Name change for this as could be outing. I am half Greek so am quite tanned with dark eyes and hair. DP has a mixed race father and an Italian mother so is also olive skinned. (However we both grew up here in the UK - me from age 3 and him from birth.)
Our daughter will be an English, Greek, Italian and Jamaican mix Grin , so will likely be tanned with dark eyes and dark hair like us. We’d really like an ‘exotic’ name for her, one that is pretty and quite unusual, but one that will also work here in the uk.
Not too bothered about the origin, I mean if it’s greek / Italian / Jamaican then even better but not game over.

Thank you!

I know a young girl called Cassara. Never heard the name before or since.

I like Gia

Malyshek · 18/09/2019 08:17

When you mentioned the various origins, the name that immediately sprang to mind was Callista.

It means "the most beautiful" in greek. Lots of possible nicknames (Cal, Callie, etc). Easy to pronounce in any language.

I’d go for an exotic flower name, like Dahlia, Nerine, Camellia, Zinnia

81Byerley · 18/09/2019 18:33

Just thought of another one. Mara. Or Maya?

81Byerley · 18/09/2019 18:36

I hate when people pronounce Saffron Saff-Ron instead of more like Saffren.

Cleopatrai · 18/09/2019 18:39

Exotic is quite an offensive term btw
