I was determied to have children with names that wouldn't have 2 in their class and yet not be weird. My first, Emily, was uncommon until that year and ever since, lol, so she has 2 other Emilys in her class...

My second daughter is Kylara (prounced like sky - Ky - lara) and my son is Matari (aboriginal for man) - pretty safe they won't have classmates with the same names! ALthough Kyara went to kinder with Chiara and Kara...

Had Matari been a girl, she would have been Mincarlie or Carlie...

Good luck:)

Oh there are SO MANY good names here!

Thanks guys!!! 

We seem to be liking Zane for a boy..... (this week!!!) Hubby liked Codi for about a week, then he changed his mind!!! ~ Men.....  No doubt he'll change his mind AGAIN! They say us women are bad!!

My husband and I had a similar problem. As I'm a teacher I wanted a name that was different enough to not encounter many others (didn't want bad memories attached to a name!), but not that unusual that our child would hate it and be picked on.

Our final choice for our girl was Lorelei Rose, but we also liked Charisma, Anastasia, Aurianne and Savanna.

For boys it was harder but we short-listed Perrin (my favourite 'cos I liked the nickname Perry!), Xavier, Elijah or Eli, Oscar and Oliver.

if you want unusual names my 6yr boys middle name is chaos

I too have been stuck for boys names but I really liked Braydan but the hubby hated it so I am back to square one!

Well, my brother is going to be a dad in 4 days and if its a boy he wants Evan if its a girl Amelia. There nice names.

For a girl you could also use my name Tegan (pronounced Teegan)

For a boy what about Alfie or Biaram (pronounced Byram)

I have 3 beautiful daughters and their names are Tishara, Cheyenne and Jessica.  We also had Nathaniel picked out for a boy.  Hope this helps.  Karen

Hi Pagan-Mum -of -three, just recently became grandmother to Ethan Chase. Both good,strong names that can stand alone or marry with another. All the best with #4. Blessed Be. Noeleen

As you can probably guess we named our children zoe and angus. i also liked luke, lilly and benji

What about,

Connor, Caleb, Hunter, Tyler, Tyson,Ethan,Austin,Julian,Lachlan

I named my daughters Samaria & Hali if u shorten or even find a name then look at the other ways of spelling it is great but I found mine in the bible  

Hi I have 3 sons by the name Kye,  Vinson (but we call him vinnie) and Xavier (my mother named him cause we didnt have any boys names picked out.

Good luck and best wishes with bub  

No offense intended, but why do you want to give your children "UNUSUAL" names which may lead to more teasing and ridicule in the school ground and make their whole life a constant flow of having to answer questions like "how unusual, how do you spell that?"

I personally hated having an "unusual" name myself, and chose to name my 2 children with "usual" names which I Iiked and that hopefully they will like too.

Having said that, I do like some of the more "uncommon" but not "unusual" names I have heard lately, such as Noah, Taylor, Connor, Callum (for boys and as you asked for boys I wont list a heap of girls names here). I quite like some of the "old fashioned" names that are coming back into vogue at the moment. I've even heard for people naming their boy Levi, and Isaac.

All the best with your family.

BTW JoJo is not my real name, but a nickname I use as I hate my real name! (Still)

;-)

Hi there,

We named our little boy Tao. (Pron: Tayo) We certainly get " Oh, that's unusual!"  It was a toss up between Tao & Baxter, but when he was born, it was decided pretty quick. 

Take care

G'day... We named our only son Kelland.

what about aidan??i love this name but have just found out im having another girl :)

hi   when i was pregnant we found out i was having a boy.  We had nine months to pick out a name and still did not have one when he was born.  My husband took one look at him and said i like the name Logan.  We found this was not a common name and get lots of comments on how people love the name. 

Good luck

my girls names are Kala Jayde, Makia Tempest-paige and Pheobe Mishel (pronounced miss-sell)  Vishai

my boys names are Bradly Jaimes and Zain Matthew

Other names we liked for girls were: Sierra, Tabitha, Abigail, Miranda, Ebony, Leila, Eliza-beth, Shiralee,Lexi,Ruby,Violet,Bethany

i love the name carson. we named our son carter, which we have heard from alot of people is uncommon.

hope that helps!

I have three boys and it is hard to find appropriate names. We call our Cody, Brock and Jacob. My partner picked Cody, I picked Brock and we have always wanted a Jacob. There are heaps of Cody's and Jacob's but not too many Brock's.

The three which I have heard used only once amongst my friends are Jonas, Josiah and Felix.

Speaking as someone who has spent my life spelling my unusually-spelt name to everyone, please consider chosing a simple spelling if you have a choice of two - its such a drag (and now I have to spell my surname too - aaargh)!

There are some fantastic replies below here - alternatively you could look up online - it does take time to trawl through baby name sites, but some are really good and provide names with certain meanings or heritage which can be really interesting and you can be inspired with something different.  I was stumped for boy names before E was born and trawled many sites which I found really helpful - just Google a search for baby names

Peace

My little cousin is named Maddison, also for a girl is Jamieson...

Boys, I always get stuck on boys names.

Jarrod. Cain, Korban, There are a few.. :) If I think of more, I'll let you know..

I think our DS name is different. He is named Jedd after his Father. I have only met 2 other Jedd's and their name was actaully Jeddidiah. They were called Jed (with one D) for short.

DS name is just Jedd...2 D's and not shortened....LOL

Hi there,

My daughters names are Maddison & Teirabella (I made this up, I always loved Isabella but found it was becoming more common), I am also pregnant with another girl whom we are naming Lilliana. The boys names we had picked out were: Alexander, Lachlan, Beaudean, Elijah. I also like my nephews names, Jayden, Ethan & Bailey.

Because my name was short (Traci) I wanted long names that could be shortened and still be nice.

Good luck with the search, I would love to know what you come up with!!

Trik :o)

For boys here are a few unsuals: Taran, Reuben, Carob, Chase, Julian, Tyrese, Jasper.

And girls: Amaya, Mae, Zarissa, Elizabeth, Robyn.

Wow, there are some great names here... I like quite a few of them!!

Keep 'em coming!!!

I have an almost 1 year old girl named Amy and i have had so many people comment on how they haven't heard that name for years.

So my answer would be Amy for a girl and i think i am also stuck for a boy

I think in trying to "match" the names you already said, what about Felicity or Jillian?  They aren't very common these days but are beautiful and flow with the other names you have.

For boys Walker or Jaiman/Jaimen.

My girls are called Mara and Sephrenia. (feel free to use them!)

other girls names I love are Liandrin, Swan, Iris, May

boys names: Talyn, Talon, Zachariah, Kenneth, Lancelot

there are a few traditional names that are not in general circulation :D

I love the boys names Monty and Fraser.

Mirabelle

Well Morgan is a great name for a girl or a boy...or Morgana for a girl.

Boys: Declan, Louis, Elijah, Jarreth, Oliver, Eden (boy or girl)

Girls: Violet, Gwenyth, Mia, Ava.....

Just some suggestions....
