What are some unique names that you've heard of? Maybe you liked them maybe you didn't but you thought that they were different!

Of course since I look for Biblical names, you always find some strange ones but some that I saw and actually liked are:

Hadassah (Haddy for short)
Selah
Zapporah (zippie for short)

and for a boy of course:
Justus (which i'm considering)

I'm sure there are more, but can't think of them at this moment

I like Hezekiah.. could be Ky for short. Thats all I can think of for now.

Nevaeh (Neh-vay-uh)

It's a little girl's name at our church. It's heaven spelled backwards.

Our pastors have named all their children "obscure J Biblical names." One is Jakin [jay-kin] (a pillar of the temple), Jorah, and Janae (not sure how they spell her name.)

With Bri, we considered Dominique Storm or Izabella Raine. Dom and Izzy aren't different names, but Storm and Raine are, LOL.

Cheryl, my cousin's little girl's name is Emily Neavah. Emily is after my mom and my cuz wanted to name her Emily Heaven, but his wife didn't like that, and she turned it around. They didn't know it was really a name, she thought she was making it up, until I told her about a pizza place near me that's Neavah's Pizzaria. It's a family name for the family who owns the place.

Esther, I love the name Justus. It's so strong sounding. Like dominique. They're both STRONG MANLY names, LOL. Love them.

thanks Kana!

Nevaeh is really big right now! i think it's pretty.

I too like unusal names hence Sinead Tegan lol but they are not biblical, just irish.

I will have to have a scan of the bible to see if I can find some lol.

They don't have to be Biblical.

I was just wondering what unique names you've heard of !:-D

Some of my family names are Oriette (Ori, pronounced "Oh-Ree"), Edna is unique. ::snort:: I know we have some other "weird" names in the family, I'm just having a major brain dump.... ugh... I'll call mom and get back to you! :)

I like things like

Dillan (boy)
Donal (boy)
Bronagh (girl- bro + nah)
Nola (girl)

Ooo I like the name Selah

I have a co-worker name Heaven :-D
A friend of mine has a son name Prince Jesus...kid you not he's 3

Ooo I like the name Selah

A friend of mine who just had a baby boy actually named her little boy Justice Boaz. Other unusual Biblical names, I have heard Keziah ( I think it was one of Job's daughter's) Keturah. I Actually really like Zipporah :)

An Irish name I like is Niamh pronounce Neve

An Irish name I like is Niamh pronounce Neve

I love Niamh, if I ever have any more children I would love a little girl named Naimh.

I remembered another family name... Lafronia- Luh-fro-nya. Weird, huh? These are names from my Conch (Key West) relatives who came up from the Bahamas. They had some unusual names!

One of my friends from Church named their little girl Selah.

My favorite tiger when I worked at the was named Neva pronounced like Nevaeh, just thought I would throw out a different spelling. It means snow when spelt that way.

I like Hezekiah.. could be Ky for short. Thats all I can think of for now.

My sister likes this for a boy - would nickname him kiah though....

my son's middle name is Kors. it is an old dutch name that has been passed down throught 8 or 8 generations. it is my dad and oldest brothers first name. and all of us kids have a son with it as a middle name
Aidan Kors
Jakob Kors
and Kaden Kors

I can't think of any unusual names myself. But I *really* like Selah, Zipporah and Hezekiah :) They're just different enough, but not completely off the wall teehee

Not unique but what about:

Jacqueline
Charlotte
Corrine
Genevieve

That reminded me of a family where I grew up (BC) who named all their kids with ocean names. The only two I can remember is their son Finn and daughter Naeco (ocean spelled backwards). They had more kids though.. I just can't think of their names!

My Dad's middle name is Orion. :-)

tralissa
:-)

Tanner
Tully
Tatum
Konner (for a girl)

Tara : LOL : just teasing!

Okay, I'll weigh in on my opinion, too! :mrgreen:

I love the name Justus. It reminds me of my hubby's name. And I also love the name Selah! We named our kitten Selah Praise. heehee! :lol: I'd have saved it for another girl if we could have more, but I'm out of chances. I've heard Selah pronounced Say-lah and See-lah. We went with See-lah and call her Se-Se (see-see). [cheerful]

I have a girlfriend who named her kids Trinity and Christian. I just love those names. What a testimony. heehee!

Names of other friends' kids (all girls names).... Destiny and Melody. Jocelyn. Shelby. Tierra. Bethany. Shenelle. Corinne. Tatiana. Annalee. Jillerie (that was a friend of mine in jr. high). Arielle. Elaina. Christalyn. Aurora. Makelle (don't know the spelling on that one). Delaney. [whatthink] Okay, I guess that's it for now.

[lovesign]

Joy [welcomewave]

Could never to Tatiana after the most recent season of American Idol...

HA!

since we had gone with all A names if Aidan had been a girl his name would have been Arwen. Heard it in Lord of the Rings and loved it! She was an elf princess and was supose to be the most beautiful person ever.

Oh I have to add Ender. My BIL and SIL got the name from some sci-fi book. His name is Jack Ender

Not sure if this one has been mentioned, I have early morning mom brain lol. I like Coral for a girl, and also Savangh (not sure how you spell it).

One unsual 1 at Sineads school is John-Rap

Kellen, kinda like Helen but with a K
Oray this would be a boys name
Harley (boys)
Hosea (boys)
Hope (girl)
Zea (girl)

This is kind of different but *if* we have another girl we will be giving her the middle name Love. Gabriella's middle name is Faith, Azalia's middle name is Hope, and so we thought we'd keep the theme.

I love Oray! I think of Oray Maine from the North and the South. I loved that miniseries (as many of my facebook friends probably know from my recent pics of the plantation where it was filmed!)

Oray....my brother just named his baby that :-D last week
