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!

Two of those girls names are at my DC's school, so not particularly unusual if you're looking for something really unique OP

I like Red for a boy. And Neon.

My DH wouldn't agree to either though

I always liked the name Silas for a boy.

And you don't get many little Euphemias but it gives you both Effie and Mia as nicknames, both of which I think are pretty.

Zilpah or Hepzibah for a girl.
Septimus for a boy.

Gosh this is tricky but here goes...

Linus

Asher or Flynn for a boy.

You absolutely couldn't call anyone Jobbie if they were ever likely to come to Scotland

Romily (pronounced Rah-mi_ly) or Dulcie for girls.

Quite like Bramble!

Jobbie :o

OK even I wouldn't go for that!

Zodie, Raya, Milah, Kirby, Kiryn, Kiah, Jax, Maxene, Aubretia, Edelweiss, Aster, Carlo, Marlo, Jesabelle, Bardot....

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

I know a little boy Quinn and a little girl Eden so I would personally swap those around. I know a few little Jesse's and Percy's so they're not uncommon, to me at least.

Ziva
Hester
Essi

Boys
Aro
Jussi (Both Finnish)
Falco

@Sunbeam18 but it's not jobbie. It's jobs pronounced joe-bee 🙄

Joby even

Joe-bee or not, that's not a name you would get away with in Scotland

I had an older relative called Edme (Ed-may) which I would be tempted to use and have never seen anywhere else. (For a girl)

Jacks (Jax) is what Dubliners call the loo...

It’s been awhile since you lived in Ireland mathanxiety 😆

Boy
Emmanuel
Ceylon
Joseph
Hero
Girl
Elefteria (Greek, means freedom,)
Hera
Diana

In South Africa, a lot of people are named after traits or descriptions, such as Patience, Chastity, Charity, Beauty, Hope, Joy, Blessing etc... Very common in SA but if you're from the UK then some of those names are more unusual. I'm not a big fan of purposefully giving kids unusual names, but each to their own.

@OKPedro are you sure you're Irish?? Because 'jacks' is still very much the informal term that many Dubs use for 'toilet' (or should I say 'loo' seeing as this is Mumsnet) and I know several old men as well as two small boys called Moss!

Where do you live exactly?
