Spinoff to Unusal Names
I love a good old unusual name, but it doesn't mean that I would name my child one of them...
So what your favorite unusual name.
I love Welsh names, Dafydd, Myfanwy, Iola (pronounced Yo-La) and my favorite is Eleri.

Re: Spinoff to Unusal Names
If we have a boy, hubby wants to name him Guy. For many reasons, obvious and not so obvious, I will not!

For boy names I love bibical and last name, first names:
bibical:
Noah
Jonah
Elijah
Jordan
first name that sounds like a last name:
Porter
Conner
Parker
Riley
Tucker
We have an ethnic, long arse Italian last name so these names just don't go well with it

Seamus is a great name.
I like Sayid, I actually like a lot of Arabic names but that wouldn't go with our English last name.

How do you pronounce Myfanwy?
I've always liked the Irish names Aoife (eee-fah) and Siobhan (Shiv-ahn)
I really like Beau for a boy - I dont think it's unusual - but DH does.

I like Casimir for a boy. I think it's Slavic. Carine for a girl (French). But in reality probably wouldn't use them.

Re: Spinoff to Unusal Names
I've always loved different kinds of names b/c I just can't see naming my child a name that is used so much - I don't really know why - just can't get into the typical names - now, I'm not going to "make up a name" lol and I'm not talking naming my kid Moon Rock lol lol but just something a little different and not used SO much... But I don't want it to be really out there - I want it to be an actual name that is recorded by the baby name database.
I like Seamus a lot - I've liked, for years, Liam and Aidan but now those are getting more popular lol what can ya do? But I've liked those for YEARS. I've always loved Julian - again, not crazy unique but just a little different. DH likes the names too - and we are really into Carmine, for some reason, I'm all Irish but I just like that name lol sounds strong to me - Armand is another one - I just like it. We like Franklin for a middle name and I've always been a fan of Patrick even though that is used a lot.
For girls the only name I have ever really liked is Teagan - I love it. I pray to GOD that it doesn't, somehow, become really popular so by the time I name my daughter it - it looks like I'm just copying everyone else hahaha. Her middle name will be Josephine after my grandmother who was the best person ever!
I do like Charlotte which is why I named my puppy that

Our last name is McK, so there will be no doubt he's Irish.

Our last name is McK, so there will be no doubt he's Irish.
DH is a III and really wants a IV, which I really don't want, but I told him I'd agree to it if we came up with a nickname we both liked (I really don't like DH's middle name). FBIL suggested Finn and we both liked it so if we have a son one day, that's what we'll call him.
