Most Unusual Names. How do You Name Your Children?

For most of us where I come from, we have names for our child based on the circustances that surround the birth of that child, so in any case if a child is born in a specific situation, that will form the basis of naming them.

I chose names that both my husband and I liked. They were not that common at the time and not over used. My girls names are Christina, Ashley and Nicole. My best friend carried on a tradition her mother started. All of their names started with the letter J. The kids in the family were Jackie, Jeanie, Jeff and James (Jimbo)--even the nickname had a "j" name. Her kids are named Jeremy, Jared and Justin. It's too bad her husband's name does not start with a "J"...lol!! I'm surprised she didn't make that a requirement for a husband...to have a name that started with a "J"" haha

My youngest daughter is named Saliea Dawn She was named after her Aunt Sally, Aunt Georgia Lee and her older sister Donna and her middle name is after her father Don. When she was born she was a suprise for the Doctors thought when we took the sona gram that it was a boy instead.Her little hand was positioned in the wrong spot LOL.So the whole time I was pregnant with her I was thought I was expecting a 8-10 lb baby boy.Because that is what the doctors said because of the size I was.I was hugh LOL .But when it came time to give birth she was a surprise to the doctor and myself.She weighed 5lbs and 15 oz.and was 18 ins long. instead of an 8-10 lbs baby boy.Which I was expecting I thought. I had a boys name all picked out and everything.So when she was born I didnt have a named picked out for her. So I deceide to name her after my 2 sisters and her older sister.So her name became SA after her Aunt Sally, LIE after her Aunt Georgia and A after her sister Donna (SALIEA). She was very special indeed for she was also born with a raised birth mark on the right side of her head just above her temple in the shape of an F and E combined. My mothers name was Eva she must of been watching over her when I was carring her.

With my daughter I had been talking to someone on the computer the night before she was born. He was telling me the names of his kids and one stuck. When I was pregnant with my son I was working and would drive past this road everyday-Devonshire. And everytime I thought of names, Devin was always there. I think it's weird how names fit. It doesn't matter how odd the name, it still fits the person. I couldn't imagine any other name on my kids.

i too like to name my children with names that aren't too common but go with the flow here you could say. for my first child, his name was inspired through my dreams. almost all the boys that i knew in my dreams basically had the same name; chris or something around there. so i modified it. i'm expecting my second one now. i have no idea what to name her. but i basically like to go for names different from the siblings and not heard among the society here.

With my oldest we really thought we were having a boy and didn't even discuss girl names. Well surprise, out comes a girl. I had always liked the name Kaitlin and we are christians so we wanted a biblical name or a name with a good meaning so we used Rachel for her middle name. Her name means Pure Lamb. Our second was a boy, we named him Joshua, after Joshua in the bible and Michael after his daddy. His name means Jehovah saves Who is like the Lord. Our third, a girl we named Aliyah Joy, which means Exalted Joy and she has always been so happy! Our last, another girl is Alexandra Hope, which means Defender of mankind and Hope. So for me, what was important was the meaning of the name. I didn't want some name that meant dark water or something like that!

HI rose,i m an indian and in our country mostly names have meanings or it represents something,like my name is a name of a specie of a bird and my hubby's name's means air- pawan.coming out of an ancient script-devnagiri,they have meanings and are unusual who are ignorant to this script.

Well, my mother definitely liked the idea of different names for us girls. My first name is Reina - which if I was of hispanic descent that would be ok, but I'm not. I'm about as white-bread American as you can get. I don't even use that name - except on legal documents - because no one can pronounce it correctly. My sister's given name is Anastasia - which we don't use, she's Stacy. And my other sister was born with Kennette - we call her Kennie. We feel those are pretty bizairre names. My brothers are Patrick and Chirstopher - pretty "normal" names. I was pretty particular when I named my kids. I didn't want anything "weird" and I even made sure their initial weren't something strange either.

I have 2 children and we looked through a baby name book and wrote down all the names that we liked. Then put 2 names together with our last name and decided which we liked best. We chose names that are popular but not overly popular and names that people can say and spell too.

My oldest child is named after my father who is the light of my life. I felt my father was a great man and I wanted to honor him by naming my first born after him. I was getting a divorce at the time so there was no question of naming him after his father. My second son whom I had with my new husband was named partly after my brother. I made his middle name my brothers first name. Other than that we looked in a baby name book to try and find the first name. I looked at the names and tried to figure out what a cruel child could make out of it and if he could be made fun of about his name. I eliminated many names that way. My husband wanted to name him Zebadiah but I thought it was too old of a name. We settled on Zachariah. I wish now I would have named him as my husband wanted becasue there are a lot of Zac's around.

I used names that both my husband and I could agree on. I came up with the names for all of my children though. My husband did choose my youngest daughter's middle name. None of my children have family names. I have Chandler Colin, Griffen Walker, Justice Victoria and Millanah Devin. I wanted names that weren't unusual but not overly used either.

My children have unusual names, it is their name made just for them. I don't want them walking down the street only to meet 5 other people with the same name. I have an unusual name and I love it, I was nearly 30 before I met anyone with my name, and I wasn't happy about having to share it all of a sudden. So far I haven't met anyone with my children's name and I have still only met the one other with my name

Well I have a very common name: David. My sister, however was named after an old family last name. Her name is Miley. That name was unusual until Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana) came out. Now I have heard of more and more babies being named Miley.

We looked for our girls names anywhere we could and picked ones we liked. Our first girl has a unique middle name and our second one has a unique first name. Mackenzie Rayne and Justice. Justice also has personal meaning to my husband. He wanted it since he was in highschool.

i have four children and i think they have unusual names. their names are Justice, Jury, Judge and Judiciary.

Almost parents choose the children´names without think on children who use them. It is a fashion to named movie stars or idols or personages they incarned. I think we are induced to name children that way. Before my children born I had not an idea to name them, I did not choose any name because I did not know the gender of baby and on deliveries the names happened on my mind. My children are named like the royal Sweden family, a pure coincidence which later I liked to know. Who inspire me to name them?

I name my child in this way:my first name followed by my wife's first name.

I don't have any kids right now, but I have a name picked out for a girl if I have one. It's Brooklynne Ciara Michelle. I really like the name Brooklyn, but I wanted to include some family too. My sister's middle name is Lynne so that's where I got that. Then my grandma wanted to name me Ciara and my mom decided not to. Then Michelle is my other sister's middle name. I have no clue what I'd name a boy if I had one.
