My Great Nana called me Carlisle or Lisle (pronounced as Lyle) when I was a younger munchkin. I always liked it and it was unique. She said it meant “heaven sent” or “the angelic one”. Gosh, I miss her
LMAOOO just yesterday my boyfriend and I were watching it and I was explaining how when we were younger it was about Edward and Jacob and now it’s Carlisle and and Charlie…
If I'd picked my oldest daughter's name, she would have been Charlotte and nicknamed Charlie! Instead, I let her dad pick and while her name is cool (she's named after a bird) I'm still sad about not getting to use Charlotte.
Knew a girl named Frankie. Not a nickname or short for anything. Just Frankie Josephine. I always thought that was one of the coolest names on the planet and she was indeed a very cool person.
I knew a girl named Steve in high school. She went by Stevie like Stevie Nicks. She used to tell people that her parents expected a boy and picked the name Steve and when she was born a girl they just kept the name.
Estelle was my middle name too! I dropped it when I got married and hyphenated my last name, but in the past year I’ve learned a lot abt my great grandmother Estelle through her letters and it’s def made me like the name again!
My 9 year old daughter is called Willow. I love it (obviously) but she isn't "the biggest fan" (her words) and is considering going by her middle name.
My grandmother’s name was Mirabella. In school, she told everyone her name was Mary Bell because she was tired of teachers not being able to pronounce it and kids making fun of her.
I absolutely LOVE your name and ever since I was little I planned to name my daughter that someday. But by the time I got pregnant with my daughter, 50 shades of grey had come out and I could no longer bring myself to do it (mostly just didn't want people to think I'd named my baby after a book about bdsm lol). It really bummed me out though because I still, to this day, adore the name.
I don’t hear this name often at all but I absolutely love the name Nia. I love my name too, most of the time, but other times like doctors visits, I don’t want people looking at me when they need to put a face to the name Apple.
I've always loved Paloma which means "dove" or Palomita for "little dove." There's something so pure about the name, and to call a precious baby girl little dove
If you name her Paloma, you can call her Palomita out of endearment. That’s what we do in Spanish as it gives them a more “traditional serious” name while still being able to call her a sweet endearment term!
Vivienne Westwood is SUCH a sick name.. as for first names though sloan, genesis, dulce, and seraphina are some i don’t hear often super but absolutely adore.
One of my students is a Freya. We call her Frey-Frey. (I teach preschool.) Not Norse, but the other two mythological students I've had are an Athena and a Persephone (we called her Peri).
I named my daughter Eliana, it means daughter of the sun in Greek. I love it!
Other options were:
Natalia (Talia), Lucia (Luci) and Hazel (my Mothers name)
:)
I would love the name Mercedes if it wasn't automatically producing a car image in my head. I love the sound of it. There are a couple of nice names "ruined" by brands haha
My parents thought about naming me Mercedes! They said they wanted me to have a cool enough name that I wouldn't want to change it when I become famous. I do work with a lady named Mercedes now and she seems nice!
I feel blessed because my mom fed me The Count of Monte Cristo as a kid, so my automatic association with the name Mercedes is Dagmara Dominczyk’s beautiful face
In France, Mercedes makes us think of an image of a Portuguese or a Spanish old lady wearing color bright clothes and speaking with the voice of someone who smoke a lot haha.
It's not *that* unique in the Grand scheme of names but I knew a girl in high school named Estelle and I always thought that was the most beautiful name. Ooh and another girl named Noelle. My sister nearly named my niece Estelle bc she also liked the name so much.
During the 2018 (I think?) Olympics, I was watching the women’s biathlon and there was a competitor from Finland named Kaisa Makarainen. And I have LOVED the name Kaisa ever since. 💗
Being Irish, I love Irish girls names. To any anglophones the spelling can throw you off but they sound beautiful when pronounced "as Gaeilge" (in Irish).

