Unusual consecutive letter suggestions?

[tripledutch]

Hello
I’m expecting my second child in December. My husband and I would like a name which has an unusual combination of consecutive letters in it. Like Django. We don’t know the sex of the baby so need a girl and boy name. Surname is very plain and starts with a B and middle name will be Marianne or Marcus. I saw a truck with Dhollandia on the back earlier so that sort of thing but a name for a child obviously, not a truck. Can anyone suggest one? TIA

Seriously? Poor kid will be forever pronouncing it and spelling it for people.

The only one that instantly sprang to mind as similar was Ptolemy for a boy. So there might be some other weird and wonderful Ancient Egyptian ones (or other ancient cultures) if you go searching. But do bear in mind the kid has to live with it- even reasonably well known Ptolemy had less than 3 births in the last data, likely as parents think it’s too weird and would be mispronounced.

Some Scandinavian name ideas for you.

Boy
Hjalmar
Esbjörn
Svante
Vilgot
Eskil

Girl
Hjördis
Majvor
Majken
Solbritt
Tekla
Sigrid

Irish names?

But why?

Exactly what I was thinking.

Just choose a name you like. Why does it need to have an unusual combination of consecutive letters?

Xanthe?

This is all about you. Spare a thought for your child being saddled with a name they have to spell out every time.

Well aren’t all names about what the parents like? It’s not like my newborn can name themselves? We have a very plain surname and I want something to be a bit more interesting and I happen to like Django but there is already one in my eldest’s class so just looking for something with a similar vibe. I would say it has to work in the UK though (London). Thank you for the suggestions so far.

Not particularly unusual names, but names with uncommon letter combinations:

Rhys Marcus
Campbell Marcus
Lloyd Marcus
Bodhi Marcus

Autumn Marianne
Ariadne Marianne
Isla Marianne
Niamh Marianne
Esther Marianne
Thalia Marianne
Xanthe Marianne

Enzo?

And what about then forever having to correct spellings and pronunciation

Djanet
Ptolemy
Ptarmigan
Psyche
Djayden
Ngaio
Psmith

Surely this applies to ALL names. Some parents choose overused top 10 names which the child ends up hating.

Rh and Ll are letters in Welsh. Prys and Floyd would fill the brief.

Philip/Philippa
Bjørn
Bjarne
Bjørk
Åse

But they don’t have to spell them out every time which is one less burden.

Chloe
Phoebe
Daphne
Jocelyn
Mhairi
Ffion
Blythe
Iseult / Yseult

Ralph
Claude
Zephyr
Ephraim
Eliezer
Mordecai

Or alternatively pick a name like Dave and see how many silent letters / alternate spellings you can shoehorn in...

Daeighvhe is a perfectly lovely name.

Tadhg

Xavier

Gywneth

It's Gwyneth, @HelloHattie.

Sadhbh (Sive, for a girl)
