Running out of Time! PLEASE help! Unusual Girls names?

I am really running out of time. I cannot find any name for my little girl that is due [name_u]June[/name_u] 10th! 5 days away!

I don’t want a name that is popular…I want her to have a name that will make people go, “Oh, I’ve never heard of that one before”, or “That’s unique”, “that’s really cool”, or something like that.

I love the names [name_u]Dove[/name_u], [name_f]Snow[/name_f], [name_u]Scout[/name_u], and [name_u]Story[/name_u] “Stor”, but I think I shouldn’t go with word names. [name_f]My[/name_f] mother wouldn’t like that. Also “Stor” sounds so badass, which I love, but I fear it sounds too close to “thor”, and I don’t like thor.

I also like [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] very much, but it since it’s also a food I’m afraid that someone will look at it like another “apple”.

I feel like I’ve seen and heard of every name there is. Can you please suggest an unusual name that you wouldn’t expect many other girls to have?

[name_u]Auden[/name_u]
[name_f]Ina[/name_f]
[name_f]Mitzi[/name_f]
[name_f]Tamsin[/name_f]
[name_f]Zora[/name_f]
[name_u]Cedar[/name_u]
[name_f]Baylor[/name_f]
[name_f]Dita[/name_f]
[name_f]Vita[/name_f]
[name_f]Aviva[/name_f]

There are so many uncommon names! And it’s your child, not your mother’s, so pick a name you like!

[name_m]How[/name_m] about
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] - subtle nature connection
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] - like [name_f]Willow[/name_f]
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f]
[name_u]Drew[/name_u]
[name_u]Marlowe[/name_u]

[name_f]Sarah[/name_f]
[name_f]Christine[/name_f]
[name_f]Keira[/name_f] or [name_f]Kiera[/name_f]

Word names that have some history of name usage probably wouldn’t shock your family:
[name_f]Verity[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_f]Lark[/name_f]
[name_u]Skye[/name_u]
[name_f]Blossom[/name_f]
[name_f]Marigold[/name_f]
[name_u]Ever[/name_u]
[name_f]Liberty[/name_f]
[name_u]Lyric[/name_u]

To get to Stor/[name_u]Story[/name_u] (I don’t think it sounds like [name_m]Thor[/name_m] at all. I’d never make the connection, though I would think of “store,” like where you buy stuff)
[name_f]Astoria[/name_f]

I think [name_u]Scout[/name_u] can work as a nickname for basically any name. If you have a name you adore, I think your mom can deal with it.

I think most people know [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] is a name so I don’t think most people would look at it like naming her [name_f]Apple[/name_f] or Pear.

You have some great names on your list - if those are the ones you love, I’d narrow it from there.

You typically need to have thick skin if you are going with an
unusual name. [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] is pretty mainstream compared to quite a few choices I’ve heard lately. Here are a few suggestions:

[name_f]Lotus[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilya[/name_f]
[name_f]Cady[/name_f]
[name_f]Ebba[/name_f]
[name_f]Lupe[/name_f]
[name_f]Astra[/name_f]
[name_f]Lyra[/name_f]
[name_f]Birdie[/name_f]
[name_f]Verona[/name_f]
[name_f]Hilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Junia[/name_f]
[name_f]Dot[/name_f]
[name_f]Petal[/name_f]
[name_f]Flossie[/name_f]
[name_f]Flore[/name_f]

Thanks so much guys! I might just use a name from my original list. You’re right, it’s my kid, and she’ll get used to it.

From the suggestions I love [name_u]Fable[/name_u], [name_f]Sally[/name_f], and [name_f]Persephone[/name_f]! I also love [name_f]Miriam[/name_f].

Note [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] is NOT like [name_f]Apple[/name_f] because it has a history as a name

[name_u]Elia[/name_u]
Amélie (a-[name_f]MAY[/name_f]-lee)
[name_f]Cassiopeia[/name_f]
[name_f]Iphigenia[/name_f]
[name_f]Hypatia[/name_f]

[name_u]Domino[/name_u]

definitely meets the bada** criteria in my opinion.

[name_f]Novalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Romilly[/name_f]
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f]
[name_f]Marielle[/name_f]
[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f]
[name_f]Noor[/name_f]
[name_f]Liora[/name_f]
[name_f]Leda[/name_f] ([name_f]LAYda[/name_f])
[name_f]Lotta[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] (Clah-ra)
[name_f]Callisto[/name_f]
[name_f]Briony[/name_f]/[name_f]Bryony[/name_f]
[name_f]Melisande[/name_f]
[name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_f]Amoret[/name_f]
[name_f]Nella[/name_f]
[name_f]Freya[/name_f]
[name_f]Georgina[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]/[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]/[name_f]Rosaline[/name_f]
[name_f]Danae[/name_f]
[name_f]Lotte[/name_f] (Lot-teh)

[name_f]My[/name_f] first thought was [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] nn story. What about [name_f]Clemency[/name_f]/[name_f]Clementina[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]?

[name_f]Eira[/name_f] (meaning snow)
[name_f]Neva[/name_f] (white snow)
Eirlys
[name_f]Aura[/name_f]
[name_f]Azure[/name_f]/[name_f]Azura[/name_f]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f]
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f]
[name_f]Calla[/name_f]
[name_f]Ania[/name_f]
[name_f]Aveline[/name_f]
[name_f]Lavinia[/name_f]

We named our baby girl, born in [name_u]December[/name_u], [name_u]Reeve[/name_u] [name_f]Lauren[/name_f]. We love our choice! It’s unusual but it sounds unisex and classic, in my opinion :slight_smile:

[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] would be very sweet and not to weird at all… I also love the suggestion of [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] with Stor as a nick name.

[name_f]Ginevra[/name_f]
[name_u]Halcyon[/name_u]
[name_u]Adair[/name_u]
[name_u]Jodie[/name_u]
