After a unique name?

[Megg3636]

I already have two daughters and we’re having a third child… after unique, not common names :)

I have an uncommon first name and love it and never had issues or teasing at school. I loved being the only one, and not one of the 4 Rebeccas or Sarahs! Its only 4 letters long and also a place name- which isn't rare or unheard of. Its written how it phonetically sounds, but despite this, I have had it spelt wrong- often by adults.
Think of Jane. I've also had Jain, Jayne, Jyne, Jyane, Gane! What I'm trying to say is that even a 4 letter, IMO easy name, can be tricky for some!
Here are some other ideas:

Coral/Coralie
Verda
Briar
Azure
Yvonne
Chaya
Rain/e
Rayna
Nia
Layke

Cren
Trader
Dalton
Colt/Colton
Kai
Jai
Blaze
Conan
Levi
Riley
Lincoln
Beau
Mason
Seren
Azlan

Tiberius
Septimus

Cordelia
Aurelia

I suspect they'd be the only one in their class with:
Brian
Gary
Jeffrey

Joyce
Sandra
Mildred

Gaynor
Gaylord
Nigel
Warren
Barry
Fester
Regina

Do you mean unusual as opposed to unique? Unique means one of a kind, so unless you make it up there with always be other people with the same name. My mum has a unique middle name because her dad misheard a French name when he was away during the war, there is literally no one else on the planet with her middle name.

Having worked with loads of children's names, it's often hard to work out which way round the names are when they have a first name that was traditionally a surname.

Do you understand what unique means? If so then you'll just need to make a name up yourself.

Domino and Cosmo for a girl are both traditional but ‘unusual’. Also quirky as they sound like boys names.

When people say unique, they mean unusual

They could always say unusual, then. I like a bit of language pedantry of an evening; precision is a good thing. Unique is a binary, something is or it isn't.

Come to think of it, how about Unique, OP?
Youneek?
Euneke?

Brick 😂😂😂😂

yfffyffyfvvugm

Always remember you are unique, just like everybody else.

Brick is the husband of Maggie in Cat On A Hot Tin Roof.

(Paul Newman in the film version, which is why I remember, because Paul Newman was a god)

Also made famous by the tv programme, Outnumbered, and a genuine name in America.

Venetia
Sibylla
Psyche

Orson
Horatio

Fellatio

Beautiful name

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I get fellatio hornblower in my head. I know that's not his name but oh well.

I thought you’d written cjd for a moment - a fatal brain disease. Would Cyd be short for Cydknee?

Cosmo is a boy’s name. Cosima would be the feminine version.

If you like Cyd, then I would say Sidney for a boy and Sidonie for a girl. Sorted.

It’s gender neutral to use the modern terminology. In old money, it can be used for both.
