Unusual / Uncommon Baby names - help me create a list!

[Maruschke]

DH & I have been searching through all of the common / contempary baby names for a boy, and cannot find a single one that we like.

We would like something uncommon, but yet obvious in terms of pronunciation.

Any ideas?

[Aimz]

My suggestions are...

Arlen
Jagger
Baxter
Xavier
Lennox
Drake

Some of the others on our boy's list were:

Declan

Tyrone

For girls I love Mehkelti and Maruschke. But, I put Maruschke out on the threads and didn't get many favourable responses.

What about Dante / Savion?

Mel I sent you a PM but your PM box is full .

[Arimeh]

Candice - have cleared

I like Dante - just reminds me of that movie though.. lol

Asher
Ari
Austin
Zane
Zade
Kade
Brinley
Layne
Saul
Silus
Pheonix
Dustin
Thorr (Tor)
River
Bryden
Andre
Hemi
Kynan
Kyan
Reife
Kye

I wish I'd have seen Hemi before! I love it & I know DH would've agreed! I think its cool! Too late to change his name now though!!

I found a link to a list of uncommon baby names if anyone else is interested.

[Aimz]

Ooooh I LOVE Dante!!

I'm a big fan of Macarien as well!

[Maruschke]

bj - I like Jacobi!

Is Macarien pronounced Maca-rien (like the dance Maca-rena) or Ma-carien ? I like the second pronounciation!

Other girls names we like (girls are so easy!) Zardi / Zahrdi, Zandi. We quite like x / z names .

[Arimeh]

Thanks Candice - I might need that link when I've got #3 on the way.....

Oh and the pronounciation is the way you like

[Aimz]

From what I remember from Mel's thread ages ago - Macarien is pronounced like Mark-air-ian..

Am I right Mel?

[Arimeh]

Aims - I think I had it spelt out like this :-
Mar-care-ree-en

cos thats how we pronounced it.

So if we have a boy that will most probably be his name (and the next one will be a boy... I know it)

[Aimz]

That's what I meant Mel!! I went looking for the thread but I couldn't find it!

LOVE IT!

What did you have for a middle name again Mel?
