  Re: Unique girls' names (janobonano) Reply Contact I actually like Tuesday!  The woman who helped us buy my wedding flowers was a Tuesday.  I also like Willa (or Willem for a boy) but obviously taken.  My other faves are also rather unique, most of them simply because they are Dutch: Marijke (mah-rye-keh) - Dutch Maaike (micah) - Dutch, female form of Micah Petra (pay-trah) Ja-el or Ja'el (jay-elle) Justine Jantina (yahn-teen-ah) - Dutch, and I like Jantie or Tina for short Jacoba - Dutch Marijn - Dutch Some of the other names in this thread I like are Taryn, Anna, Ava. I'm not big on the surnames-as-girls-names bandwagon (MacKenzie, Reagan, Kennedy, etc), I don't like super Irish/Celtic/Gaelic names, and I don't like most names than end with the "eee" sound.  I used to love Jordan but now it's so over used. Maybe Jordana instead? http://vankelderdogs.dutchbingo.net http://www.schhmi.com

  Re: Unique girls' names (janobonano) Reply Contact janobonano: The latest was Ariel  Hey, now! Actually, Aerial is my horse's name...I stole my username from her.  I wouldn't name a person that, though. I tend to like more old-fashioned names.  I think if I had a girl I'd name her Molly, middle name Elizabeth (my mom's middle name). My mom told me she wanted to name me Gwyneth (before it was a "famous" name, of course), but my dad said no way.  So they gave me a stupid common airhead sounding name instead.  Thanks mom & dad! Someone suggested Annalise.  I like that alot. I also like Margaret (Maggie for short).  Not an unusual name, but you don't find that many Margaret toddlers running around.   ~Heather~

  Re: Unique girls' names (janobonano) Reply Contact Thanks for the ideas, everyone! I added a couple more to the list tonight: Josephine (Josie), Keziah/Kesiah, and Kellan. And Shea/Shay for a middle name option. jenn52: Unique/Less popular names for girls...  Bliss, Cherica, Ashlyn, Sadie, Piper, Lucy, Hazel, Mallory, Jacee, Macy/Macie, Adia, Mae, Nora, Laney, Taryn I like Piper & Hazel. Macy used to be one of my favorite girls' names but now I don't like it as much. Jason L: How did he come up with a racial slur for Kaia Azalea? I am trying to come up with possibilities but nothing. It's like a riddle LOL!   He thought it sounded Asian.  miranadobe: Ava is starting to get over-played, too. Yeah, I like Ava but it was #6 on the most popular list last year.  aerial1313: I also like Margaret (Maggie for short).  Not an unusual name, but you don't find that many Margaret toddlers running around.   Actually my niece, who is 5 weeks older than Willa, is named Margaret. I like Margo and Mae, but it would be too close.
