Names that make you go "wow"?

[Giinnybeaulove]

Curious post - What names have you heard previously or if you heard them would make you go "wow" (in good way) or a name you'd think was simply sublime? Interested to hear your wow names

Sabre for a girl! It's a little out there but I'm working on DP for another baby and the name

Ramona
Paloma
Hosannah

Pia

I like Aurora because of Sleeping Beauty. Also Octavia, Jezebel (although things didn't end well for the famous one!) Dolores and Delilah. For boys: My youngest Son is called Jude, I still love his name. I also like Rubin, Noah, Isacc, Levi, Malachi and Elijah, all such lovely names :-) I also love flower names for girls: Poppy, Daisy, Lily, Iris, Primrose, Violet, Ivy, Bluebell, Marigold, Jasmine... all very cute!

@Aclh13 I'm so glad you mentioned Blair, that's my Grandaughter's name :-)

@GoatyGoatyMingeMinge Really you'd want to answersmash it, surely:

Isolde-Trafford? Marianne-Field? Coletihad!

I knew a Zuleika at school, it apparently means outstandingly beautiful and she lived up to it as she was gorgeous and massively popular with everybody.

I know a Sorelle, a Zinnia and a Hebe and they are all lovely

Dd goes to school with Calypso which I think is beautiful.

dd has two friends called

Cordiana
and
Nielufar (called Nielu usually)

I think both of them are "wow"

Years ago I knew a little boy called Zeno who was so cool you didn't know whether you were thinking "wow" at his name or at him (he was a third-grade "mentor" to my son when he entered school)

Twins named Royalty and Loyalty. Was internet browsing and came across them.

Nabuchadnezzar, never shortened! Beautiful name.

Willow and Erin. But I had two boys 🙈

Matilda.
Elsie.
India.
Emily.
Charlotte.
Florence.
Oliver
Arthur.
Harvey.

Really old fashioned Saints names like Perpetula or Mercey or Dolores.

Zebulon.

It's actually the name of the granddad in the waltons.

Igraine

I came very close to using it for DD

• just love the sound of it!

Mungo

Did consider it for DS if he'd been born on St Mungo's Day.
He wasn't though. He was born on Burns' Night instead.

Twins called Henry & Harry. It was not a positive 'wow'.

Cosmo
Cassiopeia
Danger

Rainbow
Mayme (May-me)

Lera

The Australian Swede on YouTube who has 10 children. Can't think of all the names but here's a selection: Aphrodite, King James, Romeo (the least unusual one) Nefertiti, Omega, and Shakespeare and 4 kids as well. Her own first name is Taina. Her surname I can't spell at all. And it's hyphenated. It's weird but the names suit them as their lifestyle is so different from most of ours.

That should read 4 more kids😊.

Sorry slightly off topic but do you think they'll be quite a number of babies who were conceived during lockdown with 'covid/sounding type names?

I love the name Evangaline too. Didn't quite have the nerve for Dd1 back in 1995!
She had a uni friend called Seraphina which was cool.
Best name though was a fellow student on my masters course. Her name was Happiness and boy did it suit her.
