I love [name]Vesper[/name]! I tend to like names that aren’t very girly or frilly and I don’t mind unisex. I’d rather my kids’ names not be popular at all. Any suggestions?
I think the rhyming factor made me think of this but…
I knew a girl in High School named Hesper, and I always thought her name was really interesting!
I just looked it up and it is Greek and means “[name]Evening[/name] [name]Star[/name]” which I think it very pretty!

That’s one for every letter (almost), let me know if you like any of them.
At first I thought you were looking for alternatives to [name]Vesper[/name], I would have had a few of those as well, my favourite being Poplar.

Oh wow @dearest! Most of these I [name]LOVE[/name]. My husband, unfortunately, tends to be harder to convince. I’m afraid the only ones I might be able to talk him into would be [name]Clary[/name], [name]Juna[/name], [name]Opal[/name] and [name]Wren[/name]. I was beyond surprised when he said he liked [name]Vesper[/name]! Our son’s name is [name]Benton[/name] [name]Grover[/name] by the way.

[name]Vrai[/name] / [name]Vero[/name] ([name]Vero[/name] is ‘true’ in Italian - I’ve seen [name]Vrai[/name] tossed around a bit on these forums, so I don’t know why [name]Vero[/name], which is more name-like in my eyes given its similarities to [name]Vera[/name] and [name]Hero[/name], couldn’t also be an option.)

They might still be a little out there, but I tried to include sounds and letter combinations that he would be familiar with trough other names. And I also have to add that I pluck all these names from my own list, and it only has the more uncommon names, so I’m sure there are some more ‘ordinary’ names you would both love that I haven’t listed, simply because they’re not on my list. [name]Eden[/name] for example.
