Unusal Names for Children

[pfishgirl]

my son's name is Damien.. at the time we were deciding names we wanted something uncommon and something that you couldnt make a shorter form or nickname from..

my friend's daughter is Shayla Lillian
another is Trinity Paige

my other's friend's daughter is Anna Marie sounds like On A and not anna

what are some unusal names you've heard.. and I dont mean all the celebrities with there outrageous names.. poor children..

oh and not that it is a child but my sister named her dog D-O-G it is like saying it Dee Oh Gee not like dog the animal is..

I have a dd named Devon. Now this is pretty common but at the time the only few Devon's we'd meet were boys. Oh and it's pronounced Devin. I wish I had spelled it this way but i'd never seen it at the time.
She tells me how she used to love her unusual name and now she sees tons of 8-12yo's or so named this. She is 21.

I get some interesting ones when I am getting baptisms set up...my favorite is the one from yesterday...Araiya pronounced a ray a...her last name is another name for hog. She's been saddled poor kid. My inlaws name their kids fairly normal names...they just can't spell

If you go to www.growingfamily.com you'll find all kinds of unusual names.

My favorites that I've seen there are Sir Don King and Ultraviolet. Oh, and there was a Jacup on there once.

The way my name is spelled is uncommon, if this counts:

Jaimie. With two i's.

 

[babytrees]

I have been told Cassidy is an unusual name and I know Abi is an unusual spelling.

My daughter's name is Stevie Faith......most people don't like it, but we love it.

I have to admit, when I first heard it I didn't like it too much, but she's such a beautiful baby, it's really making me like it now.

A new family moved into our neighborhood. They have a 15 month old baby, and when the mom told me his name, I was speechless for a moment.

Otto.

Just wasn't expecting it.

I work with kids and I've heard them all, some nice and some, well I scratch my head and think "hum". My favorites are the ones who's parents say my kids name is "ruiehjkhgjhfjghfjhgfjkhgjkfdbhjnfjvn" but we call him "sam", um yeah! (All the letters are to show how long the names get, ugh!)

 

[KristinBelle]

I know 3 different Shayla's, so it's not uncommon down here.

I also named my son Damian in 2001. We chose the name for the same reasons as you, but now I hear that name all the time. My DH heard the name when he was watching the Padre's playing baseball and they had a player named Damian Jackson.

A cousin of mine named her daughter Nevaeh (Heaven spelled backward) Noelani, this name was unusual to me, but I've heard it a few times since her daughter's been born.

My daughter's name is Stevie Faith......most people don't like it, but we love it.

I really love your daughters name, so pretty and unique.

I know someone who recently named her son Oliver. Just sounds unusual to me!

Oliver's kind of an old fashioned name.

I knew some children named Silence, Patience, Torrent, Eden and Talon.

I have a daughter Bailey and a son Brayden. My DH and I both teach and neither of us had a Bailey...or a Brayden, but 3 were born the same time as ours was. I could not believe it. I love going to growing family to check out names.
Cullen was a new boy name to me. I love Tanner and Dawson for boys too, but because I am weird with numbers I could not have a kid with 6 letters since his middle name was my maiden name Rettig and our last name also has 6 letters, 666 cannot be good! I had to change Bailey's middle name a few months before she was born to a 5 letter middle name!
