Aurora is extremely common and I just think roar roar roar or waw waw waw if you can't pronounce 'r'. Anyway, I loved my friend's daughter's name of Damaris. Also Phaedra. I love Cassia as an unusual name too.

J’Adore
DD went to nursery with a girl called J'Adore. She misheard her name when they first joined and called her 'Shut the Door' for ages.

I once applied for a job as an au pair with a family whose DC were called Chili and Espresso. Not nicknames, their actual names.

How does one find this out? I’d love to see how many of each name there are!

DD5 has a little girl named Louise in her class, although it seems common she’s the only child Louise I’ve ever met.

Also met children named Clarissa and Ingrid and a grown up Giana, these all seemed unusual to me but might be more common elsewhere.

This website is fab, RandomCatGenarator. As long as the name is used at least 3 times in a particular year, then it shows up. It goes back to 1996.
