Unusual names v more popular names

[katkinn]

Right - how can I explain (obviously of words of only one syllable) to my DH WHY it's so important to me to have a more unusual name for this baby.

He thinks I am bonkers (which obviously I am a tad :roll: ) that I am adamant that my bambino doesn't have a name that's in the top 100 popular names.

I don't want a particularly whacky or modern name - in fact I definitely don't want a modern name at all - I want really really old (even Greek mythology :shock: or majorly trad English ) names. But he is absolutely stuck on having names which are lovely but are a tad too mainstream for my liking - ie Oliver, Emily, Charlotte, Imogen etc.

He doesn't understand my obsession to find a name that he or she doesn't have to share with 2 or 3 other people in their class, or that someone goes "ooh that's my daughter, son, neice, nephew, grandson, next door neighbour's name............" :roll:

I HATED having a really popular name (even though you spell mine really strangely) and really felt that I didn't have an "identity" at school (yes, bonkers but didn't feel unique at all)

I guess I do know people who have more unusual names and that hate them, but the majority of people as far as i'm aware in my peer group, really liked being "different" (and by different i don't mean SO different that you get the piss ripped out of you in the playground!)

Does anyone know where I'm coming from or is my DH right??

We managed to find Hettie (Henrietta) which I think sort of fits my criteria (but is "normal" enough for DH) but a) I'm trying to find something slightly more unusual this time, especially if it's a girl and b) DH seems to have turned into Mr Mega Conservative :roll:

What are other people's thoughts??

Names are always a bone of contention aren't they? :roll:

When we chose ours, we focused on names we liked, rather than if they were in the top 100 etc. Infact I didn't even realise where Jessica came on that list until after.

I do see your point though about wanting an individual name. Have you both drawn up a list of names you liked?

Btw, I'm sure you an I share the same first name, spelt the same too! I don't know many people wit this particular spelling. Doesn't it annoy you though when people can't spell it properly? I think that's partly why we gave Jess a mainstream name.

[Muppetgal]

I like quite modern names, although we struggled to find a name that we both liked. I too wanted unusual names, but OH didn't agree on any of them.

In the end it turns out Logan is the 17th most popular name in the UK for the year he was born and the 4th most popular in Canada! :shock:

We have chosen Stirling if this next one is a boy, thinking again that it is modern but unique. I told my sister the other day and she said she knew three people called Stirling, that it's becoming a popular name in Canada. Sods law! :doh: But we're sticking with it, because we both like it and it's Scottish (one of my criteria).

[Skibunny]

I've always wanted 'unusual' names for my children - although I do think it's easier if you're a girl - carrying off a different name for a boy is more difficult for them I think.

I loved having an unusual name when I was growing up and I absolutely loathe and detest the fact it's currently in the top 100 because a load of copy cat plebs who probably don't even know what the name means (it's a mythological name) have chosen it - grrr!

We chose Bronwyn because that's unusual but not freaky. I know what I want to use if we're having a girl this time around (well it's a toss up between two) but are really struggling to come up with a boys name that won't only work if he's good-looking and popular!

i think you've got to have a name you absolutely love, rather than just quite like whatever you decide.

its no good feeling lukewarm about a name otherwise you'll go off it pretty quickly i reckon.

its not really about who's right and who's wrong, but more coming up with something you both love.

says she who still can't agree on anything....

seems that once you've taken popularity, spelling, already taken names, nicknames and things that don't go with your surname into account there's not a whole heap of choice left.

we're thinking of calling our second Sacha Too

[Lois Lane]

I just don't think men 'get it' when it comes to names. They either think that they have FOREVER to decide or that they hate whatever you've chosen. In my head I have decided on the names I like and I'm pretty unconvinced that I will find anything else I like but DH is adamant that he doesn't like either of my girl or boy choices. He figures if we have a girl it will be Paige Two and if we have a boy it will be Superman Junior or Superman II :roll: :roll: :laff:

Like everyone has said I like something a little bit unusual without being 'out there'. Unfortunately Paige is now a lot more popular thesedays but I couldn't foresee that when I chose it. It also took me FIVE years of banging on about the name to finally make DH realise he did actually like the name and I've only got eight months this time!!!

