Unique baby girl names please

Hi lovely’s, can you help me with a baby girl names please?

We are having a girl. We already have a girl named Aspen so no more place names and no L names because we don’t like alliteration with our last name which is Lane.

For girls names we currently like Senna (but we just found out it’s a laxative… it was our top name), Alba (hubby doesn’t like it) Kova ( too close to Covid…) so stronger, unique girls names. Nothing pretty or long - two syllables if possible.

Thank you, I would appreciate some ideas

I think finding a unique name is going to be difficult, many of the names suggest so far are not unique, so my suggestion is

Wheelbarrow nn Wheelie

I'm pretty certain she'll be the only one at school with that name.

Your surname means that many of the names suggested will sound like an address: Bronte Lane, River Lane etc.

If stick with a 'name' name and forget about being unique.

How about Sienna which is close to Senna without being a laxative

FluffyEggsontoast · 22/09/2020 08:21

Greta

@TheFormerPorpentinaScamander yes sienna is nice but am guessing it's way too high in the charts for OP as she wants an unusual name, it's top 100, about number 25

None of these names are unique. If you want a uniqie name you'll have to invent one.

Do you perhaps want a very unusual name?

TheFormerPorpentinaScamander · 22/09/2020 08:33

@FluffyEggsontoast sorry for not checking the name charts Shock. I only know 1 sienna and she's 15 so I didn't realise it had become so popular. Both my sons have top 100 names, one is top 5. We've still only ever met a couple of children with the same name Confused
No such thing as a unique name anyway, unless you make it up yourself.

@TheFormerPorpentinaScamander oh no problem for not checking the name stats - it's only geeks like me that love this stuff and like looking it up! I wouldn't expect others to do it.
I also only know 1 Sienna but I'm guessing someone looking for an unusual name is going to be looking outside the top 100
I think that's probably why Senna is a bad idea as it'll be misheard for Sienna all the time and won't feel very unusual

How about Pearl or Aubrey or Liberty

Roxanna nickname Roxy?

Nico is great for a girl - someone suggested it above and I love it.

Love Veda too. Nina isn't unusual but sounds lovely with your surname. I also like Cece and Joni.

ZoyaTheDestroyer · 22/09/2020 11:33

Sianna? The one I know is Hindu but the name is also a Celtic goddess associated with Diana.
