Wow! I love the name Seleh and it would be in the running if we didnt already know a little girl with that name. Ezekiel is one of our favorite boy names and we actually called our baby Zeke up until a month or so before he was born when we decided we liked Gideon better.

Sis named her daughter Shyla.

I like Poppy (girl) and Dash (boy).

I usually like pretty traditional names but these girls names appeal to me: 

Eden

Wren

Sloane-love this name--really wanted to use it for DD but doesn't go with our last name and DH would never use it b/c he is British and apparently it is a term used for yuppies --they call them Sloane Rangers (b/c they drive Range Rovers --the area is Sloane Square--I think_

Kenley--I know an adorable girl with this name

Emery

Boys--cant' think of any really unique names that I like--maybe Anderson or Mitchell.......

lisa5201

Boys: Crusoe, Cassius, Cannon, River

Not terribly unusual, but I adore the name Clementine.

For boys I have always liked Angus.

We're naming our baby Adleigh (Add-Lee) if it's a girl.  I've never heard it other than reading it to DH out of a baby name book and he immediately said "that's it" back when I was pregnant with DS.  He's never let it go, and i fell in love with it too, it just took me a little longer.

The only boy name that I can think of that I like that's unique is Barrett, but DH isn't a fan for a kid, so we named our dog that instead.

We are naming our girl Aurelia.

For boys, I've always liked the name Asher. DH and I also like the name Hiram.

Very pretty!  I have a friend in my blogging community that said she has a friend naming her daughter Aurelia Elizabeth.  I've never heard it before, but I think it's beautiful!

i luv the name sloane

I really like Kyan for a boy. But no one else I know has ever liked it. LOL

megstriesagain

For a boy: Kian (I'm with you!), Zakai, Augustus

For a girl: Iolani, Kateri, Henrietta, Aine, Aoife - and I'm with pp that have Selah and Aurelia!  Selah got vetoed b/c DH didn't want it pronounced SEE-la, and Aurelia is one of the few still on our very shaky list...

CourtneyRDH

Adelaide or Vera (it's a tie)

Todd (even though it's not that unusual)?