[katkinn]

we're thinking of calling our second Sacha Too

spooky!!! Not that we were thinking of calling Little Boo - Sacha Too but certainly Hettie Two was mentioned in the office this morning :laff:

Also - how important do people think it is to have a "similar" sort of name to number one.

ie number one is Hettie (business card name Henrietta) so we couldn't really give the second one a name like Isis or Joan (btw Joan is not on our list!!!)

Do you think we have to give the second baby a long name that she can then shorten................... I think we do but DH doesn't.

With a little boy though, I think we can push the boat out and it doesn't have to be so much in a similar vein. (although randomly the name that I like and DH hasn't scoffed at - a lot in his book, believe me!!! - is a long business card name and a less formal little boy's name!!!)

Skibunny I definitely agree with you that you can be more creative with a girl's name but I would be a tad more trad and mainstream with a boys name (mainly due to the fact that every single boy I know who has a more unusual name has hated it their entire lives!!! Boys much prefer to be part of the gang in my experience!!)

[~Twiggy~]

Lordship wanted Jensen James for our boy and I thought it was bit much.
And pleaded with him to have James Jensen instead.
Now we have Jensen james I love it and it suits him and it's different and modern.
"If" we had a girl ever I would love to have Roxanne or Trinity Grace.

[katkinn]

It also took me FIVE years of banging on about the name to finally make DH realise he did actually like the name and I've only got eight months this time!!!

I've got even less time that that as DH has told me he doesn't want to even discuss it until we know what flavour it is :shock: My fave girls name he just guffaws at and says NO WAY although his fave girl names are so dull for me (in which case it will actually be a good thing if it's a boy :shock: :laff: )

[Lois Lane]

I was adamant when we were choosing names first time around that I wanted names that you couldn't shorten - I have a 3 syllable name which is always shortened. My sister has a 2 syllable name and when people refer to us together it's always with a 2 syllable version of my name, with my sis's full name.

Along these lines I have been thinking of one syllable names for P's sibling partly because I have a phobia of shortened names but also as it sounds good with P. However if we have a boy I have been looking at 2 syllable names as he will have a 1 syllable middle name (pre-determined by daft family tradition). Even though the boys names I have picked are two syllables I've never heard either of them shortened.

So the outcome of my waffle is that PERSONALLY I think if you have Henrietta, then you should have something of similar length that can be shortened like you have with Hettie. But I don't think it matters if it's a boy. And no it doesn't make sense but I am a mad pregnant woman and it makes perfect sense to me in my world!! :laff: :laff:

I want really really old (even Greek mythology :shock: or majorly trad English ) names.
Well as we called our DD Athena, I'd have to agree with you!! :laff:

When OH and I chose names (once we knew the baby's gender) we had a no-argument-veto rule - if one of us didn't like a name, it didn't go on the list. Maybe going through a whole baby name book would wear your DH down katkinn!! :doh: :laff:

My DH thought the baby name book was a nightmare as for every reasonable name there were about 200 stupid ones!! So in the end I went through the entire book and then made a spreadsheet with my preferred names on and then he went through deleting all the ones he didn't like! Didn't leave much I have to say!!

[Jamtart]

I like unusual names too and ones that aren't popular (must check Jakob and Roxanne :teehee: )

I think I need an unusual name as I have Kenidee, and I think a 'normal' name would sound odd next to it!

All the names I like are unusual anyway :D

[Crazyfool]

I am torn I like modern funky ones, I also like traditional ones .

[BJMac]

I have to agree with Skibunny - I've never really heard of many people with my name, so was horrified to find that I was number 68 on the most popular girls names last year!!!!!!!

Obviously we have Dixie, so the name we have picked for this one is one that will compliment, I think (hope!!).

