Truly Unusual Names

[Sungura]

What are some of the most unusual names you like or love?

My favorite names tend to be of African origin. But my list was eclectic. I had a girls list with Marjani, Kiania, Tuliza, Kinaya, Aluna, Sareeya, Kioni, Mila, Bia, Muirna, Meryl... etc.

For boys I love Omari, Lazola, Sanga, Bercan, Brannon, Errol, and Garridan, Jedrek, Jotham, Langston, etc.

So, what really unique or captivating names have you liked or loved but never used for fear of teasing, mis pronunciation, other..?

Constantine

That’s a boys name BTW.

Clementine

Lazuli - (Laz- you- lie) like the stone Lapis Lazuli. Wanted it on our list for a girls name but was shot straight down lol!!

I have a lovely Greek friend called Constantine Constantis, love it!
My friends boy is called Daanyaal which is lovely

I wanted to call my son Cosmo.

Arlo is nice.

I always liked Fallon - a character in the original Dynasty.

Also Jolie which means pretty on French.

Evangeline shortened to Eva.

My aunts mil was called NovelloI’ve always thought it was amazing

I like Torbian and Persephone. Unusual round here!

Persephone is one of my favs, too. Jolie and Fallon are pretty. Honor! Cassius! So many cool names so far. LovelyBranches, yours I cannot even begin to pronounce. 😂😎😏

Novello. I guess you ran your words together. 🏃🤑

I like Cassius or Castiel

Arriety and Phaedra for girls. Shot down in flames!

😆 Picknickers! Flames, huh?!! Oh, my.

I Love Cyan and Emrys for boys. Bronte and Eden for girls. Not brave enough to name them these though lol x

For a girl: Seressia (pronounced Sare risha) and Hypatia but this one i have heard prounounced both as Hi PAT ia and Hi PAY sha

For a boy: Bennet(t)

D2018, I went to Uni there was a guy, a poet, I hung out with who swore Bronte would be part of his son's name. He is too much of an adrenaline junkie that he never settled down and got had children, though. Also, I love Eden for a little girl. ❣😘💋😘❣

I work with a Bronte and went to a baby group where one of the babies was called Castile. Also had an uncle called Emrys.

Thanks for the clarification, yes it’s Novello. She went by Vel or Vello

I want to name our daughter Fleet but DH thinks I'm insane
