iamdax 0 Posted October 20, 2004 I'm due in 4 months and need a name for my baby... I'm not sure of the baby's sex and would like a unique name. Plz help :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wishfire 2 Posted October 20, 2004 Well, for my child I decide Trent for a boy and Evania for a girl. Ironically, Trent means "turmoil" while Evania means "tranquility." No I didn't do that on purpose. For your child... Choose your two favoirte people and use a syllable from each of there names and make it a completely new and unique name. For instance, "Jadzia" and "Nerys" could be "Jadrys" or "Nerzia." And those are only examples. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BakulaBabe 2 Posted October 20, 2004 I have a female co-worker whose name is 'Aracely' (air-ah-SELL-ie). I wouldn't mind having that name myself! For a boy, I kinda like 'Edison' (as in Edison Carter from 'Max Headroom'), but that's because I'm a fan of the show. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gabri 0 Posted October 20, 2004 Oh, wow. I could go on forever and ever about unique baby names. Are you looking for anything in particular? Historical? Mythological? Fictional? Ethnic (Celtic, Arabic, African, Chinese, Hawaiian, etc)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iamdax 0 Posted October 20, 2004 (edited) :) :) not really, just unique, don't even need a spesh meaning. Edited October 20, 2004 by iamdax Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wishfire 2 Posted October 20, 2004 Going off what I said earlier, why don't you use the first syllable of your name and the last of your man's name? Or vice-versa, whichever one you prefer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gabri 0 Posted October 20, 2004 Hoo boy. Okay, let's see . . . for starters: Boys: Percival Tristan Julian Armand Baxter Caleb Ford Peregrine Ogden Randon Gilead Marius Raoul Liam Ewen Girls: (Star Wars names) Leia Mara Mirax Iella Jaina Tahiri (Dragonriders of Pern names) Lessa Menolly Mirrim Brekke Sharra Sorka Nerilka (Greek mythology names) Ariadne Penelope Electra Iphigenia Megara Deianeira (various names) Marguerite Nai Mei Leilani Sapphire Sorrel Harmony Katriona Ophelia Miranda Calandra Chandris Amethyst Paloma Tatiana Memory (I once knew a girl named that) I'm afraid I'm better at finding girls' names than boys'. :blush 2: But another thing to consider is just unusual spelling. For example, a friend of mine named one character in a story he was writing 'Nyklas' instead of 'Nicholas'. I like his spelling better than the classic one. Anyway, hope that helps a little bit. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ragingtarg 0 Posted October 20, 2004 Try Jael. I think it's a unisex name. Or maybe Aria for a girl. I love those names. Even Annela. But those're all girl's names :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angel of Darkness 0 Posted October 20, 2004 I think Allenah fot a girl is sweet :) or even Mikayel for a boy :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted October 20, 2004 I'm due in 4 months and need a name for my baby... I'm not sure of the baby's sex and would like a unique name. Plz help :) 274109[/snapback] :) My suggestion is: Create a new word using letters from yours and the fathers names. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ILIKESEVEN 0 Posted October 20, 2004 (edited) I would think a nice Dutch name like: PIETER: if it is a boy GRIETJE : if it is a girl But what is in a name, the important thing is that it will be born healthy, and it will have a cool mommy and dady who love it very much. Enjoy you time pregnancy, and let your man make you feel good ( i did the same for my wife) It takes two to have a baby :) Edited October 20, 2004 by ILIKESEVEN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spockstellaiter 0 Posted October 20, 2004 (edited) How about dax? j/k lol For a girl: Tinuviel Eledhwen(means starspray I think)(pronounced el-eth-wen) For a guy: Beren God bless your pregnancy and baby! Edited October 20, 2004 by Spockstellaiter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angela 1 Posted October 20, 2004 I love the name HUnter for a boy and Litha for a girl. (It is actually the pagan name for the summer solstice alternatively Willow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theunicornhunter 2 Posted October 20, 2004 Okay, I'll probably sound like an old mother hen, but I recommend putting a lot of thought into naming your child - he or she is the one that will have to live with the name and while unique is good - you can be too unique (Demi Moore's kids) Also tastes do change as you get older and you want something that will be taken seriously when the child becomes an adult. My first name is fairly traditional but not all that common - I knew other girls with the same nickname but not the same "real" name - which I insisted everyone call me after I was twelve. My oldest sister has a really unusual name and my next a fairly common - I consider myself the lucky one. If you try a foreign name make sure it doesn't have any other meanings. I've known people that picked up a foreign word because it sounded pretty but basically named their kid "ski resort" - ie chalet Another word of caution. I heard this on the radio - so I guess I can put it here. I'm just adding it because it shows what can happen. Click For Spoiler This couple put a lot of thought into their child, Drew, 's name. But they never bothered to say it outloud with their surname, Peacock. They indicated regrets. Another interesting source would be if you've ever done your family tree - I found some great names from ancestors. I also had a friend who kept a running list of the "disasters" she found doing geneaology. Unique spelling can alway jazz up a more common name. Another option is to start with a quality or characteristic and look up names that mean that. The down side to unusual names is you can never find things that have the kids name on them. By the time you combine the first, middle and last name you should have a fairly unique name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spockstellaiter 0 Posted October 20, 2004 (edited) On the note of that "drew peacock" thing I know someone with the last name of abbott. She was thinking of naming her child "peter". try saying that out loud! lol Edited October 20, 2004 by Spockstellaiter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueCrystal 0 Posted October 20, 2004 (edited) Good thing I never had children, or it would have been Myrtle for a girl and Stanley for a boy. Just kidding. A son would of been called Sairrin and a daughter would of be Jen'Nyssa or Bethia Edited October 20, 2004 by BlueCrystal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valeris 2 Posted October 20, 2004 Baby Name Website This website has a bunch of awesome names. As for the ones I can think of... I cannot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrWho42 13 Posted October 21, 2004 For a boy, I kinda like 'Edison' (as in Edison Carter from 'Max Headroom'), but that's because I'm a fan of the show. 274116[/snapback] Wowzer, that is a good name. Lately, I've been just planning to call him (who is still currently unexisting): Orwell. But I'll need to think up of a neat and inventive last name, rather than my dull current one. <-----Also |oved the series of Max Headroom. They really should rerun it again, but G4TechTV isn't re-airing them these day5.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt 0 Posted October 22, 2004 A few suggestions from Ireland: For a boy: Ciarán, Darragh, Eamon, Enda, Patrick, Rory, Séan. For a girl: Ailbhe, Aine, Aisling, Bláithnid, Cina, Deirdre, Etain, Gráinne, Labhaoise, Orlaith, Saoirse. If you want to know aht any of them mean then just PM me. Oh and congratulations on the baby.

nik 0 Posted October 23, 2004 How about something like "T-Bone" or "The Gooch" Pretty much any name that start with "The" is always good. Parents can do their kids a huge favor by giving them names that will automatically establish them on a high social rung in Jr. High. I always felt sorry for the kids with names like "Simon," or "Herbert." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enigmatic_mystery 0 Posted October 24, 2004 For a girl I would pick Auryon or Adriana and for a guy I would pick Corbett or Gabriel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
