Me and my partner have been thinking of unusual girl names. We like Brook, but cant think of a middle name... We like different so no names like Sarah and Louise please (not that they are horrible names or anything) If you can think of any it would be fantastic. We are not pregnant yet but just organised - or sad! lol.

Mena, Mira, Shannyn:
Three of my favourite unusual girls names.
I'd pick one of those for my daughter.

Also, Imara sticks in my mind as an unusual girls name.
And my mom says I'd have been called Heather if I was a girl.

None of those follow Brook to comfortably though. Maybe I'll shut up.

The topic is a bit unrelated to General Sheffield chat though eh?!

Would you be interested in the following:-

http://www.panix.com/~mittle/names/

http://www.kabalarians.com/male/mediev-m.htm

I know how hard it is to name a baby we did everything from looking at the credits at the end of a film to reading every name book the libary had!!we ended up naming our daughter,Erin.

Maybe India, Annaliese

I had the same problem when my daughter was born. Trying to not use Sarah Claire etc (nothing wrong with them just not me) but didnt want to go too far that she sounded like some sort of undiscovered disease or other. I ended with Holly and middle name Amber. Bit traditional but not your run of the mill name.

Navaeh is my fave girls name its said "niv eiya" but spealt heaven backwards. Im not sure but a famous rock star named his daughter that i love it.

My middle name is jane its been passed down through the family so iv got to keep it and navaeh jane sounds nice

Chrystal
Sophie
Bella
Heather
Stephanie

etc.

Cheers jack, moved to General chat.

My mother's name - Roseann

One girls name i hate for some reason is Tammy - so many negative connotations linked with it!

I always thought this was a cool website for names

www.behindthename.com

Neve is a nice one, spelt differently the Irish way, Niamh, and Alexandra.
When i had my lad, if he was a girl he was gonna be called Georgia, 2 reasons one he was due and born on St George's day and the other i would have called her George which i think is a cool name for a girl. Harriet is also a good one to shorten to Harry.

How about Tehya?

Tehya is North American Indian for precious. Would have bene my son's name had he been a girl.

I also think Esme and Lola are lovely names that are rarely used these days.

I like Eirlys, its Welsh for snowdrop.

Or, Ceridwen, again Welsh, meaning poetic or blessed poetry.

What goes after Brook?

Hard to think of anything except

Lynn
Shields
Bond

Sorry.....

Assuming that one of you can get pregnant, and assuming that you have a baby girl, and assuming that you do call her Brook in the end, what would her surname begin with? Have you decided which surname to give her? Only you would need to know what her initials would be.

For example, Brook Moor wouldnt want the middle name of Ursula, right?

So, more info required please

Just finished reading Dark Materials trilogy and quite taken with the name Lyra at the mo

This is not the most constructive of websites, but I guarantee you'll find some unusual names......and it's really funny.

http://www.notwithoutmyhandbag.com/babynames/index.html

My middle names are Crystal and Abigail and my sister's are Chelsea and Sophie

:D

Wish I had a different name :(

I am always thinking of unusual names, but then half the time they're so unusual that I forget them again :rolleyes:

I really love Scarlet and Lily at the moment Also like Isabelle. And Lorien (as in Lothlorien from LOTR) as a middle name. Other LOTR names I like are Yavanna and Varda ;)

The one I liked from here was: "I've suggested to my sister that she name her little girl to be - Manchester. She's not sure about it but she's considering. What do you think?"

I think she can be called Manchester if she has strange ways.*

*credit to John Shuttleworth for that gag.

Imogen is nice, I love Immy :P

I also love Pheobe, it's so so so cute :D

Kitty! Its a lovely name.

I remember in the 90's hearing about a woman in Sheffield who had called her poor unfortunate daughter T'Pau. I saw her in a magazine article and then later, whilst out shopping in Hilsborough, I saw her!! She was in the shoping centre, shouting at the top of her voice, "T'Pau, come her now!"

That poor girl. Everyone stopped and stared at her. She was about 6 or 7 then so I hate to think what her teenage years were like.

Before the last world cup, some twit from my hometown called their son Michael Owen David Seaman - how sad is that?

Found these in a book from the 1930's. They are names that were apparently popular back then:

amelia
beatrice
cecilia
constance
coralie
estelle
eva
flora
grace
gwendoline
harriet
joyce
lillian
lydia
ophelia
penelope
rosalind
selina

Just a thought....

thanks for all your help guys just keep them coming. So far we like scarlet, caitlin, shannon and sophia

How about Beatrice, Tabitha (you have to be carefull with that one though so you dont end up sounding like a porn-star!), Florence, Gabrielle (also good for a boy!), Lauren, Ariana???

