Morning!

I've got a few threads going asking for opinions on the names Lorelei, Aurelia, Romilly, Orea & Leonie however we've still not even come close to whittling down a list of names for our baby girl And she's due in May.

Does anyone have any new suggestions for a classy but unusual girls name?

Our surname is Clark.

Thanks!! ☺️

How about Aurora, nickname Rory?

I also like your suggestion of Aurelia, but suspect you might get into the question of pronunciation

Or - EE - lee - a versus OW - RAY - lee - a

Saskia or Imogen but others may disagree

Aurelia is my favourite from your current list. Some other suggestions, I’ve also written their meanings in case you’re interested Smile:
Orinthia (‘to stir the mind’)
Leala (‘loyal’)
Viola (‘violet’)
Verity (‘truth’)
Oriana (‘sunrise’)
Brontë (‘thunder’)

I like Leonie from your list. What about Louisa? That’s my daughters name.

I absolutely love the name Beatrice but it is incredibly popular where I live - I know loads of Beatrice / Beatrix named girls.

My daughters name has been mentioned several times which makes me happy as classy and slightly unusual was the exact vibe we were going for 😁

CruCru · 09/04/2020 15:46

I love Elizabeth (and only know adult ones) but I’m not sure if that’s the sort of thing the OP is looking for.

I've never heard of Orea but I'd be worried about her at school
The potential for hurtfully being called Oreo (cookie) or Urea ...

A a ( as in Ava Gardner the forties Hollywood film star. Nice and simple but classy and can't really be shortened. Plus, Ava Clarke sounds good too.
