Uncommon girls names

[mummyje20]

We're expecting our first. We have a list but am having a moment of- what if we haven't thought of the perfect name?!

We'd love a bible name, but not Ruth/Esther etc, and we are very very picky as both teachers.

I'll give you some of our ideas so you get the gist of what we've liked so far!

Any suggestions very very welcome :)

Damaris
Leila
Athena
Nia
Emmelise
Anais
Israel

Damaris is lovely, but also a high end sexy lingerie brand, which would put me off!

Kia
Enya
Atlanta
Honour
Anaira

May I ask for correct pronunciation of Anais?

@QuintusEstInHorto oh thats put me right off haha!
@bananaskinsnomnom i love Anaira! I believe Anais is 'an-eye-ees'

Damaris is really nice!

Adelaide
Amaryllis
Clara
Cleo
Eve
Mariah
Remy
Zara

Elphine
Delphi
Euphemia
Aerin
Octavia

We were the same looking for an unusual biblical girls name. We eventually went with Selah pronounced like say-lah from psalms. We love it

Ooooh @Happymama24 that is a strong contender!!!
Now to introduce it to dp... 😂 he's settled on a name which I do love too, but is too outing to post

Oops.. name change fail

Mary is due a revival.

Athena
Aphrodite
Iris
Aaria
Maira
Zara
Alona
Mila
