    We have a new mum at the school (hello if you lurk)

    Her name is B r y n j a. Which I think is really pretty when written down. We asked her how to say it and she said "like Brin' ya own drinks" I can't think of her son's name but the other is pronounced Justice.

    I spaced it in the hope google doesn't pick it up when putting it all together LOL

    The name Paisley as a child's name makes me giggle a little (sorry). It is where my children were born in Scotland, not a very nice town.

    My 2nd girl's name was Niamh (Neeve) which you don't get a lot over here, it is more a celtic name.

    I also love Seona (Show-na), Morag and Iona for a girl.

    Ok so some of the names that I like or are in my family - perhaps not the most unusual names but cute and not too out there:

    Calais - like the car but not named after the car - actually a French sea port
    Sway-lee
    Willow - ok so this is getting a bit common now but wasnt when I named my neice 6 years ago - I hadnt actually heard of a child with that name
    Astrabella - my favourite - if I was having a girl she would have this name - meaning beautiful star!
    Harper (girl)
    Hudson
    Avalon - I know Ava is really popular but I prefer this.

    Something people find really funny about our family is all of the kids have a connection with a car in their names, wasnt intentional at the time of naming but now we think about it they all do, my oldest brother has two kiddies:

    Lincoln - an old car I am told (perhaps popular before my time)
    Hermione Avalon - Avalon being a current type of car

    And my other brother has three daughters:
    Calais - Holden
    Willow - as in Willowbank raceway
    Holly - as in Holly Carboretor

    So we are thinking of naming our son:

    Hunter Cruz - just to keep with the family tradition of having the motor vehicle connection.

    I think you are right with unusual names becoming popular over time, a lot of the names in my family have become popular since they were little:

    Khala - actually pronounced Kayla - but she is 25 so unheard of when she was little
    India - again unheard of 18 years ago but now getting quite popular
    Maddison - very unusual 20 years ago when she was born
    Perrii - girl - unusual and still not popular lol
    Amity
    Sian