B x

[Crazyfool]

Bjmac I think Dixie is a lovely name and you are the only I have heard of with a LO of that name . IRL and here if that makes you feel better :yes:

[shamu]

Well, with 4 :shock: weeks to go we're still no nearer a name
I agree with whoever said it had to be a name you "love" and that's the problem - NOTHING stands out :-( The girls name we had for James is too popular now and I see it as James' name......
We've tried the baby names books but still haven't found the name we love :-(
I love the more unusual names especially for a girl but don't want anything too "out there" iyswim. Our godfather figure (he's more of a buddhist than anything else :lol: ) has a particular way of expressing his disgust for any names he doesn't like and I think that puts me off....
Oh, I'm rambling now, but if anyone can chose a name for my daughter that would be great ;-)

[Adelelee]

Another one here struggling with names :-( :-( We, well rather I, spent hours and hours pouring over the names book last time, only to hear Eliza's name in a TV prog the week before we had her :laff: :laff:

This time we really liked Sofia but being a Northern Lass everyone we know has a habit of calling the baby "Our" and it struck P and I yesterday that "Our Sofia" sounds like "Arse of Fear" :shock: :shock: :shock: So that is well and truely out :doh: :doh:

So back to the drawing board for us!!!!

Kat, sorry just totally rambled on there about our names :oops: :oops: but FWIW I do totally agree with you about having an unusual name that every bugger also has, that is top of my list of priorities which, as you said, makes it 10 times harder :doh: :doh: :doh:

That made me laugh out loud. :laff:

[Princess Fiona]

Both me and Dh prefer traditional names but i would have preferred a traditional more unique name than Lucy.

Dh chose Lucy's name and tbh although we did discuss it and i said i didn't mind it i'm STILL not struck on it and really wished we'd used something else, i still don't think it really suits her either :(

Next time i'm choosing the name but now we've had Lucy i'm finding it difficult to think of a name that goes with Lucy!! DH is still insisting that if we ever have a boy its going to be called DAMON :sick: which was in fact what Lucy would have been called if she'd have been a boy (lucky escape with Lucy if you ask me!) but i just don't think it goes very well. I'd much prefer Matthew or David or something more along those lines next time!!

I can understand where you're coming from but i think once you stumble acorss a name you both like, you won't mind whether its unusal or uninque as long as you both agree on it!

Good luck with that :wik:

Actually, I know of one too - my old manager when I used to work in a shop got pregnant and called her daughter Brooke. Oh well, at least she must have thought well of me to let her baby have the same name :wik:

Brooke x

[*kate*]

It was really important to me not to have a name in the top 100 this time round, after Harry was born, Harry Potter came out and soooo many people said "oh did you call him after HP?"

Didn't help that his middle name is also the same as HP's :roll:

But we wanted something that people couldn't take the mick either.

I like old, traditional names that haven't been used for years, like Henrietta.

oooh Brooke... thats a lovely name... hmmm might have to add to my growing list of girls names :laff: (now watch it be a boy :doh: :laff: )

[Jamtart]

Well I have just checked the top 100 boys and girls names for 2005 (http://www.statistics.gov.uk/cci/nugget.asp?id=184) and Jakob (spelt Jacob) was 21 :-( and Jake (what I would shorten it to) was 16 so have been put off a bit. I am thinking it will be Kyan or Lachlan as neither were in there.

Also was pleased that Roxanne wasn't in there nor was Rihana, Elise or Liliah. Brooke was 71 and Lola was 93.

I know I shouldn't base my choice on 'not being in the top 100 names of last year' but I really want something that no one else has, like I have with Kenidee!

I think the bump will be called Lola - is the only name we can agree on :)

[Crazyfool]

Mine too butI am sure its a boy and I am struggling on boys names :doh:

[seashell]

I always thought before i was pregnant i would not call my lo one of the most popular names for the last god knows how many years: "thomas"! but when it came to deciding names i just went with the names that dh and i liked and couldnt help that they were popular

my name was quite unusual when i was at school and i HATED it, i hated having the unusual name and being quite shy at the time i felt it made me stand out (i had a bit of an obsession with names and was always writing lists of my fave names everywhere and was nearly going to change my name to "julie" my fave at the time because i hated mine so much)

my sister on the other hand had a more popular name "claire" and was one of 4 in her class, she said it didnt bother her at all!

i do wish thomas wasnt as common as it is, (number 2) but i really battled with boys names, it was really the only one i liked( we did nearly call him christopher - which is his middle name which would have been less popular, but i preferred thomas)

i think you just have to go with the name you like, whether it is popular or less so - but not so rare that they could get yhe mick taken out of them lol!