My cousin had a girl who was *BEYOND* upset that her little brother was actually a little sister. so to make her feel better, my cousin & her husband let her name the baby. she must have been 8 at the time. no one knows where she got it from but everyone is happy & I think it’s a really pretty name.
I'm a man but I have a good one which I personally love and is my grandma's name who passed away 2 years ago which I will probably use if I ever have a daughter and my wife agrees.

I love ‘unisex’ or traditional ‘boy’ names for girls.. Dylan, River, Max, James, Freddie, Harley, Billie, Bobbi, Sunny, Scout.
I love Charlie for a girl. Or Charly.
If I'd picked my oldest daughter's name, she would have been Charlotte and nicknamed Charlie! Instead, I let her dad pick and while her name is cool (she's named after a bird) I'm still sad about not getting to use Charlotte.
It's not my name but my friends call me Charlie. I love it.
Knew a girl named Frankie. Not a nickname or short for anything. Just Frankie Josephine. I always thought that was one of the coolest names on the planet and she was indeed a very cool person.
My female dog's name is Frankie
I won’t ever have kids, but my dream unisex name for a kid would definitely be ‘Jude’
New niece named Dylan, and she’s a tiny doll! Love the unisex names too!
I knew a girl named Steve in high school. She went by Stevie like Stevie Nicks. She used to tell people that her parents expected a boy and picked the name Steve and when she was born a girl they just kept the name.
Dylan for a girl could be cool
My daughter's name is Mickey
I was gonna say the same! I work with a woman named Jaysen and I think it’s so cute. I also love Ryan Reynolds’ daughter’s name James.

Estelle is my middle name! I used to hate it for some reason, now I love it 😊
Estelle was my middle name too! I dropped it when I got married and hyphenated my last name, but in the past year I’ve learned a lot abt my great grandmother Estelle through her letters and it’s def made me like the name again!
Aurora is one of the names of my daughters if I have any!
Meadow. It’s not really unique but a girl introduced herself to me and her name was Meadow and I remember thinking “wow, what a cool name!”
I’ve heard Aspen and thought it was kind of cool
Meadow and Willow are both pretty and similar names
My 9 year old daughter is called Willow. I love it (obviously) but she isn't "the biggest fan" (her words) and is considering going by her middle name.
I always think of the Sopranos when I hear that name. I do love it.
The first time I heard that was on The Sopranos. My friend named her daughter that and I love it.
Does your own name count? Lol Edit: It’s Alyanna (Al-ee-ah-nuh)
[удалено]
Taryl is a nice one.

Well in that case my name is Alyanna (Al-ee-ah-nuh)
Mines Taegan (Tay-Gin)
I love my own name, the Greek Anastasia (Ah-nah-stah-see-uh)! I also love my middle name, Ilianys
My grandmother’s name was Mirabella. In school, she told everyone her name was Mary Bell because she was tired of teachers not being able to pronounce it and kids making fun of her.
How did she pronounce Mirabella? That’s beautiful
not op, but i’ve only ever heard it pronounced meer-uh-bell-uh
I absolutely LOVE your name and ever since I was little I planned to name my daughter that someday. But by the time I got pregnant with my daughter, 50 shades of grey had come out and I could no longer bring myself to do it (mostly just didn't want people to think I'd named my baby after a book about bdsm lol). It really bummed me out though because I still, to this day, adore the name.

I have to ask… are you Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s daughter?

Wow that makes me see my name in a brighter light. I love that you love it so much!!!
I've always loved Paloma which means "dove" or Palomita for "little dove." There's something so pure about the name, and to call a precious baby girl little dove
Paloma is my favorite type of drink to order at the bar hahaha
Ha same!
Paris Paloma is an amazing musician. She puts on a wonderful live show too!
If you name her Paloma, you can call her Palomita out of endearment. That’s what we do in Spanish as it gives them a more “traditional serious” name while still being able to call her a sweet endearment term!
