I'm looking for VERY unusual baby names (I think!)

[loie]

So DS has a name that wasn't even on the ONS. It's completely unique (some may argue that it's a word and not a name!) BUT I've had the most positive reactions to it.

I'm looking for name suggestions for both genders that are along the same level as unusualness. It's important to me that it's easy to pronounce and easy to spell though.

I like the names -
Girls: Coral, Effy, Jovie, Lainie, Quinn
Boys: Atlas, Eden, Jesse, Percy

But none of them are the one!

For the poster above who has Corin on a girls name list - it's a boy's name. Corinne is the female version.

For a girl, Dovey, inspired by Dovey Roundtree. Amazing woman. I have loved the name ever since I read an article about Ms. Roundtree.

For the poster above who has Corin on a girls name list - it's a boy's name. Corinne is the female version.

Oh, maybe my dn's name is just different. its definitely spelt corin but maybe SIL just wanted a shorter version? idk

Orpheus? Helios? For boys

Io (eye-oh), Circe for girls?

Girls

Aster
Zelda
Zelie

Boys

August
Lysander

Axel / Lysander
Xanthe / Isolde

I'm from the sensible name herd..

But I did hear the name Zevy the other day

Thought it was cool

I love Zephyr. Maybe Zevy was short for that?

For the poster above who has Corin on a girls name list - it's a boy's name. Corinne is the female version.

Oh, maybe my dn's name is just different. its definitely spelt corin but maybe SIL just wanted a shorter version? idk

😂😂 Or maybe someone made the first poster the Ruler of Names for Boys and Girls.

In Scandinavia and the Netherlands, Corin is a girls name and fairly popular, I believe the same for the US. So maybe it’s not exclusively gendered...crazy, right...?!
