

My colleague has a daughter called Pebbles, it's her actual name.

pallisers · 01/06/2018 13:55

I know a 4 year old Mary too - highly unusual these days.

Kocerhan3 · 01/06/2018 15:45
