Too unusual?

[moll14]

Hi all,
I have recently taken a liking to unusual baby names. My family don't take the same view as me so I was just wondering about the thoughts on the names: Meadow, Alabama & Noelle?
I know they're unusual but I can't stand seeing the same baby names used over and over, want to have something more unique but not sure if I've gone too far 🙈

Meadow is pretty & the imagery that goes with it is nice.
Suki Is sweet & will be seen as more typical due to 'Suki put the kettle on' nursery rhyme.
Noelle is fine.

If you like Quentin Tarantino do you like the name Abernathy? I always remember that name from Death Proof.

Meadow is brave but I like it. Not keen on the others

Suki is a beautiful name in my opinion. Not keen on the others, sorry.

Meadow, Alabama & Noelle

Meadow is awful and could sound comical with some surnames
Alabama - try Virginia, Carolina or Georgia instead
Noelle - ok, a bit too christmassy

Alabama and Meadow - you’ve gone too far

Nothing wrong with Noelle but you’d expect it to be a Christmas baby.

There are LOTS of unusual names, you do not need to name your daughter after a random geographical location you have likely never been to

Noelle is a lovely Christmas/winter baby name.

I don't like Alabama at all, sorry. Meadow doesn't sound like a real name to me.

Melody - not too bad but Elodie is popula
Evora - looks like a product name
Suki - I know a few, all of asian heritage

Sukey is fine, but ideally as a short form of Susannah / Shoshanna to give her options

Melody is OK, but she’ll end up Mel which is dull

Evora - she’ll end up one of a million Evies so that’s not for you

Well yes if it’s short for Susannah then it’s just a nickname. But Suki as a full name (which I presume is what op meant as she didn’t mention the name Susannah) I would expect to be Japanese. Personally I wouldn’t use it as a full name for that reason.

Meadow, Melody and Suki are lovely. I can't decide if I like Noelle. I don't like Alabama I think it's just to 'a' heavy to my ears!

They're all good except Alabama!

What about Autumn?

I love Meadow. I know what a PP means about Meadow Soprano but I love the name and how it looks written down.

Alabama is ridiculous

Noelle makes me think of Teenage Dirtbag. Her name was Noelle, I had a dream about her, she rings my bell…

I don't like Alabama either.
Not a fan of Meadow as it sounds too wishy washy for me. I prefer Suki.

Love nature names Meadow, Brooke, Hazel, Iris and Heather are all lovely

I love Meadow! It was on our list too. So pretty!

Can you seriously even think “Alabama” without the song being in your head?

Yes to Noelle, Meadow isn't great, Alabama is cruel.

I'd vote for Noelle. And I agree it doesn't need to be a winter baby. My nephew is called Noel and he was born in july (and one of his parents is French !)

Noelle could be used but she'd run the risk of everyone thinking she was yuletide baby

Meadow - ok, makes me think of Meadow Soprano, slight hippy vibe.

Noelle - ok, refreshing, actual name

Alabama - terrible

I love the name Alabama, true romance

Love meadow. Noelle isn't one of my favourites and no way to Alabama

But names like meadow- fern, river, peaches ( if your brave enough) , willow etc

@moll14

Thanks guys! The only thing with Alabama that I really loved was that I'm a Quentin Tarantino fan and one of his characters is called Alabama. I'm also a fan of Melody, Evora and Suki. I agree Noelle would have to be a winter baby I think!

Evora Is beautiful

Meadow is very nice, but not Alabama
