Unusual but not weird names

[Cantmakemymind]

Still searching for names. We would like something that isn't popular and unlikely to be in school with another. But nothing too weird that we spend the whole time telling people how to spell it/ pronounce it etc..

don’t *

Humphrey is cool. Humph. Umf. Humpty?
Tiggy could be short for Antigone or anything.
Tiggy Legge-Bourke is an Alexandra.

John is a fabulous name. I think both Janet and Susan are due a comeback - very old English names, versions of Jane and Susannah. Not sure about Kevin yet.
Tiggy can be short for Antigone.

Boy: Isaiah, Xavier, Zander, Hugo,

Girl: Delaney, Violet, Sierra (although this one makes me personally think of a certain America soda.)

Brooke
Clare
Rose

American*

How about Pom as a nn for Humphrey?

Anna
Emma

Adaline
Antonia
Karenza
Kezia

Hector
Hamish
Lachlan
Kier
Gregor

I knew a Tiggy whose real name was Katrina. I also new one who was very secretive about her real name which turned to be Petunia and Tiggy was a derivation of Piggy after Petunia Pig.

Or "Phrey" pronounced "fray" as a nn for Humphrey? X

Dinah
Dorothy
Luciana
Gaia
Veronica
Elodie
Angela

Jolyon
Edgar
Alistair
Fergus

Magnus

I really like Leta :)

I knew an Elizabeth nn Tiggy.
What about Tegan?

I really like the name Tamara.

Sophocles' tragedy Antigone is one of the greatest works of literature ever written. Nobody would ever have given her an ootsy cutesey nickname like Tiggy!

Not the original Antigone, true! But I know an Antigone with Tiggy as a nickname - because she didn't like Antigone.

Thora
Cassia
Ottilie
Caia

Beckett
Samson
Wyatt
Cormac

I like Ottilie, never hear that one before!
Plus Ottie for nn is lovely.

How is Antigone pronounced? Anti-gone?

An-tig-gon-e I think.

Marioki Clive!! That’s unpopular for a good reason

Ann-tig-ə-nee :)

But I've always that An-ti-gə-nee would make more sense, tbh..

Barnaby
Percival
Ephraim
Clarence
Ferdinand
Leopold
Dashiell

Viola
Sybil
Talitha
Noelle
Juliana
Odette
Juniper

I know a Tiegan shortened to Tiggy, I really like it hence my suggestion up thread xx

Ottilie is likely to be a lot more popular than you think. God knows why. It just makes me think of Otters or Otterly Botterly. I like Tiggy as short for Tegan.

Herbert
Linden

Boudicca/Boadicea
Samira

Vera. I'm not allowed it so you can have it (bitter and sulking!)
