Re: Favorite unique girl names

Carmen

Aurora nn Rory
Fiona
Natalia nn Talia
Simona
Flora
Dahlia
Lalika
Veronika nn Vera
Lourdes
Melina
Memphis
Indigo
Esme
Millicent nn Millie
Iris, will get more common
Genevieve
Jane-actually, Jane is kind of unique these days as a first name.

My faves on this list are Carmen, Flora, Veronika (with a "k") or Veronica (with a "c"), Iris, Genevieve, and Jane. My very faves are Flora, Genevieve, and Veronica. Flora would be a lot of fun to say all day long plus it isn't that long so it would be easy to fill out forms!
