Looking for something very unique

[pollpp]

I have an Ezra already, which was a lot less common at the time.

Trying to find a unique name for a boy and girl.

Currently like:

Girls:

Kalani
Arazo
Melody
Mali
Amila

Boys:

Kobe
Rio
Keanu

Any opinions or suggestions would be great!

Mali is lovely

Candida
Syphillis, Syph for short

Carbunkle for a boy

Mali is a Welsh name. There's a TV programme called Sali Mali and the pronunciation (I think) is Sally Mally.

Sorry, but I hate it when names are spelled incorrectly in a desperate attempt to be unique.
It just looks like the parents can't spell.

It has to be Carbuncle for a boy

Mali is a Welsh girls name and not pronounced how you would so you'd need to be prepared for incorrect pronunciation of your child's name.

Mali is nice but I would get confused with the pronunciation!
Mila?

Mali is a country beset by terrorist groups.

How is it pronounced? I'm aware of Mabli but haven't heard of Mali as a Welsh name before

I prefer Kali to Kalani.
What about Zinnia, Dakota, Lorelei, Gaia, Mirabel, Xanthe, Solange, Gisele.
Boys, Orion, Sholto, Acer, Fabian, Raul, Jago

Don’t do this

Melody and she can’t hold a tune or isn’t musical
Mali - there is a war on etc

it’s just asking for trouble.

why do you want to do this to them? Do you think they will love it or it will help their life?

unusual fine - unique - just no

same for all the rubbish spellings they spend their whole life correcting

a strong girls name and unusual for now ie not that popular at the moment

Emma
Darcey
Francesca
Taylor

I'm go mad someone still knows this.

What is wrong with saying "I want a very unusual name" anyway?

Youneek

So glad someone still knows it, and simultaneously going mad, apparently.

Something is unique, and there aren't degrees of uniqueness. If you want unique you'll need to invent a name.

Girls:
Kalani - looks made up
Arazo - looks made up
Melody - not unique and similar to Elodie
Mali - it's not unique. It's Welsh for Molly, and pretty popular with Welsh speakers
Amila - there are lots of similar names like Amina, Amira, Amiya, Jamila

Boys:
Kobe - not unique
Rio - ditto
Keanu - ditto

I can confirm I have taught a female Gary.
Still prefer that to some of the made up bullshit names on this thread.

Maverick
Romany

@whatausername , Mali (Mally) is Molly, Mabli (MABBly) is Mabel

Came on to say this , but you get flamed if you criticise grammar.

@KirstenBlest ah thank you!

@whatausername , Welsh is phonetic, and the stress goes on the penultimate syllable. The Sali Mali character is pronounced Sally Mally, and is Welsh for Sally Molly.

To get the Marley pronunciation, or something near it you'd need to write it as Mâli.

😂😂

You need to look on those lists of names which are rarely used or haven't been used for years, eg:
Lacey
Beverley
Sharon
Tracey
Doreen
Gloria
Maureen
Nigel
Neville
Darren
Raymond
Derek
Maurice

Renee
Ramona
Jasmina
Marnie

Raphael
Monty
Sonny

Cambria
Tesne

Keith
Norbutt

@PrincessHoneysuckle , those names are awful.
