I'm due a little girl in July. I'm getting very concerned she's going to be nameless for a while as we just haven't found a name that sticks or feels 'right'. We want something not to popular or 'normal' e.g. Rose, Amy, Mia etc but not completely out there and unheard of. Our current names on the list are;
Aurora - concerned about rising popularity
Eden - Love it but as above
Honor - does it sound too much like 'on-her' don't want any bullying from this
Clementine - my partner is a redhead and if she's a ginger, fodder for bullies?

Middle name will be Florence and our last name begins with an S and ends in an N
Please give us your thoughts on our names and maybe suggest some others?

I have an Honor. In well over a decade she has never had anyone tease her about her name in the slightest, although there have been many weird and wonderful spellings of it from others.

She really likes the fact it's still relatively rare and that she's always been 'unique' at school. I think we've only ever met - by chance - a couple of other Honors. One was a woman who rushed up to us in Tescos to introduce herself after she'd heard me calling my daughter because she was so delighted to find another!

I love Aurora. You can't guarantee a names future status (whether it will rise in popularity or become less popular) so why not just pick one that you really like and not care about being unique? The only way you'll get something unique is if you make something up like the crazy new names originating these days.
