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

I know some are but I did ask for names but I thought there would be some I like aha

Tbf @Bellejones22, you haven't really given people a lot to go on...unique (as already established), is not accurate unless you are going to make something up which NOBODY else on the planet has ever used as a name. Pretty means different things to different people.

If you find what people have suggested not to your tastes, maybe you could give some feedback rather than "aha I don't like any of these" and not clarifying what you like or don't like 🤷‍♀️.

Honestly, I would rethink the double barrelled name. Just give her two names. You can call her by both, if you like, but it will be much easier for her filling in forms and telling people her name if she just has one first and one second name.

Zombie! Baby was born in September and has been named by now unless OP is really indecisive ;)

If you're still around, what did you pick?

On mumsnet's baby name generator, it says the name Jean-Baptiste goes well with the name jones : )

Our girls name choice has always been Genevieve - I adore it and think it’s so so pretty!

I’m blessed with two gorgeous boys though (well nearly, a few weeks to go for baby 2!) and am I shite ever doing pregnancy again, so won’t be using it - I still love it though!

Words are based on meaning and usage and the meaning of a word can be added to and changed over time. Take the word peruse which originally meant to read throughly and has come to also mean to skim through. One of the definitions of unique according to merriem-webster is unusual and MN baby name forum isn't an exam paper or police statement so I think you're fine using unique here... everyone knows what you mean especially since you added "unusual"
