(I got this from the "Project Pregnancy" blog on Parenting.com )
You know, that name that is a little different, seemingly not your style at all, and would get the side-eye from certain friends and family?
Mine is Harper ( Same as the blogger.) Yeah, I know that it's not a strange name by any means, but it's one of those names that people either love or hate. When I see people naming their little girls Harper, I get the warm and fuzzies.
Re: What's your favorite "out there" name?
Phinnaeus
Our girl name choices were: *drum roll please... hehe*
Harper Lorraine
Finley Lorraine
Emerson Lorraine
We chose the name Liam Patrick for our son.
I like some of the "out there" names.. but not the names that seem made up like my nephew is Calyx... WTF?!?! hehe
Ooh, have a girl next time! Another Harper!
::heart melts::
Lol, I love that name too!! I have a friend that named her daughter Sawyer.... she is absolutely adorable! I love that name too!!
Elizabeth 5yrs old Jane 3yrs old

OOOh! I like Harper for a girl. That's so pretty.
We had a lot that our families didn't like, but none that were real out there. I like Mason.
We also seriously considered Anakin Luke so DH could say "Luke, I am your father."
We also considered Roland Lestat Oliver, but everyone HATED that. I would have called him Roly Poly Olie!
DH and I love the name Magnolia. But knew we'd probably get a lot of grief for it - so we went with other favorite weird name - Everly.
But Magnolia still may happen if we have another girl one day.
We're naming our little guy "Zane" my daughter is Rhiannon after the Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks song.
I'm a florist so I also like the floral names--like Poppy and Peony.
Phinnaeus and Ferb!! I love that show!
Everly is really cute!!
we have an Everly too! i am in love with it- i dont think its weird at all!
I also loved Harlow (before Nicolr Richie snatched it) and Arden for a girl.
Ok, since I've commented on other posts, here's mine:
For a girl, I like Ethan (not out there, but it's traditionally male...), Eponine, Esmee, Cadence, and Ashlyn. I Would have Ann or Elizabeth or something for the middle name of any of those, but I really don't like traditional names for girls. Since my name is Brittany, there were a million other Brittanys everywhere I went growing up, so I'd want a more uncommon name for my girl.
For boys we picked Connor for our LO, but I like Asher, Hunter, and Faber (my maiden name).
Connor is the absolute only name that DH and I could agree on. His ONLY suggestion for a girl was Kennedy (which is totally NMS, I would never name my kid that), then he told me that I couldn't name our son (if we ever have a 2nd) Faber because "you can't have last names for first names." At which point I used his logic to veto Kennedy.
We are naming our baby Mason...I love it!
If we were having a gurl, we would name her London Gabriella! One of my friends suggested Harper...it's really cute!
Aw... Harper Morgan was our little girl name! Dunno if we're still going to use it... I'm really liking Elizabeth these days (like Charles, there are many nickname possibilities, and thus different ways to identify oneself with a name).
My fave "out there" names...
I've always liked geographical names, but those are now all taken by celebs and strippers (Savannah, Paris, Shiloh, etc.)
I love flower names (Daisy, Rose, Lily, Camellia (or Camille), Iris)
I also love Jasper
If we were ever to have another girl, I really love the names Waverly and Cordelia. Unfortunately DH thinks they are both "weird".
Scarlett! I love it. Not that it's out there, it's just not the style of the other names & DH would think I was crazy.
For a boy, I don't really have any that are too out there. I really like Damien but the movie The Omen ruined it for my DH & everyone in my family!
Oh and for a girl...Leighton. So Cute.
I'm pretty sure we are going with Lucas Christopher.
Our first name pick is Darby for either sex.
I also like Asher, Finn, Azalea, and Cordelia.
