Offbeat International Girl Names

[emrys]

Hello! I’m trying to find names that fit these two styles. Names that are more uncommon (specifically in the United States) but also work well across multiple European languages. Some possible examples:

[name_m]Ivo[/name_m], [name_m]Casper[/name_m], [name_m]Albin[/name_m]
[name_f]Alba[/name_f], [name_f]Saskia[/name_f], [name_u]Léonie[/name_u]/Leonie, [name_f]Clio[/name_f]

They can be more offbeat than those! [name_m]Just[/name_m] looking for more girl names that would fit this category.

Thank you!

I’ve starred the ones that I think translate particularly well into multiple languages.

I have a list on here called ‘international eclectic w European flair’ which has pretty much all of these but also a ton of boy names too if that helps!

I think a good pattern to stick to to find names that translate well is to pick names that are essentially -consonant-vowel-consonant-a or a variation on this. E.g. Mona, Leda, Saga

[name_f]Odelia[/name_f] is so lovely! I had [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Odilia[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] on my list for the longest time… and have recently considered [name_f]Odelia[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], too. I would love to meet an [name_f]Odelia[/name_f]/Odilia!
