Unusual names you love?

I read "The Nanny Diaries" and fell in love with the names Grayer and Nan. I think they're so cute! I was searching O names for a site and the name "Orobella" came up! What a perfect sub. for Isabella.

How about yours?

Re: Unusual names you love?

Azalea is really growing on me. I was thinking that Azzy would be a really cute nn.
there are so many Izzy's now with Isabella and all it's variations becoming so popular.
I think Azzy would stand out but fit in with all the Izzy's.

Re: Unusual names you love?

I can't find this listed as a name anywhere, but I love the word Reverie as a name for a girl. Just can't come up with any good combos....anyone think of something cute to use as a mn or a good fn to use with Reverie as a middle? Thanks in advance!

Re: Unusual names you love?

Temperance. I'd never use it, though ...

Re: Unusual names you love?

I like Remember. I also love the name Nova. So strong and direct!

"Seer-sha" IS the most commonly accepted pronunciation of Saoirse - in modern Irish, the combination AOI is almost always pronounced as a long "EE". The "Sair-sha" pronunciation can be emphasized if you really work at a 3-syllable pronunciation (i.e "Sai-EER-sha" but in the Irish accent this is elided into 2-syllables
