Hello,

I was wondering if people could give me some ideas for some unusual but not too out there baby girl names, we have a really really common last night so would like to have a not so common first name but haven't got the faintest idea of where to start.

Thank you Smile

I know a Serafina/Seraphina and have always thought that is a beautiful unusual name but not too out there.

In my experience Lyra is not an unusual name.

Love Elspeth, wish I had used it.

We are expecting and plan on naming our baby girl, Rosalie which isn’t very common.

We are expecting and plan on naming our baby girl, Rosalie which isn’t very common.

Rosalie is a beautiful name, but I know three, and two Rosas, and lots of Rosies. There were 147 Rosalies in 2020 and it’s rising.

Lyra and Freya are also both lovely, but popular.

how unusual do you want it to be OP? If I wanted a bit unusual I’d go outside of the top 500, actually unusual outside the top 1000, or wacky/out of fashion, outside the top 3000.

A bit unusual - Louisa, Celeste, Dahlia, Cassandra, Tessa
actually unusual- Elinor, Sierra, Cassia, Nuala, Mariella, Seraphina
wacky/out of fashion - Adrienne, Cicely, Devorah, Marian, Orianna, Augusta, Catriona, Celestine, Indira, Joelle, Rowena.

Go for a retro (50s/60s/70s due a revival soon!) name that hasn't done the full circle yet! They will be the only in the sea of Lilys / Avas / Granny chic etcGrin
