Girls' Names
| Sat, 10-15-2005 - 12:39pm |
I'm stuck for a girl's name for my unborn baby. I already have a three year old son called Devon and would like an equally unusual name for my daughter. I always wanted my children to be the only ones with their names in the school but I cannot find any I like in any of the baby name books I like.
Can anyone help?

Elise
Vivian
Miranda
Stella
Bianca
Charlotte
Ruby
Carly
Hope that might help you! You can find out the popularity of names (the top 1000 used, anyhow) at http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/ Devon was #175 in 2004.
Devon and Erika
Devon and Stella (like this A LOT!!)
Devon and Sophie
Devon and Alanna (nn Allie?)
Names like Jane, Ellen, Helen, Anne,Alice, Ruth, Carrie, Norah etc- the classic names- are actually very unusual now. Much more common names are names like Mckenzie, Destiny, Madison, Riley and Sierra, so you could look at some of the "older" names in order to make sure your daughter doesn't become known by her last initial :P
Some of the most unusual names of 2004(lower than #700):
Robin/Robyn
Norah
Violet
Eve
Mara
Frances (nn Frankie is cute!)
Penelope (nn Penny or Pippi?)
Juliet
Greta
Rowan (I prefer this for boys, but that's just me)
Felicity
Maeve (I like this one very much)
Laurel
Kenna
Elsa
Annabel
Gwyneth
Another thing you could do is pick one of the popular girls' names in England, but one that isn't poular in the USA yet, because a lot of our popular names are cool there first...your daughter could be unique in her grade and ahead of the times :P
Examples:
Ella
Millie
Mollie
Mia
Ruby
Daisy
Freya
Alice
Poppy
Keira
Niamh (pronounced 'Neeve')
Maisie
Lucy