I can think of a lot of unusual girls, but I can't remember their names!!:rolleyes:

You want unusual? Try mine. Dilys. Say no more.
The trouble is it suits me. I am not run of the mill. I am me. Now, I like it :loopy:

Do you pronounce that like 'dills'? If so then maybe not cos my cat is called Dillon - Dills for short. :P

Could always name her after the winning horse....

Amber Leigh

Its kinda nice or maybe Im just bonkers :loopy:

How about "Bernard"? - you have to admit - its a pretty unusual name for a girl :loopy:

Check out this for some nice ideas:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/3268161.stm

I think if i had twins, then "melton" and "mobray" would be perfect names.

Edd

Mosh - I can see that one being voted down "hey, let's name her after a horse" !

One of my favourites (not all that unusual I s'pose) is Verity

Cool concept of Heaven backwards, but reading the pronounciation isn't that like nivea as in the face cream?? -Why did nivea cream? Because max factor! (Sorry couldn't resist)

I have a fav girls name, which is actually a village in a foreign country, that I doubt anyone has heard of. The translation actually means hair! I can't possibly tell anyone on here though, as I want the unusual to stay unusual!!!

I had a friend called Larushka (Lar roosh ka) which I always thought was a great name, her parents made it up!

Like you, I have the tradition of a middle name. My son's middle name would have to have Edward. Daughter, Victoria.
I quite like the name Edward, these sort of names are becoming popular again - Eddy!
My Grandma was called Rosa, a.k.a Rosie. This sounded odd when I was a kid, but I actually think it's quite cool now! Funny how old names come back.

i like Kayani,India,Atlanta,Alana,Mercia to name a few.
i ended up callin my daughters Phoebe and Olivia. x

Starla is a fairly unusual girls name too!!!

Hey! There's nothing wrong with my middle names! At least I'm not a Caprice Louise or a Caprice common as dog muck!

i got 2 daughters, the eldest is called keren and the youngest is called alba

Imagine owning a Restaurant and having two daughters called SAM 'n ELLA.:loopy:

By far the most unusual girl's name that I have ever encountered is Binlingawinga.

it is so unusual, I don't believe it actually exists.

Weird isn't it?

Now you're really bugging me trying to work out who at 6th form you are! At least I know who you're friends with...





You are the one from Tapton aren't you?

Whilst it is nice to give your offspring an unusual name.......remember THEY are the ones who have to live with it and tolerate the torment which goes hand in hand with ANYTHING remotely different. I went through HELL at school because of my middle name to the point where I cried..and even skipped school on occasion. I have dropped that name totally and it isn't on any other documentation other than my birth cert. Yeah, it is great to have a unusual name...but don't be too cruel!!!!

I once met a Bulgarian girl called Ninjiptaglinta, pronounced Catherine, which I thought was rather nice.

Ohhhh now my mind is whirring around with endless possibilities... Have to admit my middle name is a bit odd (unless you are Welsh in which case it's not ) if I give you a clue about mine will you give us a clue about yours ? (I suspect not if you have gone to those lengths to get away from it but my curiosity meant I had to at least ask :P )

Caprice.... you're just trying to offend everyone all the time aren't you!!! :P
My middle name is Louise.
Working in nurseries I see loads of strange names.
Must admit I love Charlotte. My niece is Olivia Charlotte. I like Scarlet too, but it has to suit the child, if you get what I mean!?

nia is my favourite it means princess.
haf is another.it means summer.

I also like Zaphodia.

unusual girls name eh? how about: Barry.

How bout Bonny! just kidding.

Rudy (my favourite for personal reasons)
celeste
roxanne/ roxanna
fleur
freya
ooh I can thinks of loads

My brother-in-law named his daughter Misha

What about Snortella? That's nice.

Frogmella is quite unusual:D

most unusual girls name i have come accross is Zapporah, i quite like it though.

I am currently 6mths pregnant and i know that i am having a girl we have named her Kerianne, we are stuck on a middle name for her, any ideas? :help:

Dont name your kids after anything that is a product (eg levi, armani) or anything that is really famous for there name (eg jordan, prince, madonna)

If you pick a daft name and your kids get bullied.... well it's your fault

:thumbsup: be a bit more sensible.

Yep im sure its a baby name book its called "40,001 best baby names" by Diane Stafford if i remember rightly i got it from WH Smith, its got loads of different lists in. Like..

'Names thats give you a leg up in life'
' Famous ganster names'
' Made up names'
'Over the top names to avoid'
'Names for children of Lesbians and Gays'

etc..

Just joking :)

The reason for my warning regarding naming a child, so you all know....nothing to do with a drunken Dad or an inept Registrar.

1965... next door neighbour.... new baby boy.
They wanted to name him with a posh moniker.

Norman St.John Stevas, the politician, was always in the news.

They decided to call him St. John....but it was pronounced Sintgen Stevas on the television.

