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

[Maruschke]

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

[Maruschke]

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?

[~clover~]

My friends DS's name is Zarryod (Zarrod)

[Misskylie]

My partner and I have decided on the name Zane for our son..

its not that unusual but thought I'd throw it out there for you.

[Maruschke]

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. DH doesn't like Dante at all.

Malachi is lovely, but do you think it is getting common? DH likes Ardi.

[sneakysparkle]

I don't think Malachi is common - I think its a great name!
I think I like Arti more than Ardi...

I love maori names.
I know a Tahi & Unaru. But my friend spells it Anaru.

Another maori one is Typihi
Nunka (Aboriginal)
I love the maori name Atahua, but its a girl name.

Rua (Lake - maori)
Tane (maori god of the forest)
Hari (a colour)

Rua is also the number 'two' so could be well suited to a 2nd child. btw-(Tahi means the number one).
Hari as far as I know is not a colour - its meaning can be used as 'happy' though 'Koa' would be more appropriate. The use of Hari as happy would be in the context of 'happy birthday or happy anniversary'. Hari is a verb used in the meaning of taking/carrying something.
There is no 'y' in the maori alphabet, so the word/name Typihi would be spelt Taipihi. Which the meaning of would probably translate as 'Seagrass'.

I`m not saying you cant say, spell or pronounce a name anyway you want, but just want to help bring more understanding if those mentioned above were to be considered as Maori names.

BTW - Anaru is a transliteration of the name Andrew

Hi,

Really interesting thread and names. DS is nearly five and we ended up calling him Benicio. We couldn't pick a boys name and I became completely enamoured with the actor Benicio Del Toro while pregnant. In the end it was the only name we both agreed on.

Some people find it a little difficult to pronounce at first but it sure does stand out and if he doesn't like such a fancy name as he gets older, he can always use Ben. At the moment though he's not budging from Benicio and tells everyone that Ben is not his name.
