Alternatives to these names

[mummysmagicmedicine]

Hi
I am looking for some alternatives to these names or names we may like if this is what we like, we cannot use these as they’re either very common where we are and we prefer unique names, or we can’t use because we know someone with this name. DH is a teacher which doesn’t help things🙈.

Ivy
Freya
Florence
Ottilie
Matilda/Tillie
Margot
Charlotte
Emilia
Clara
Rosa

Felix
Theodore
Arthur
Jasper
Albie (Albert)
Jude
Connor
Spencer

Honestly OP, just go with what you like. In reality having a relatively common name or knowing someone with your child’s name really does not matter.

Idony
Frida
Frances
Odette
Melusine
Manon
Scarlett
Emmeline
Cara
Rosalie

Pollux
Tad, Todd or Isidore
Ansel
Gaspar
Arne/Arno - I think there's Scandi literary character with this name
Jonah
Conan
Penrose

I tried to mix some common names, just in case... I don't think I would use some of them, but maybe some names took fancy to you.

Ebony
Fleur
Amber
Odette
Evie
Leah
Rochelle
Coral/Coralie

Conall
Fletcher
Dalton

Adding Odette, Manon, Scarlett, Emmeline and Cara to the girls list! And Jonah to the boys list, thank you😊

I love all of these thank you!

The only name on this list that isn’t popular near me is manon. I really think you should just call your baby your favourite name. Names are popular for a reason. If it’s unpopular there is probably a reason for that too.

to be fair Manon is a lovely name 🥰

@mummysmagicmedicine Love your lists! I considered all of them when I was pregnant. We had a little girl and went with Nina. She is 2.5 now and most people comment on how lovely it is. Quite uncommon but not wacky

Maia/ Maya
Fae
Flora
Amalia
Anouk

I was thinking of names the other day because someone asked.

I like Martha and Heidi and Anna.

For a boy I like Daniel or Stanley.

That was about all I came up with I'm afraid, and I guess not particularly unique.

I like Xanthe and Felicity. Jens or Nils for a boy.

Can't think of alternative names for the whole list but have you thought of:
Ivor
frayed
florid
Marge
Con artist
spendthrift
Manson?

Odour and Mingie are also lovely and - if not unique - individual.