Their intelligence did not match their spelling...the baby ended up being christened Singeon. ( No offence meant in anyway to our Indian readers).

The child must have had constant problems explaining his name at school and in later life, at work.:loopy:

My daughter is called Andorra, where I met her father (way before the Beckhams did it).

I have a child in one of my Relax Kids classes called Seren, which is welsh for star. She fits her name really well, she's lovely.

Ruby

Mia

Sophia

Just a few that I came up with when I was pregnant last year, not too common and not too unusual. My boys are name Quinn & Leo. Not too Chavvy I hope.

My new granddaughter, who is 5 weeks old is called Freya which I really like. Last night her mum revealed that her middle name was to be Seres which I cannot decide on. It doesnt sound like a real name. I think Seres is Roman ... but now you mention it I think Seren is nicer. Will suggest this.

They all sound good names. :thumbsup:

Seriously, its worth being aware that a name can 'tar' you for life. There was an isue about a discussion on the TES forum a few months ago (story was on the BBC news site) where teachers had been discussing names of kids. It seemed that certain names or types of names were associated with 'trouble makers'. One teacher had said that he used to go down the register of his new class every year highlighting names he thought literally spelled trouble! :o

ahrisa ... sounds like the moroccan spicy sauce you eat with couscous

neve - means snow in spanish; lovely

Zipporah is a name from the bible. It means "little Bird"

Nieve is spanish for snow.

[u]]Neve[i/] is Irish, normally spelt "Niamh", properly pronounced "neeef" (it means "bright, Radiant")

I also like the name "Aiofe" which is gaelic for "Eve" (breath of life") it's pronounced in a similar way to Niamh.

I like the irish-y names, I always wanted a daughter, to name Eilish which is gaelic for Elisabeth, (can also be spelt Ailish ).

Elisabeth is from the hebrew Elisheba which means "consecrated to god" Elisabeth is a family name on my mother's side, given as a middle name, in each generation of females.

I like Megan/ Meaghan, (pearl) also.

Ruby, Mia, Sophia... beautiful names.

I always worry about the little kids who are saddled with deliberately outlandish names. The poor little buggers are probably teased horribly - or worse - by the time they get to school.

But PT said it was 'neef' yet that girl out of scream is NEVE.. said and spelt like that.

too much effort going into names! pick one that means something to you or just sounds nice...... being totally original may just ruin years of your kids life!

neef is the proper pronunciation, not the USA'n way.

of course, you can spell your name buff-orpington-rhodeisland red, and tell folks it's pronounced "bed" if you like (look at the surname "marjoribanks"- that's pronounced "marchbanks" or Cholmondleigh-Warner- "Chumly warner"


P-T ( but it's pronounced "Squibble-Bibble Essent" ;) )

adding a P-S

Siobhan- is the gaelic for Joanne, and pronounced "shi-vaurn/ or shi-vonn"

the bh and mh in gaelic, is a soft V-meets F sound, as in free.

(another gaelic name is Mhairhi? it's pronounced "vairee")

Its actually Cholmondeley or Cholmondesley.

Other examples are
Beauchamp (Beecham);
Cockburn (Coburn:
Featherstonehaugh (Fanshaw);
Menzies (Mingis);
Woolfhardisworthy (Woolsey).

Some of these appear to derive from Anglicised versions of Norman-French names, although not all.

Not going against what you said, PT, but I wonder if pronunciation differs between Irish Gaelic and Scottish Gaelic?

I have a couple of (distantish) relatives from the Scottish Isles called Mhairi, and they pronounce it 'Maari'.

Fascinating subject.

StarSparkle :)

My neice is called Faime and the other is Kalyca (kaleeka). They both really suit their names... Kalyca gets called Leaky for short!

Yes, starsparkle, there are a few, very minor differences in pronunciation between Irish gaelic, and Scottish "gallic"

same as spanish... the way spanish is spoken in spain, compared to the way it is spoken in the south american countries where it is the national language,
In spain, ibiza is pronounced "EE bee Ther"

In south america, it's "ee beesss- er"

My grandaughter is called Brice

Englebert is a very unusual girls name.

And Dave.

Do I win £5?

how about ~Flavia~ its latin!

there was one name that i loved in australia.. Arianna.. :D

My 4 year old daughter told me the other day "mummy, when I am a big lady I'm going to be called Ruby" why I asked you name is lovely. "because everyone calls me that anyway"

her name is Rudy

A (female) American student I taught had the first name Lykara--I asked her if it was Greek and she said her mother had just made it up! It does sound classical though.

I know this is a GIRLS name thread, but this is so funny:-

mr H, your post brought to mind an incident about 10/15 yrs ago.

Mmy ex hubby was involved in a youth exchange with an allied youth-group in Bergen, Norway.

One of the lads who came over was called Kjetl.

