At the pre-school I work in we have a Piper, Bailey, Armani, Renae, Fern, Fleur and Ronniece which are pretty unusual imho. I think Scarlet is lovely and Seren.

Have met a couple of baby girls recently with place-inspired names: Senen, Somerset, Harlow

Also surnames-as-firstnames: Riley etc

we had pehobe or Kira or Kyah (depending on my mood for the spelling) my cousin's little girl is Lois which is unusual I think.

AllieBongo · 14/04/2006 11:08

The names you have chosen so far are pretty, but not v original. Have a look at some old threads in archived topics. there's hundreds on there. Hope that helps!

BagelBird · 14/04/2006 11:14

Great ones suggested, here is a couple more:

Elodie
Savanna
Rae
Olivia
Arienne
Neroli
Fleur

There is a Hermione at my DD2s toddler group and there is a Germaine at my DD1s school. I once taught a Arabesque (!!?!!) and her older sister was Angelique..

I was going to suggest Jade (I love the stone) but remembered BB and thought better not!! :)

Ashia
Elise
Elodie
Anya
Carys
Savannah
Coralie

Will more than likely think of more. Have worked in a school for 12 years now & come across lots of different names!

blueteddy · 14/04/2006 11:36

Someone I worked with called her DD Marla. I had never come across the name before & thought it was pretty.

blueteddy · 14/04/2006 12:28

Oh, one of the most unusual & pretty names I have come across was Ynes - pronounced E - nes.
I thought it was a really striking name & had never come across it before or since.
We have a little girl in our class called Eleri, which is also pretty unusual.

Calmriver · 14/04/2006 12:43

With DD1,we had an agreement-I chose the girls and he chose the boys. Obviously, you have to like it to a certain point!

jabberwocky · 04/07/2006 05:41

Well, Ishtar is the name of a Goddess, and I think Istara might be a derivative of that. Not a bad choice, really
