I'm not ashamed to admit that want an unusual name for this baby, I don't want her to have the same name as anybody in her class or school. I know that this can still happen with a rare name but it's less likely.

So I need your wise thoughts on my names and more suggestions of rare names which are not likely to become popular in the future.

what do you think of the following:

Euphemia
Delilah
Juniper
Perdita
Isolde
Drusilla
Magdalen
Pandora
Cressida
Vi ola
Ismene

more suggestions please.

Delilah is nice, have you considered Adelaide, Henriette, Kezia, Magdalena, Soraya?

Drusilla is a zoo down our way, and a puppy murderer, dont do it!

Random thoughts:

My DS2 was going to be Beatrix, there are a lot of Beatrices round our way.

Magdalen was the name of a dear aunt of mine. Always thought it was an odd name, so really pleased it's quite popular here.

I know a couple of girls called Hero.

Cosmo is a boy's name, how about Cosima?

I have a friend called Winsome (middle name Ferelith sp????)

Also have a cousin and a god-daughter called Araminta. Two Mintys on my family tree. /
