I totally have a unique name and it was horrible for me ( teachers couldnāt say it or spell it, kids kept making fun of me) I had to give myself a nickname, save your child the time

I have a friend that wrote the book on unique names. She had a lot of kids. She started with Chisholm Trale for her first girl. Then came Cassiopeia. Then Persophneā¦ Then came Prairie Frier. Her girls ended with Malibu and Sky Blue. Many boys too.

Shy children tend to hate unique names because it causes some attention they may resent. Bold children may enjoy them. Good luck.

My mom was named Fredericka Wilhelmina and hated it. My grandfather wanted s boy. My nameās are Dawn Heather Louise. Dawn because I was born at daybreak. Heather was my dadās girlfriend on the 2nd world war. And Louise is a family name from both sides
names carry a spirit in them. If it fits the personality the name will support the named and if not the name will cause bring the named into loss. So chose a name carefully considering your family .
I named my youngest daughter Edonia Sue. She says nobody can say her name right.

I planned on naming my oldest Heather,but when she was born she had a headful of dark hair. She wasnāt a Heather, so we named her Hedi unique we thought. She still says people call her Heddie
I also have a name no one can spell or say and was subject to a lot of teasing! I think it has helped me become an individual but I did not choose to give my kids an unusual nameāhowever people still screw up their simple names!
One of my great-grandmothers was Hattie Valeria. Iāve always thought that was a beautiful name.
I had 2 names picked out for my daughter. Freedom Marie and tokeyna Marie I went with tokens she is going on 45 and she loves her name
My sons name is DāArtagnan Jakob heās always liked having a unique name I wanted another boy to name Aramis Michael but god only blessed me with 1 son
