Our baby girl is still nameless...

[LeopardLover]

Hello! Had a surprise baby girl who is still nameless because we were convinced (haha) she was a boy.

Please can you send me lists of names? I really appreciate any help! I don't like typically traditional names, I want something unusual ideally.

Names I love that don't suit / fit:

Elkie
Oriana
Solene
Leni

Love but too popular (or vetoed by DH):

Luna
Nova
Noa

Thanks!

Selkie
Clover
Eloise
Maryelle
Cecily
Ottilie
Amoret
Marigold

Alba
Celeste
Soraya
Clementine
Cadence

Imogen
Florence
Aurora
Willow
Testament
Rowen
Sylvia
Prudence

So many lovely names to choose from !

How about Elke? Love this name

Tessa not Testament !

Celia
Saskia
Anoushka
Erin
Cece
Adrienne
Adalie

Agnes
Daphne
Regitze
Moa

Delphine
Celeste
Mira
Ursula

Seren

Frankie
Elin
Owena
crista

Fritha - old Norse name meaning peace

I met a Selkie once, she was an amazing child.

If you download the 2021 baby names data from ons, on one of the sheets you can scroll down to see almost every name used that year, rather than just top 100 etc. Probably the easiest way to see hundreds of names in one place!

I really like it! Correctly pronounced Elk-eh, is that right? Probably destined to be mispronounced in the west country 🤔

I recently read a book where the main character was called Silka … pretty name I think and never met one in real life

Oh this is the BEST hack, thank you! And some lovely name suggestions, a few that have been vetoed / are too similar to my son's name but lovely regardless.

I'm adding this to the list!

So I only found out this was an actual job when I was scrolling through reels on insta last night. But there is a woman who is a baby name consultant. I know 🙄

Anyway, her insta page might be useful to you as she has lists of names with various themes. Many are quite unusual and may be what you're looking for.
