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?

DD has a friend called Adaya (Uh-day-uh) which I think is really cute, I've not heard it before

I used to work with a lineker. Yep, she was named after Gary

I love the name Seren.
Or there's Xanthe which is unusual but means Chrysanthemum.
Sasha is pretty and not much used these days.
Zelda

Janessa - a combo of the two DGMs

Reesa - a combo of DM
& DF's names

I don't like either of them but they're unusual.

Or you could go with Joyce or Deirdre? They must be due a comeback

Mainly pop on these threads to see if my dds' name crop up: 3/3 today! @Paivaa Tula is lovely, never heard that before!

I know a Fiamma and an Adara.

@CityDweller

I once met a baby girl called Five. No idea what the story was there!

I also know an (adult) Adeline, which I think is a nice, unusual name.

Adeline (and many other spellings) is currently a really popular name in the US.
