[tweedledumdum]

A few rather unusual names for you to give feedback on. I appreciate that they may not be to everyone's taste.....

Callia/ Calla
Minerva
Eulalie (you-lay-lee)
Mimosa
Juno
Cerelia (se-ray-le-ah)
Azalea
Lorelei
Ginevra (gin-ev-ra)

TIA

they are all really horrible though.

eulalie sounds like ukalele

hope you live in poshville - or hippyville, cos your kid mightfind it hard at school.

minosa isnt that a cocktail?

minerva sounds like the pill

I don't like any of them (and I have a very unusual name which I like very much) because they all sound well a bit silly. For me Eulalie is probably the worst - too sing song, and I don't think that the "eu" sound is a good one - who wants their name to start with a "eweugh". Cerelia is fairly unattractive too.

o thought it was more
'u' than 'eww' - like Eugenia?

Isnt Mimosa a cocktail?

I quite like Eualalie!

All too fiddly sounding

There is a Tia in DD's class at school.

Posy- the 'eu' in Eulalie would be pn the same as the 'eu' in Eugenie

Eugenie is a pretty name too.

Tienette

pronounced like Henriette but with a T (hope that makes sense)

Genevieve

Thalia

Evangeline

I really like Lorelai. Mimosa is a drink to me so that's out. Callie is ok, not sure about Calla.

Juno is so pretty.I like Lorelei too.How about Circe,Isis,Psyche,Iolanthe

Psyche as a name?

Dont do Psyche. She will be called Fish at school.

From your original list, Id go with Juno or Ginevra.

Or Psycho, quite possibly.

I like something like Calla but am more keen on Callie - perhaps short for Calista? Or Kali like the Hindu goddess.

I'm originally from the west coast of North America where every second boy is a Kai and most girls are now named Montana, Dakota or after other random places. My nieces are called Tavia and Rayne and my nephew is Cael. At first I scoffed but all the names have grown on me and suit each of them. Go with what you like - traditional or unusual someone else is always going to hate it! (Or love it ).

Thanks for the encouragement careylou

Callia, Callie,Calista are great.
Also love Ginevra from original list
Lorelei is good. So is Juno
Not so keen on the others but I might
think differently if i knew one after all
you tend not to like what you don't know

If you are looking for something Greek or Roman gosddess like wghat about,Penelope or Daphne or Cassandra (although not very nice story),alternatively Hester or Honoria

A really interesting list of names!

I like Calla, Ginevra and Eulalie.

I like Eulalie, Juno and Lorelei.

I only LOVE Minerva but that's because it was our 1st choice if this baby was a girl.

I'm having a boy though and really struggling with names.

I'd be sooo happy if someone used the name Minerva.

Callia/ Calla - maybe
Minerva - yes
Eulalie (you-lay-lee) - yes
Mimosa - maybe
Juno - yes
Cerelia (se-ray-le-ah) - no
Azalea - no
Lorelei - yes
Ginevra (gin-ev-ra) - maybe

Lorelei or Ginevra

Loreli is lovely.

I like Mimosa, Eulalie and Juno. Unfortunately I hate the others, particularly Lorelei which is not IMO mysterious or beautiful. it is a bungalow in Chiswick.