It wasn't pronounced "kyettle" mind you, in Norwegian, the K-J is a "sheh" sound, so he was a "Sheyttel".

(cf the towns of Byskopskjoping" Bishops sherping" and Bykyoping sorry can't get the alt- letter for the o with a mark)

Hmm, I considered Celeste until I found out it was a brand of the contraceptive pill!

LOL. How about Celestine then? That's pretty similar. I think it's a charater in one of Agatha Christie's books, but I can't remember which one.

Hmm, not sure, maybe a bit much. Anyway it's too late now she is called Rudy after another girl I knew when I was younger.

I read that as 'Ruby' at first. I've never come across a Rudy before. It's nice. Reminds me of apples for some reason. Not sure why.

How evil can you get ppn.

How about Afrodizziac for a girl's name.

Hiya, I always say I would call a baby girl Lily, Angel or Cherry.

I was going to be called Cherry or Allanah, but my mum chose Laurel-Jade instead.

My sisters are called.... Brittany and India Lily

My brothers are called....Brook and Dimirti.

Kitty! Its a lovely name.

T'Pau?! Sounds like something they'd call a Vulcan on Star Trek.

Not suggesting you're a pointy eared Star Trek alien or owt, don't worry.

You ain't seen nothin' yet... ;)

There are some lovely unusual names, but in general I prefer the more traditional ones myself; Emma, Lucy, Olivia, Charlotte, Jane... Ellie is nice too, and Kate.

I had two sons, but if we had had a girl she would have been called "Hero" after the character in Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing"

That sounds super... Sorry :) .

Everybody would sing there Mariah Carey classic to her though :hihi:

Or the Bonnie Tyler one.

My name's Leon. I'm a girl and I like it!

I'm the only female Leon I know - let's have some more!!

Sounds nice to me Leon.... what should we name them all.... how about a Dick... as in short for Richard.... or Fanny.... as in short for.... think I have to go now. :D

my dad is calling his baby STORM for a girl grows on u after a while


let us know what u decide on

Sorry! Couldn't read all the pages to check I hadn't already posted! lol

My girls (if I could have kids) would have been called Elsbeth and Evelyn. I like names that can be shortened but also used to love the name Maisy.
I think there's now a kid's program with a mouse called Maisy, so possibly not a great idea!

I like this name, but I think it should be spelt with a 'p': Elspeth. It's the Scottish form of Elizabeth...

My best friend at junior school was called Elspeth - I've always thought it was a really pretty name.

StarSparkle :)

Starla is lovely Evildrneil, and yes Tabitha, as in Tabitha Cash. French Porn person.

I like the concept of the name Stella/Stellar (star) but I don't like the sound of it too much. I have to say I use it as an adjective more often than not, in the superlative sense.

Btw, "Mosh" in French would mean ugly (moche).

My reasons for the bad choice of Celeste.

Over the years, I've met several women with men's names, which is rather intriguing: Scott, Kevin, Ryan and Jeffery.

Really??

If I was a guy, I would never ever go out with a girl called Scott, Kevin, Ryan or Jeffery lol.

Maybe her father never wanted her to have a boyfriend! lol.

"My reasons for the bad choice of Celeste."

Sounds somewhat elephantine, in a sort of angelic way :loopy:

x_sunshine_x: My friend Pete married Jeffery, and Scott (came from a surname on her mother's side) was married as well. Kevin and Ryan were suit-wearing, serious businesswomen; I don't know if they had trouble getting dates.

Queen Celeste was the name of Babar The Elephant's wife, in the children's books (and films)

ok i posted my serious answers before... but i'm a tad jovial today so here is my odd suggestion

"bob"

i would certainly be unique... for a girl any way...

I've just heard the name Freya and think that sounded like a beautiful name!

It's a beautiful name. Freya was the Norse goddess of love :) .

I have a niece called EternityLove and another called Matilda Summer, I consider both of those quite unusual !!

Me and my partner have been thinking of unusual girl names. We like Brook, but cant think of a middle name... We like different so no names like Sarah and Louise please (not that they are horrible names or anything) If you can think of any it would be fantastic. We are not pregnant yet but just organised - or sad! lol.

Why not try Destini?you dont want normal names and Brook Destini has a ring to it.Why not JOIN thr names and have Brok-Destini or Destini-Brook?xxxxx:)

I`m glad I had 3 boys, me and oh couldn`t agree on any girls names!

I know this is an old thread, and I have resisted posting in kids names threads before, but, you can't be serious genie?

My friend recently called their daughter Millie, and I think it's lovely, (better than Molly, which was their earlier thought)
Francesca I like, but wouldn't suit my surname. Erin and Evie are becoming common names now, I know at least 3 amongst my friends kids names.

Tegan? hmmm, best not comment on this, I don't want to upset any fellow forummers who may have picked it:suspect:
