My kids are 16-21 so I won't be using any myself! But I still think of names I like that I rarely hear, especially in the under 10s. Of course my choices may age me! Some I like:

Natasha
Naomi
Cosima
Greta
Sebastian
Conrad
Jamie
Tamzin
Constantine

And maybe this isn't underused (?) I dunno but my fav boy's name is Dominic and DH said NO.

My absolute favourite is Hilda. It's probably a good job we never had a daughter, as DH hates it and we'd have seriously fallen out...

I like Hilda too, Hildegard nn Hildy is nice

Agree about Natasha.

I like Aneurin as a boys name, after the founder of the NHS.

Ursula, Annika, Sabrina, and Jocelyn.

But since I apparently only produce boys, I won't be able to use them!

Laurence. Beautiful name.

est1899 · 11/07/2022 11:04

I like Paula & Lindy. Just because I think they feel lovely to say and I do know two very lovely ladies called Paula & Lindy in their 70's.

I love Roger but DH only stopped laughing long enough to say absolutely not. I don't get it, I think it's a great name.
