I'm team green. Due 7/19. I previously posted about boy names (still undecided there) but thought I would ask for girl name help now.
My criteria:
Nothing popular - I'd prefer 500+ on SSA
Unique/uncommon but not too difficult to pronounce/spell.
Middle name is undecided.
TIA!

Elin is El-lin. Guinevere is Gwin-uh-veer. But it is a bit confusing, because the usual short for Guinevere is Gwen.

notmoose, Not a problem. Name popularity & naming trends are a fascination of mine. I'm still annoyed that our DD's name is similar to two popular names despite it's rarity (somehow I missed this with pregnancy brain): Leo & Chloe. I'll post it if you can't figure out what name is a combo of those two.  purple: I didn't even realize that I pronounced them differently until you posted that.

@kore it took me a minute but I think I know the name. I have to say if you wouldn't have mentioned Chloe and Leo, I would not have thought of those names when hearing your DDs! If I'm right, I love her name!

notmoose: Neither would I! My sister said Chloe was obvious, but it wasn't obvious to me until my parents called her that the day she was born. Leo I noticed because whenever I say her name people repeat back "Leo?" Instead.

Is Quinn a boy or girl name? My googling is giving me mixed answers. I'd consider it a unisex name, like Riley or Avery. I know girl and boy Quinns of various ages. It's ranked 79th for girls and 317th for boys as of 2016. |

So, I won't be telling MH he was right and it's a boy name. Lol I've only heard of girl Quinn's except one guy on Marvel Agents of Shield.
Even if it works for girls, 79 is too popular for me. 😩

My top girl's name that I couldn't even find on a top 1,000 list is Marlena. H didn't like it and I ended up having a boy anyways but I'm still obsessed with that name. I also really like Melina (Greek, meaning Honey) but I can see that as being too close to Melania nowadays.

It's ranked 79th for girls and 317th for boys as of 2016. This is where my foreign really shows. I would be very surprised to meet a female Quinn, Riley or Avery. This reminds me of a conversation on TCF when I mentioned that Ashley is an exclusively masculine name in my experience. All of those names - Quinn, Riley, Avery and Ashley - are decidedly not unisex in the UK. |
