Need inspiration ladies! Unusual but not chavvy?

Hi all, just want to pick your brains......

I want a name that will be unusual enough not to be shared by 4 others when the LO gets to school. I love lots of the names that feature on here a lot but am aware they're also on the 'Top 100' list for 2006 which isn't what I want. It's irrational, I know but I've got this thing......

What I don't want to do is makeup/invent a name that ends up sounding AWFUL(!), so I've been trying to look at really traditional names which have yet to make a come back in recent years.

I'm liking Frankie, Stanley and Aubrey for a boy but am stuck on the girls! (we don't know what it is yet)

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated!

 

I really like Doris and Dorothy, but I just keep getting head shakes from DH! Oh, well am working on it!

Thanks for your suggestions xx

 

I LOVE Iris (though OH doesn't!) I think he'd be happy just to call it baby and have done with it!

We both like Robyn too, plenty of food for thought!

Thanks for all your suggestion ladies, knew I could rely on you!

 

Not too worried Cassi,

There are so many kids with truly awful made-up names on our estate and they seem to escape unharmed, at least I'm after a proper name.

And I'm not cruel enough to go for Gertrude! It will be something middle ground.

Thanks for sharing your opinion though. It's one shared by my OH so he's on the case and won't let me get too silly!

What names do you like at the mo'?

 

That's beautiful! But scan results today show it's a boy! Alexis is pretty cool though...

 

There's some great ones there, thanks! OH is stuck on Stanley at the moment, but I'm keeping an open mind.

I love Arthur, but Othello and Hamlet make me think of the tragedies!

Lydia was one of my top names for a girl so pretty!
