Hello! This is my first post so if I mess anything up please let me know.
My husband and I are expecting a little girl in [name_u]January[/name_u] and we’re struggling to find a name that we both love for her. We both like more unusual names and we really want something different and kind of strange for her first name with a more classic middle. We don’t have a lot of choices right now so any suggestions will be appreciated
Right now we love:
[name_f]Nola[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]
[name_f]Amity[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
We both really like the name Eirys but we can’t find a middle name that we both love that also goes with the surname.
Again, we really like unusual, rare names that aren’t too crazy and that are kind of easy to pronounce.
I’m really loving [name_f]Nola[/name_f] right now, so of course [name_f]Nola[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] appeals very much to me! I think it’s actually the perfect balance for what you are looking for. [name_f]Nola[/name_f] is uncommon and a bit unusual but it’s gaining popularity slowly, and yet I don’t think it will become quite as popular as [name_f]Aria[/name_f] or [name_f]Isla[/name_f], I think it will be just enough to be recognized. It’s a more fresh, newer name as well. [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] flows very well with [name_f]Nola[/name_f] and of course fits in as a classic name. I think the spelling [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] also does [name_f]Nola[/name_f] a lot of good because it’s a fresher take in [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] and goes better with [name_f]Nola[/name_f] (in my opinion). I also quite like [name_f]Amity[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] but not as much as [name_f]Nola[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]. It had the same qualities but I feel it lacks a bit of the charm that [name_f]Nola[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] has, because I feel that ending with [name_f]Jane[/name_f] gives off a plainer impression.
[WHOOPS, pressed the post button accidentally before I got to list some suggestions]

[name_f]Demelza[/name_f]
[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u]
[name_f]Beryl[/name_f]
I understand my suggestions aren’t quite as unusual as maybe you’d wanted, I went more for the uncommon but familiar names. I hope it could help though! Perhaps you’d like some of the names in my signature as well…?
[name_f]Nola[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] is gorgeous! I like [name_f]Amity[/name_f] too, but [name_f]Amity[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] makes me immediately think of Calamity [name_f]Jane[/name_f] (which isn’t necessarily negative, just not sure whether you want that association).
[name_f]Nola[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] is gorgeous, and I personally love the Calamity [name_f]Jane[/name_f] association of [name_f]Amity[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. Nice options!
I’m gonna jump on the [name_f]Nola[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] bandwagon because it’s super cute! You found a perfect combo for what you’re looking for.
I like [name_f]Nola[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] as is, but wonder if you might consider [name_f]Amity[/name_f] [name_u]Wynne[/name_u] as a possibility… (Obviously the final “e” is silent) Both names mean friend or friendship and perhaps be a little less expected than [name_f]Jane[/name_f].
[name_m]Just[/name_m] a thought have fun!
I agree with others, [name_f]Nola[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] is a lovely choice, however a name another berry posted about yesterday that I hadn’t heard of before and I like is [name_f]Nimue[/name_f].
I like the combo [name_f]Nimue[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] or even [name_f]Nimue[/name_f] [name_f]Elodie[/name_f]
[name_f]Nola[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] is beautiful and spunky. [name_f]Amity[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is a cute, spunky combo, but on its own I don’t like [name_f]Amity[/name_f] as much as [name_f]Nola[/name_f]. I think you have a winner.
