My husband and I are looking for names for boy or girl - we dont know what we are having yet and plan on having more than one child anyway.

We love old fasioned names that have some history or meaning to them. We also like unique names - ones that are not heard often.

If anyone could help in this regard (especially if you know the meaning or history of the names) it would be very much appreciated.

Much thanks.
