Truly unique and pretty girls names?

[skipdiddyskip]

We’re looking for actually unique girls names for dd2 please (first dd has very unique name so need something to match!). Keep googling lists and they come up with names like “Tracey”, “Chloe” which are lovely names but I wouldn’t say unique! Please help.

Is it common?

I’m sure there were Tamar’s before and after the biblical Tamar who managed not to sleep with their father in law, I know a Patrica she’s not a stripper and a Roxanne who’s not a prostitue!! If the name is beautiful the rest is irrelevant.

Benet, Aphra and Saethryd

@BoligrafoYou’ve actually got one out of the three!

Our new granddaughter is called Bloom. It’s growing on me (pardon the pun!).

@DillanegasmsIt’s not Storm. I know a couple of them.

Not truly unique but off the top of my head:

Posie, Tulip, Honeysuckle, Blossom, Kitty

For ‘truly unique’ you’ll need to make something up. Like that instagrammer who has Oriavella and Renaelia. Quite the mouthful but she seems utterly lovely and fair play for going for it.

Made up but may exist somewhere!:
Fylie
Araila
Maxelle
Octania
Savella
Ettalie (actually love that 😆)
Havenna
Javie

Non-unique, actual names of women I know, but only know one of:

Jera
Oenone (eh-no-nee, love it)
Kyrie (Kerry-ay)

Mirabelle
Addeline
Emmeline
Celeste
Bronwyn

Constanza

Oh come on.

She wants a very unusual name.

This isn't Pedants' Corner...

Oh is that the snow Spider and linnet was a girl with the plague?

Meadow
Emerald
Oceane
Lumi
Elowyn
Greer
Fawn
Eleri

@mathanxiety , there's no such thing as very unique. OP uses 'truly unique', 'actually unique' and 'very unique', yet we don't know if she means a name unlike any other, a name that is highly unusual, or a name that is outside the top 100.

How about Qetsiyah (alternative spelling Ketzia)? Apparently it’s a Hebrew name and means cinnamon.

I once knew a girl with that name and she was extremely bright, creative and sassy. Her lovely sister is Danaka = morning star.

Not unique, but probably fairly rare across the general population:

My guilty secret as a campaigner for”ordinary”names is that my friend has a baby girl called Story and I absolutely love it…..

And again, this isn't Pedants' Corner.

Zamfira. I wanted to call DD this but DH vetoed it.

There were eight babies born with DD2’s name the year she was born. It’s everywhere now, and is THE Mumsnet marmite name. She was named after my great aunt who disappeared during WW2.
