Unusual / unique girls or boys names

[summerhillgang]

Looking for more ideas! Such a hard decision naming isn't it? We're not finding out the gender so looking at both boys and girls, and any middle name ideas. We want something unique but also pleasant sounding, not too worried about associations etc

Ones that I like right now

Boys:
Forrest
Grayson
Ayrton
Eden
Lachlan

Girls:
Xanthe
Romy / Romily
Clementine
Constance
Ophelia

Not so keen on your boys list - but you might like Heath, Fen, Zev, Lev, Orion or Orrin (all nature related/have nature meanings like Forrest and Eden).

Like some of your girls list - especially Xanthe and Ophelia. You might also like Romola, Sylvie, Ianthe, Octavia, Verity, Gaia and Cassia.

Elwood for a boy
Quintina or Seranee for a girl

Fen or Fenne is very cool @IamnotwhouthinkIam - only issue my BFF is calling her son Finn

Love Elwood @Tinty - Seranee also lovely, a very close friend has a Seren sadly. Originally top of my list!

Oriel

Romily is nice too

Rafferty
Bodhi
Griffin
Beau
Cassius
Rhett
Evander
Dallas
Xavier
Gideon
Jago

Savannah
Autumn
Athena
Aurelia
Oceania
Dakota
Everly

Verity
Audrey
Roxanne
Greta
Liberty

Delphine
Jemima
Daphne

Laurence
Axel
Otto
Otis
Griffin
Austin
Winston
Walter
Wilfred
Cole
Christopher Kit

Really like Xanthe and Ophelia (both on my longlist), but the ‘I feel ya’ thing puts me off Ophelia as a first, there’s a drag queen called Ophelia Ballz. You’ve got some lovely names for girls, the only other suggestion I’d make which seems to fit is Cecily. Boys - Evren, Stellan, Reuven, Lorcan.

Also Soren, Eben.

Boys... No ideas!

Girls:
Roma
Cecily
Juno
Juniper
Olive
Tabitha
Tallulah
Fern
Alba

Ophira?

Boys:
Forrest - umm reminds me of Forrest Gump and connotations of struggle
Grayson- too American in style for me
Ayrton- ??
Eden - girls name
Lachlan - nice

Girls:
Xanthe - love it
Romy / Romily - reminds me of gypsies
Clementine - sweet
Constance - lovey
Ophelia- quite nice although the Ophelias i know are awful!!

Other ideas-

Boys
Sholto - my absolute favourite name!!!! Bonkers i know
Douglass
Flash!!

Girls -
Katinka
Lavender
Venetia
Allegra
Zephoria
Willa
Milla

Rowena
Martha
Dawn
Trinity
Astrid
Katerina
Alexandra
Saskia

Oakley
Redmond
Josslyn
Ranulph
Josiah
Douglas

Logan
Duncan

Blythe

Love Lachlan, and all girls list

Sorrell for a girl
Lex for a boy (although this is normally a nn for Alexander).

Ivo
Blake
Leon
Quentin
Caspian

Penelope
Cecily
Adrienne
Margot
Ariadne

Your girls list is great - really like Constance, Clementine and Ophelia also very nice. Romily is pretty, but a bit girly, Romy more of a nn I think
Other thoughts - Cordelia, Cassia, Serena, Seraphina, Rosaria, Iona, Marianne, Lois, Ffion, Cecily, Verity, Felicity, Selene

Of your boys list I also really like Lachlan, but less keen on the others. Ayrton and Grayson just not very appealing (despite the name sakes), Eden mainly a girls name and a bit trailer park, Forrest very trailer park.

Lorcan, Ronan, Reuben, Calab, Cormac, Kester, Aaron, Aidan, Jesse, Jethro, Jerome, Jonah, Fionn, Fenn, Finlay, Struan, Stellan, Soren might be alternatives

Grayson is not an unusual / unique name. Its now within the top 100 boys names.

DS goes to school with two.

@summerhillgang we wanted to name or daughter pepper or juniper but it got rinsed on here 😂😂 still haven't decided! Boys names I love Otto xx
