I need an unusual, quirky, pretty, girl’s name, and quick.

Baby girl due very soon. I already have 2 sons and choosing a girl’s name is so much harder!

I like more modern names mostly (with the exception of names like Hazel and Cassia) not a huge fan of say Eleanor for example.
Something that’s unusual, a bit quirky and has personality but is also pretty. I mean don’t we all want that? (For ex one of my friends has a Nova which I’ve always quite liked but not a fan of other astrological names) Don’t want anything too ridiculous though. I imagine myself saying to a teacher ‘hi my name is X’ and think whether I’d like saying that or not!

Please help! I’ll take any suggestions. Nothing is stupid, just help a struggling, overly fussy with names, mum. There are plenty of names I like but none that I just think yes, that’s my baby’s name.

Winner gets a mars bar. Unless you’re vegan. Okay I’ll stop talking now - I clearly need to go to bed.

Some lovely names on here. We seem to have similar tastes, your DS’s names were on my boys list. I have an Everly and yes it gets mistaken for Emily/Evelyn at times in brief conversations but I still absolutely adore it, and we had so many lovely comments.

Also love;
Harlowe
Elodie
Joliey (Joely, Jolie)
Cassia

PP - Kai means food in Maori (New Zealand). Probably in multiple other languages has different meanings.

She's not going to have Grey or Grace when she's got a Grayson, now, is she? Bugs me when people just splurge out their favourite names regardless of the criteria!

Redrec All these baby naming threads are achingly middle class

When people are suggesting Harlow, Macy, Everleigh, Paige and Lacey? Really??

Agree ^ also think there should be a 5 name limit , I skip the long lists.

Equatoria · 10/09/2019 01:22

I love the long lists! If I like the first few names someone suggests, I know there will be some more gems in there too.

I suggested Grace - but it was before the OP had said she has a Grayson.
