I am really struggling with baby girl names. Our boy name is Hudson and he would be named after someone whereas a girl wouldn't.
I like:
Milah- our friends used it 😢
Maela
Mylah
Lilah
Autumn

Hubby doesn't like any. Please suggest other slight unique names I might be able to get him to agree to ❤️

Milah, Maela and Mylah are unique but not in a good way, and are similar to many other popular names.
Lilah - very samey with Mila, Lila, Lyra etc, not unique
Autumn - we're well into spring

What names does your husband like?

There are so many amazing names!
I personally am not a fan of girls names ending in a as they can sound a bit lazy/made up sometimes.
But here's a few, with and without the a thing!
Don't be too 'unique.' Those kind of names can end up sounding trashy. Imagine your daughter is a 35 year old lawyer mother-of-one. Now choose a name that isn't going to make her cringe everytime she says it.

Eloise
Hannah
Lucy
Dorothea
Florence
Reya
Astrid
Leonora
Juliet
Dahlia
Polly
Violet
Siobhan
Nina
Christina
Mabel
Freya
Sara
Serena
Constance
Cecilie
Isla
Thea
Una
Etienne
Emmeline
Rebecca
Willa
Quinn
Alexandra
Genevieve
Meredith

My daughter is Tahlia, pronounced Tar-lee-u. It's Hebrew and means little lamb. We used to call her our little lamb before I knew what it meant.

I like autumn, we had it on our list for our first, but he was a boy, and then a friend used it before we had our second. We went with Madison for our second and grace as a second name.

Also liked Luna

BonnyT · 21/04/2024 08:00

Unique names that I can guarantee noone else in her school year will have...

Chlamydia