Ha haha - DH still isn't sold on it I'm afraid!! Will have to work my magic powers!! If not then I might swing it as a middle name instead!! I'm just a bit stuck as if it's a girl is HAS to be only one syllable and it's the only one I like.

[skye]

Adelelee I just about PMSL at your Arse of Fear comment! Still giggling a bit actually.

We both like unusual names but not totally unheard of (well DH likes totally unheard of too but I am gently steering him away), just not top 20. I have quite a few girls names and DH is keen on most of them so it will probably fall on me to swing it but for boys am truly stuck. There are a few we 'like' but not 'love'.

Aaagh. We're just putting it off until we find out what. Then deal with too many names if its a girl and no names if its a boy. And probably not decide until it comes out if then. 'Baby' is sounding good to me too..

[Spellbound]

don't know if this helps anyone but I hear some unusual names quite often, as I work in Clarks kids dept.
2 girls came in on Saturday with their Mam, 1 girl was called Arizona and the other was called Vegas. I didn't ask any questions :scratchchin:

A few other names that have cropped up are
Felix
Arianne (spelling?)
Klein
Annabelle
Summer
India

Another v old name thread I've dredged (sp) up! :teehee:

On the subject of unusual names did anyone watch the programme about and Barry and Tony Drewitt-Barlow (CH 4 last week) who have 10 year old boy/girl twins called Aspen and Saffron, and Orlando who is four or five (I think) and new twin baby boys Dallas and Jasper.

I think Aspen, Dallas and Orlando are quite unusual (very USA inspired) but I do love the name Saffron for a girl (used to love the band 'Repuublica) although I wouldn't be able to stop thinking of Saffy from Ab Fab! :lol:

He is such a character tho so a 'normal' name would never have suited him .Only problem is if she ever has anymore she will have to find something equally as odd :lol:

I 100% agree and totally regret calling poor Beanie something so ordinary especially as there are so many Finleys popping up everywhere too. It's the reason I rarely call him Finn. Ross isn't unusual per se but here in Oxon it is rare as hens teeth. Eden's name is now getting trendy sadly but thankfully she's one of the few of her age group.
Sissys so far is one I've only heard of once.

Well, I though Stella's name would be fairly uncommon around here, and it is except for the daughter of a friend of a friend who lives in the next village and is 6 weeks younger. They moved recently and I confess I am shallow enough to hope it was further away so that the girls wouldn't be at school together! Hopefully they won't be at primary together anyway but probably secondary, although you never know.

Sarah, I know. I admit to it too....I am a bit :hair: at how popular my eldest daughter's name is but hey ho! What d'you do?

There is one in the same year as her but not in the same class.

And there is also one in my DD2's nursery class (soon to be reception).

I wouldn't change her name though and none of my friends have her name so in the grand scheme of things it's not toooo annoying but yes, 7-8 years ago I had no idea it would be this popular :rant:

:lol:

[Princess Fiona]

Elle i always thought Ruby was quite an unusual name but since seeing your Ruby on here i've met loads. Lucy hasn't got one in her class (although she's one of 3 Lucy's) but 3 of her friends have little sisters called Ruby who start Nursery in September so there will be 3 in the class. There are also 2 Scarletts, if i remember correctly there was a Scarlett and a Ruby in Eastenders a few years ago, EE always seems to make names popular, there was an epidemic of Alfie's after Shane Ritchie joined a few years ago.

I think Ruby is a beautiful name :lurve:

When I got pg with dd1 back in 2000 :faint: and dh and I first started discussing baby names dh said how much he loved the name and I said I liked it but wasn't so sure of it for our baby.

A few years later I actually started thinking I would love to use the name for a girl but by the time dd2 came along I was 100% definite on Layla and by the time dd1 started school (in 2005) there was lots of so although in a way I would have liked dd3 to be it just wasn't going to happen.

One of dd1's best friends is called . dd2 has a in her class and dd3 has a in her pre-school class :dizzy:

But deep deep down if we were to have another girl I would really like to call her but realistically it isn't going to happen :no: :sigh:
