Im really stuck on girls names, theres not a single name me and my partner can agree on. I want something unusual but something really pretty and girly. Whats the most unusual names you've heard?

Currently 28 weeks pregnant. Will be calling DC#2 Aurora
Lovely name but not unusual, I know 3 personally and several more in the area.

Barrie is probably the most unusual name I've heard of - her dad was desperate for boy and wanted to call him Barry, out came a girl but the name stuck. I wouldn't recommend it though.

I think most of the very unusual ones are awful and often made up.

I think if you want uncommon in a child at the moment you need to go with Pamela, Linda, Patricia etc but obviously very common in women of a certain age!

I had a Lauralie (lorra-lye) in class which I thought was very pretty name.

Also Summer and Wynter in same class.

Most unusual name ever was a boy called Matrix whose name I tried to avoid saying. Confused

My DSis knows a Shania. Her DM always blames it on her PG hormones.
