Hi...I just found out that I am pregnant with baby #3 and am starting to look into baby names. We're hoping for a girl, but I'm having trouble finding a name we both like. We like names that not everyone has or is familiar with...any suggestions???
our daughter is named Isbabella Grace. we call her bella grace(Beautiful Grace- for us, as in God's Beautiful Grace).
but! this one name my husband found was Arabella pronounce like air-a-bella.. it grew on me after a while..lol at first i thought what the heck! lol still could have called her Bella.
other 'different' names we had were Tallulah, Raven,Lorelei, Rhiannon, Amelia,Lara,Alila,Eliana, Desiree, Maru, Keara,Daria, Paisley, Willow, Sarafina(another one of my husbands..lol) , Nina, Mia, Ashton.
Good luck.. lol
what may be 'different' for us may not be 'different' for others.. but maybe there is something in there to get you on a path to finding one.
Well if you are looking for girl names that are unique, my name is Nissa. I have only meet one other girl with my name and she spelled Nyssa. My name is scandiniavian meaning little elf or brownie, and arabic it means women. I believe that thier are Nissa Dolls in Norway(?) Thought I would put in my two cents b/c my name is not common.
Nissa
If I ever had a little girl (3 boys) I was going to name her one of the following: Aspen, Riley, Mykela, Bailey, Rikiaya or Kalani..
Those are just different names I had liked and I don't like normal very much
That's so hard to say because everyone's taste is different.
Maybe try defining each of your parameters. For instance, we knew we didn't like vowel names for girls.
Remember, while you want it to be unique, you also need to remember that they have to learn to write and spell it. My sister named her dau. Elizabeth and in some ways wishes they'd picked something easier to spell or had a simple short form.
They also have to grow with their name. How would they feel being 35 years old with too trendy a name. It's cute when their little, but how does that look on a business card.
We started by going through our family tree and listing all the names we each liked. Then we made derivitives of those. Or tried different combos.
some of the names we liked for girls were: Rebecca, Lillian, Emma (the only vowel name we could remotely handle), Lucy, Mary, Sarah,
Our daughter's name is Braylee. I also like the name Bevan or Bevin.
I also like unique names. Our daughter is named Ambrazia. A mix of Amber and Anastasia, and we came up with Ambrazia. Good luck.
It seems by your boys names that biblical is what you like, try the bible for some ideas, run through that - might give you some ideas.
When we adopted our little guy we bought an Irish names book and found some great ideas.
I happen to LOVE Olivia, Kathryn, Rori, and Gray (we were going to use Rori-Gray.
Our neighbors named there girls Irish and Seven, yes thats true.
Good luck first with the pregnancy and second with the name. Now I know why you need new lunch ideas, you HAVE to eat :)
We have named our daughter Sapphire Rylee.. We also had names Jayden, Hayden, Pearl, Olivia, Baylee...
You could always look at names that our like jewels, flowers, trees, or stuff like to come up with unique names.
In staying with your "I" trend for nams, how about Inga? Also, we used the Celtic Baby name book for our children, who are Aidan (which turned out to be NOT such a unique name!), and Fiona. They have some very unique names in the book, but it could also give you other ideas. I'm big on name meanings, and being Irish/Scottish, I wanted to keep with that background. Do you have a particular background you'd like to stay with? Perhaps bibilical names, like the other two? Taegyn (prounounced TAY-GIN, with a hard G, like in green) is a Welsh name that I love. We also loved Maeve (mave), and Siobbhan (sha-von), and Nellie (after my grandma). good luck and congrats!
I have a 15 month old daughter and when I was pregnant, my husband and I had the same problem. We named our daughter Cameron Isabella, but we had thought of...Tenae and Aliah. This might help you a little.
How about Isabella? It goes with the "i" thing. Well, I suppose my name is different too, it's Branden and pronounced like the guys name. Never met anyone with that before, but I will tell you it wasn't until 8th grade that I decided it was a cool name for a girl. Until then I was Brandy and no one knew my real name, and I'll tell you what, you dont' want to get too unique with names because while it might sound good now, it can really sound bad in the future. Imagine if your mom had named you Apple or Willmetta or something like that. Too trendy of a name can make the parent (not the child) feel "cool" for a little bit but you're going to get some strange looks at the park yelling that out. Also, don't forget how unforgiving children can be. Make sure that while it's different, it's not something that your child is going to catch hell about all through her school life. I dunno, just some food for thought.
Hey, my daughter's name is Alivia (like Olivia but with an A) and I love it!
My fiance likes unisex names. So far we have had 2 girls, and we named one Charlee and the other Andee. So since you like different names, maybe try a boys name for a girl. Also, maybe try an older name, like Jack or henry for a boy.
I love the name Evelyn, you could call her Eve or Evey.
Abbigail, and instead of Abby you could call her Gail.
It's difficult to pick names for your children. The question is do you give them a traditional name that he/she will have to live up to, or do you give them an original name and let them make it their own.
My name is Leila (lee-eye-la) and means Dark as Night. I love my name, but it can be difficult for many to pronounce it correctly. We named our daughter Cerenity Adele. My coworkers 2 month old is named Jovee. (Just a few ideas!)
But the most important thing to remember is just to have fun, and don't stress out about it. You've got time, and when you least expect it, the name will come to you and you'll be wondering why you hadn't thought of it before!
Good luck and God Bless.
Hi....
I just thought about this name when I read the names of your boys. Keeping with you "I"s how about Isabella? or Isabelle?
Philippa
Antigone
Elise
I like the name Emerson. Could be spelled a little differently for a girl though. My fiance and I definitely don't agree on that one. He's more traditional, I am not.
Good luck.
Shiloh
Camdynn (Cami for short)
Leighton
Liam
Brielle or Briella
