We cannot think of a girls name we like that isn't really popular.

Names we like but for various reason probably won't use are;

Storm
Sloane
Lovella
Quinn

Can anyone else suggest some more unusual girls names along the same lines?

I actually love Sloane, one of the ones you have already suggested.

My DD is Elowen. I also considered Onyx, Ariadne, Callista, Morven, Soraya and Zephyr (to name a few!).

There's a good YouTube channel called SJ Strum and she had a recent video featuring baby names that were the least popular in the records lately. Some were really cool!

Ashley is lovely to say and guessing there wouldn't be too many baby Ashley's 😁

IMO there is a very good reason no one else is calling their children Storm or Sloane.

If I wanted a name no one else was likely to use I would pick a name that was previously popular but won't come back into fashion for a long time, like Elaine, Suzanne, Michelle or Natalie, or a name that is currently very popular in another country but also works in English such as Celeste, Anouska or Ida.

Meriel and Meryl are also nice. I've only ever met one of each.

I know a Quinn, love that name.

If I had another daughter, I would probably name her Morgan.

I've always loved the name Velvet after the character in the book and film National Velvet. I've got 2 boys though and I'm not having any more children.
