Baby names

What are some good unisex names that aren't the most popular names in the world, but also aren't crazy weird?

I find out the sex of the baby in a couple of weeks, but I'm one of those people that likes to have lists of names before I even know the sex... although I already know what the name's going to be if it's a boy.

Tell me names you guys like! :) if nothing else than for fun...and because I'm procastinating again.

Re: Okay...

I rarely ever reveal my secret stash of baby names... simply because i'm scared of them becoming big because one of them already is and i've had it in my head for about five years.

My husband and I have a few names for a girl....

Ava Reese (reason being... when we first started dating, one of our things we always talked about was Reese Witherspoon...we watched her movies and always thought her daughter was the cutest thing) Her daughters name is Ava and Reese is our common actress that we both love. Now, Ava is at the top of the baby list names... grrr.... it went under the radar for so long.

Milena - I became really close with an exchange student from Poland when I was a sophomore in high school. She was the kind of person that I always wanted to be like. Her personality has always been so sunny and she's probably the most interesting person i've ever met in my life. I miss her terribly. She lives in the UK now and goes to college. I haven't seen her since she left the US quite a few years ago. We all called her "Mel" for short.

Boys names - Dyzek Charles (Dyzek is Polish and we're Polish and Charles because my dad's name was Charles. Or Dyzek Howard (my dad's middle name).

My Uncle Dick's last name was Shaver. That's right, Dick Shaver. His two sons are Richard Jr (but he prefers to be called Ricky) and Peter so it's almost as bad for them.

One woman couldn't decide between Jamal and Joshua so she named her son Jamalshua.

Another child in my friend's speech pathology class's name was pronounced "shuh-teed" but was spelled Shithead.

And finally, my favorite, a woman heard the word meconium used in the delivery room and thought it was pretty so she named her daughter Meconium. For those who don't know what that is, it's the first shit a baby takes after it is born and it's gross and tar-like.

That's weird...my aunt is a nurse and she said that she had a patient named Meconium...She said they thought it was the most beautiful name ever!! What a pity the kid's named after gooey turd.
She also said that another patient named her kid "Labia". I feel SOOOO sorry for that poor kid.

you have got to be kidding! Labia?!
Honestly, Ive liked some weird names, but um... people are crazy.

Listen up people, this is what happens when your kids get stuck with stupid names like many of the names suggested here. Whatever happened to normal names like Sarah or Jane?

l don't know where they're going, but I miss them....I actually met a couple juvenile delinquents that were sisters, and their names were "Queen" and "Princess".

Re: Re: .

yeah, my husband's last name (which i didn't take) is wojtkiewicz. it's hard to pronounce, and hard to spell. unfortunately for this baby I'm favoring longer names, too, which my husband thinks is evil.
Im also trying to avoid popular names, although for a girl I like Sofija (it's the Croatian spelling. I know, weird).
Blake's a very cute unisex name. My first best friend's name was Blake!

Re: .

A couple of my best friend's are pregnant and they're having a girl. (They're a married couple not two individuals who are both having girls.) Their last name sucks and is really hard to name a kid with. They decided on Leah for the first name but can't pick out a middle name. They don't want a common one like Elizabeth, Lynn, Anne, and Ashley. All of the other ones I've suggested have been the "bad experience" names.

I understand the stress though. I think naming your child has to be one of the most important decisions of your life that won't be life or death. I sound overdramatic.

That being said. I thought of some more unisex names I like, Quen or (Quinn) and Blake.

I'm definitely not into names which are very common like Samantha (my name), Sarah, David, John, Brian etc.

I don't mind the idea of siblings having the same initials, but my cousin went a bit OTT, not only do her two sons have the same initals; RBB, they also have the same middle name, which is their dad's first name. He has a massive ego! =]

I used to love the name River. River was actually my middle school boyfriends name, and he was the one who got me in to Rooney. But.... I heard he moved to California and is now a heroin addict. So yeah, I could never name my child that lol.

Anybody else have those names that they like but could never name their child because they remind them of someone they don't like?

But I love the name Summer!

I like really WASPy names for my boys.
Nathaniel, Gabriel, Julian, and Elliot. It would be Nate, Gabe, Jude, and well, Elliot.
For girls I like Lilian, Beth Rose, Lucile, and Mateline. They would be Lily, Brose, Lucie, and Mattie.

My dad's name is Brice and there are actually a few girls I know named Brice. My sister has an asexual name though it isn't as much anymore, Lindsay. My name, Morgan, is also pretty asexual.
I like Carson, Brooks, Blair, and Cameron too.

my daughter's name is taylor. but in case anyone is wondering, no she is not named after taylor locke.

Jackoniah's not really appealing. I think another reason why I like Hezekiah so much is also because of the way Tony Curtis says the name in The Great Race. Neither is Evan for a girl. Now to think of it, it reminds me too much of Evan Rachael Wood.

that's your niece in the pic right? she's too cute! i remember at the glasshouse your sis was still preggers. congrats and well wishes to your family!

Brooke is a great name for a girl... I'm a little biased though lol.

I've always loved the name Landon for a boy or Leighton (I had an uncle Leighton). I actually kind of like Leighton for a girl too, like Leighton Meester from Gossip Girl.

I also like some of the other ones mentioned like Hayden, Peyton, and Riley.

And I've always loved the names Chloe, Blair, and Hope (my best friend's name).

Whatever you do PLEASE don't have all your children's names start with the same letter. Going to my friend Brittany's house is ridiculous. Everyone's names start with the letter B. Her mom is Beth, her dad is Bill, her siblings are: Baxter, Brian, Brooke, Blair, and Brody.
