Unusual but classy baby names?

[hattie32]

Please throw any suggestions at me - both male and female as we don't know the sex yet.

I would love something very classy / traditional but something you don't hear every day! I love 'Grace' for a girl but I know it's quite common.

I also like 'Ethan' for a boy but a close relative has a son called that so that's out too. Other than that my mind is stumped...

Archibald
Gertrude

Miranda

Guaranteed the name you choose ‘that you don’t hear very often’ will pop up a million times by the time you get to primary school. Just choose a name you like

Anouk for a girl

Innes for a boy

@Menopants oh definitely. We have an Arthur already and that's everywhere!

Juliet
Margot
Victoria
Alexandra
Genevieve
Cora
Dora

Jasper
Jude
Benedict
Dominic
Isaac
Nathaniel
Jonathan

I love Celia/ Cecily/ Cecelia, if we have a girl they are contenders

Cordelia
Felicity
Sabrina or Sabina
Mariella or Maryelle
Cecily
Romilly
Seraphina
Morwenna
Rosamund
Melusine - from French story

you can also pick some choice dated names. I feel with incredible variety of names today, best you can do is choose some less popular names, but not unique

Matilda

How do you pronounce that first one? In my head it's Cereal 🤣

I'm stuck as well OP - I'm having a boy and only contenders at the moment are Finley, Jacob/Jake and Lucas. But I even feel a bit meh about those!

Catherine ♥️

Rayann

Is Grace used that much at the moment? There are lots who are now late teens/early 20s but I didn't think there were so many younger ones. Lovely name.
