List of rather unusual girl's names-can I have your feedback?

[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

Tienette looks pretty but then I started to wonder what it meant and it began to sound like a Gallic aid to pelvic floor problems.

Callia/ Calla - ok, don't love it
Minerva - sounds like a type of car/ van to me
Eulalie (you-lay-lee)- musical instrument (Eucalayle?)
Mimosa -It's a bucks fizz in America - no.
Juno - Alaskan town
Cerelia (se-ray-le-ah) she'll spend her life spelling it
Azalea - hmmm
Lorelei - don't mind it
Ginevra (gin-ev-ra) no

TIA- Like it out of all of them !

Just noticed this thread is still around!

Thank you to everyone who has replied.

kittyonthebeam- thank you for the suggestions. I love Genevieve and like Thalia and Evangeline a lot.

bourboncreme- Your suggestions are some of my favourites too! Penelope, Daphne, Honoria and Cassandra are so pretty. The only one I' m not keen on is Hester.

Haven't finalised a short list as yet so new ideas are useful.

I love Minerva and quite like Juno.

DD3 is Callia (was going to be called Callie for short but she just is a Callia). We were toying with Calantha or Ianthe but went with what seemed like the easiest to pronounce and what went with other DDs names.

Also love Lorelei (Gilmore Girls is one of DH & I's favourite TV programmes) but DD1 is Lilith so it was a bit twee to have a Lilith & Lorelei!

In another life I would have had a Lorelei ...because of the lovely Lorelei song 'Ich weiss nicht was soll es bedeuten ...'.

Juno is sweet too. Minerva not bad - wisdom.

Like Calla, Minerva, Juno and Cerelia

Love, Love, Love different names!!

Lilith was a demon!

...and is the name of our most evil chicken

Atlantis - you've met her?? Do we have DCs at the same playschool?

Cerelia is lovely, there is a character with a similar name - Corelia - in Pompeii by Robert Harris. Has same feel but without the risk of 'cereal' as a nickname.

My daughter is called Juno - we get a lot of surprised/funny looks and people always want an explanation, so be prepared if you choose that or anything else on you list!

Apart from that, my fave is Lorelei.
