Bengal - sorry but not once have I called anything "absolutely revolting"
(Sent from my phone, so I apologise if it makes no sense.)
I think she was referring to Heva and Zacky.
Ok cool. Thanks for clarifying N2L
(Sent from my phone, so I apologise if it makes no sense.)
I don't think she can claim Brynalee - I've heard other girls with that name or very similar! I am confused as to why you need to have a name that no one else has ever had (that's got to be niegh on impossible) - but each to their own I guess. She'd do well to just chuck a pile of letters in a hat and draw some out and see what she gets.
I so still think a child with a made up name will go through life being constantly frustrated by having pronounce and and spell it to everyone. I have a 'normal' name and people still can't spell it and it drives me crazy!
Some more from the book I'm reading ATM:
Tommen
Joffrey
Theon
Thoren
Rickon
Gared
Aegon
Aerys
Aeron
Renly
Stannis
Some of them are not too bad & I've never heard of anyone with these names. I quite like Tommen.
A friend just named their baby boy A T R E Y U. I googled it & it would appear it's prounced A-TRAY-U. I've never heard that one before either.
Oh I loved the never ending story. Yes it is a name from
That.

Heva and Zacky. and Lisa, thank you for your support.
To everyone that made fun of this thread I have just ignored your suggestions.
To everyone who gave real suggestions thank you.
My friend does just want to be different.
Dahyliana (dar-li-arn-a) is a pretty name I think, Air-a-lou is pretty too, sometimes I think I'd rather have a name like that for my child instead of Lily, Sophie, Ava, Lachlan and all those names that have been done a million times before, I'd rather my child be (in my case) Mary-Beth and be one of a very few than Mia and be one of five in her class.
BUT EACH TO THEIR OWN.
I really hope my friend doesn't ever join bellybelly as she will be shattered and disrespected and that is horrible.
Thanks again to those that actually helped, the reason I did part two was to try and get away from the rubbish that was being suggested in the first thread.
Oh well, I hope she gets a boys name soon as she feels she is having a boy, I will now try and get some of the real suggestions out of this thread by wading through the crap.
I just dug out my baby name book
a couple of Babylonian names - Shadrach and Shedrick
Basque names - Dunixi, Errando, Luken, Matai, Xarles
Benin names - Odion
Gypsy names - Bavol, Danior, Durriken, Nicabar
I can keep looking if you like??
Hun, there are some decent real ones in here, and FWIW who cares WHY someone wants a certain kind of name, each to their own. We loved our girls names and while we thought were not I early popular they were/are but I don't mind.
While some think it's horrible giving kids a 'different' name we ALL get asked at some point so who cares, I don't always agree or like names but hey it's not my kid

Yeah I found that when I googled. It's also the name of a band. I haven't heard of any people of any age with that name. I loved that movie when I was little but I haven't seen it in years & I can't remember much of it at all.
Duckyboos, I'm sorry you have experienced such a negative response to your thread. I hope your friend finds a name she loves. I totally agree, each to their own.
For what it's worth, my name is Lisa and it is pronounced Lees-uh, so fairly common. I am always asked how to spell my name and if it is read by someone I am often asked how it is pronounced as a lot of people think it is pronounced as Lee-zuh. Cat Stevens has a song called 'Sad Lisa' where the pronunciation is Lee-zuh.
My point is, even pretty common names cop the mispronunciation and misspelling stuff, not just the unique names so most people will go through life correcting the spelling and pronunciation of their names.
