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.

'Navy' might be Nevaeh (Heaven backwards). I met a little girl introduced as Navy which I thought was rather quirky and cool, then realised the spelling and liked it rather less.

But isn't Nevaeh pronounced Nev-ay-ah? Happy to stand corrected!

These threads sound increasingly like cat names to me the more I read them lolConfusedGrin

I know a Pandora, a Kingston, a Delilah and a Nao. And a Noa, oddly.

I know a young Thor, hippy mum and Norwegian dad.
It suits him, thankfully he's not like his namesake.

Met a D'arby and a Bracken recently.

Paula pronounced Pow-la is how they say it in Spain and Italy.

@boo1507 I have a Pandora, maybe we know each other Grin

@Astheflamesrosetoherromannose

Love that you have a Pandora! Me and DP wanted to use it for our daughter but I'm glad we didn't as it wouldn't have suited her in the end. We loved the idea of the nickname Panda Smile

I really liked Serenity, Lorelei or Minna for our DD but DH wasn’t keen on any of them.

Kintan · 10/06/2018 11:18

There’s a Hebe at my son’s nursery.

QueJamones · 29/06/2018 13:30

Just seen responses - Pebbles not a nickname (was in doctor's surgery and she was a young adult).

slovenlys · 29/06/2018 13:37

I used to know a baby Zozie.

Talith · 29/06/2018 14:21

Thinking about it I think it was actually Zosia...

I know girls called Fawn, Honey, Ixia, Malin, Olympia and Serra (and one with the middle name Gerrardine - her farther is a massive Liverpool fan).
