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:

Keanu

Any opinions or suggestions would be great!

None of them is unique, but they're all pretty unusual these days.

The irony of being one of the 20 zillion posters who come to name board asking for "unique" name 😂

KirstenBlest · 25/05/2023 22:17

You can't have pretty unique either.

How about Verouka for a girl, Veroukan for a boy?

ComeTheFuckOnBridgett · 25/05/2023 22:17

Nevaeh. Did you know it's heaven spelled backwards???

Wow can people stop being so shitty to the OP?

Ok so she mistake used "very" before unique. Not the point of the thread and patronising to keep raising it.

And yep, we get that some of you only approve of children as human beings if they are named Susan, Jane, Thomas, Michael or some other Enid Blyton middle class yawn, but the OP's son is called Ezra and she's looking for a name that goes with that so she's not going to choose Elizabeth, ok?

@pottytrainingggg
I think there's quite a few names in between 'Aroza' and Susan

scrivette · 25/05/2023 23:32

Names I have only come across once and I like...

Amity
Persephone
Indigo
Serendipity
Alba
Primrose

How on earth do you get Marley from Mali? Why not just go for Marley or is not unique enough for you.

Marcipex · 25/05/2023 23:58

I know an Amadeus, a Maverick, a Nevaeh and a Rio.
I was at school with a Melody and a Loveday in the Dark Ages. I think you’ll find it very difficult to find a unique name.
Just go for something moderately uncommon and use the normal spelling.
Ezra and Cara
Ezra and Amos
Ezra and Luca
Ezra and Miranda

KirstenBlest · 26/05/2023 00:02

@giggly, you can't have 'unique enough'. Something is either unique or not.

I don't understand the Mali/Marley comment. I say them the same, although if I saw the name Mali on a list of girls' names, I'd say it as Mally.

The only way to get a unique name is to invent one from scratch. That is what unique means; "one of a kind".

That's the point.

Which is fine. Invent brand new names if you want. Or ask for unusual names. Nobody has to call their child Susan.

Poor bloody child! 😥

sunnydaysandhappythoughts · 26/05/2023 02:04

Unusual or less common fair enough but why inflict a name on a child that may impact future career choices? Unfortunately some employers will judge names that are unique.
