Unique and pretty girl names

[Bellejones22]

Hiya,

I've not been in here before but got recommended it.

I'm due my little baby girl in 3 weeks! (This is my first) And I have hardly any names I like

I like unique and unusual names and double barrelled please any suggestions will be much appreciated, Baby girl will have my last name which is Jones

Anastasia Jones

Marina, Elspeth, Rosa, Cosima, May

I think most double barrel names are unique unless you use really common combinations such as Lily-Rose, Daisy-Mae etc. I think the trick is to find one slightly unusual name and then a more common name, so it doesn’t sound too comical or over the top.

I’m not sure what your naming style is but I’ve tried to include a variety of styles for inspiration:

Clementine-Scout
Bessie-Blue
Lilith-Rose
Aubrey-Paige
Iris-Dove
Tallulah-Grace
Nola-Jade
Pandora-Hope
Sadie-Kit
Iona-Skye
India-Lark
Ezra-Quinn
Daisy-Rue
Elowen-Snow
Charlotte-Wren

Samantha
Bridget

Nerissa Jones
Avril Jones
Keziah Jones
Linnea Jones
Saskia Jones
Ember Jones
Calliope Jones
Madelief Jones

Some of these are atrocious! Are we in Arkansas??

I was just thinking these sounded like something from one of those trailer trash name generators on SM.

How about something classical?

Please don't use the tired old Mae/Rae/Rose as a hyphenated name. Absolutely everywhere and as dull as ditchwater.

I love the name Thalia and would have chosen this as my dd’s name if DH’s cousin hadn’t used it.

I'm loving felicity faye jones

Of course they’re going to be awful, the OP asked for unique and unusual double barrel names. It’s kind of hard not to go into redneck/hillbilly territory 😆

Even your bog standard double barrel names, like Daisy-May and Lily-Rose, are going to sound hickish if you’re choosing to go down that route 🤣

Bryony
Lydia
Olive
Erin
Zara
Eleanor
Heather
Sadie
Hazel
Tiegan
Naomi
Shelby
Fern
Kimberley

Clementine (Clemmie) Jones
Shiloh Grace Jones
Harper Rose Jones
Jemima Jones (JJ)
Molly Mae Jones

Alexis Jones

floss-hattie jones

or floss-harri jones : )

Olive is lovely and quite unusual. Not unique or unheard of, but not EVERYWHERE.

Other nice nature names:

Star
Maple
Marigold
Posie
Rowan
Ocean
Aurora
Blue

Or something like:

Leonora
Mathilde
Clothilde
Frida
Ingrid
Briggitte

Greek names are having a moment I think. Some are nice, but some are a bit stuffy to me.

Persephone nn Percy is adorable imo, though.

I hate Athena because the birth story and paintings of her birth make me feel sick.

A lot of names which people choose to be "unique but pretty", (which sound a bit like common names, "but a bit different"), all blend together, so I would personally steer clear of these. It used to be Lyra and Lilah were the "unique but pretty" names everyone used, (so, far from unique). Now it's Elara and Elora. I always think, "they aren't unique. They are common names with el on the front"! Lyra and Lilah, Elara and Elora are just Layla, Laura, Lola and Lara for the new generation and they all blend together. That isn't an issue if you don't care about that, but if you want "unique" / "a bit different"; these aren't it!

Lot a double name inspiration

Oddly, growing up in redneck territory, all the double named people I grew up with were boys who ended up going by initials (AJ was particularly popular).

Personally I prefer names like Leanora, Mirabelle, Evelina, Bethia, Caelia, Danica, Annora that are sound kinda like doubles but aren't and tend to be more unusual that what makes up a double name. There have been other great ones already recommended like Marianne, Leonora.

Other unusual names: Abeni, Adalet, Chryssa, Halina, Reina, Amery, Deanie, Polina, Valora, Merita, Justica, Betony...
