Answer 15

Thank you for asking that question, I am in the same situation, why everyone keep giving old people names, nothing original these days, and they keep saying that it sounds good, how can a name you've heard a thousand time can still sound unique?.but sorry I can't help you because I was going to ask the same question.

Answer 16

Your child will never be a one of kind unless you name her something absolutely ridiculous and made up, which is NEVER, EVER, EVER a good idea. Please do not make up a name.

Go find a name from a different culture. There are plenty of beautiful names out there that most people have never heard of like Acacia (ah CAY shuh), Calista, Mattea, Carys (care iss), Ophelia, Aveline, or Dasia. And then there are the names that are not completely foreign, but just aren't used much like Gianna, Iliana, Thea, Celeste, or Caroline.

I really hope that when you do have a child, you give her a name with some history, a meaning, and a bit of thought put behind it. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE UP A NAME!! I don't know how many times I have to say it. If you give your child a name that people can go home and look up and find in a Shakespearian play or Roman history people will go "Wow, she put some thought into that name". But if you just make it up people will go "Wow, she put no thought into that name."

I hope this was a little help to you.

Answer 17

Yafa----means pretty

Answer 18

hmm.... did you read the article about 'Tallulah does the hula in hawaii'

Yes, that was actually that little girl's name, the whole phrase... bad parents.. bad.

I wouldnt go with that. You could get an 18th century book of names and look in there. Im sure you will see some uncommon ones.

Answer 19

It depends what your surname is; they've got to go together. There have been numerous disasters of bad choice name matches. I had a friend surname Brown who called his son Chrispian!  If you are talking about inventing  name how about Numi, Numie or Numee (New me?)

Answer 20

if you want a name that's individual than i don't think asking other people is the best thing to do :/ ... but your call..

I like the name 'Lani' (pronounced laa-nee) it's Hawaiian and means little flower

Answer 21

Luala...

I don't know! What the christ? You'll have to go into some pretty ugly territory to get one that's never ever been used before..

Answer 22

Try twisting names a little

Mackaylie

Hollay

Christinia

katia

Mari

Or something totally new

Kastiana

Pahly

Crestinia

Answer 23

Answer 24

Carluskiana.

Pretty sure that's an original.

Answer 25

Elizabeth

Tammy

Tilly

Lizzy

Tabitha (dunno if thats spelt correctly - ta-bi-fa)

Answer 26

LOL and OMGOMGOMG are quite unique. WTF is not recommended, as it will probably become a classic when Gen Y mature. In order to be unique, you might want to play around with the capitalisation so that only part of the name appears to be 'shouting' when signed.

Answer 27

i love tha names stassi & meliha & also teagan

Answer 28

I think  the name "Sitti" ( pronounced as see-ti )  it's a Filipino name which means "Princess"
