Keep in mind - DD's name is Madeline, DS's name is Blake and I have no issues choosing a name that doesn't 'blend' .
And you can pick more than one answer - so if you like Ryder but not Oriana, leave me a comment so I can seriously sort this name issue out once and for all!!!
Can I add a comment too??? I think the problem with "unique" names is that often they dont turn out to be that unique after all. With everyone striving to be "different" everyone ends up being the same. (eg. Nine years ago my friend called her daughter Ella. It was very unique at the time, no-one we knew or had heard of had used it. Now every second kid is called Ella!!) Unless of course the name is very unique and then the poor child will either be (a) picked on, (b) have to spell out their name for everyone their entire life, (c) have to live with people mispronouncing and/or misspelling their name their entire lives.
Also, there is a very fine line between unique and "bogan". (Speaking generally, not saying any of your names are bogan names!!!!)
That said, I understand you dont want a traditional name that is too common. So I understand your dilemma!!!!
Oooh selling belly as advertising space! What a great idea, i wonder who would buy? Could you imagine something like VB? Bet that would go down well on the morning shows
Ok, off topic now.... Maybe another thread is required to ponder this concept
I prefer uncommon names, whether they be unique or traditional. I find Jett & Ryder too popular and a bit too latest-name-fad. My boys name vote from your list is Fletcher. I really like it, though surnames as first names is a big fad at the moment too.
Georgia was overdone a few years ago so too common for me. I voted for Paige but Oriana is lovely too and less common Im sure.
