What are your thoughts on unique names?

See, I personally love them, but I dont know if I would actually name my child some of these because I would be scared of them getting made fun of or something....then again, I think there is a ton of unique names that it wouldn't make them that different.

So these are the unique names I LOVE:

Sorrel
Truly
Juniper
Guinevere
Daya
Raven

Silas
Shiloh
Taran
Atreyu
Nehemiah

Does anyone else like these names?

I dont consider a lot of these to be unique. Guinevere, Shiloh, and Daya are a little old fashioned actually. I love the name Raven ((thank you The 100) The 100 is a tv show). I've never heard of sorrel, but I am a fan of Soren. I also like Juniper. That I find unique and cute. And the rest I either dont like or have never heard of let alone know how to pronounce properly.

I like uncommon names. Most of the names you have listed aren t unique to me at all; I have heard them all before except Sorrel (which is quite pretty), Taran and Atreyu (not a huge fan of either). I don t like names that sound made up.

I have little room to make comments on unique names since I gave my daughter a name that would very likely be considered unique by most people. (especially in my area.)

However, there are two things I do hate. One is changing the spelling of common names in an attempt to make them "unique". The second is taking ordinary words and using them as "names". If you can't tell if someone is talking about a certain person or a certain object, then it is probably a word that shouldn't be used as a name.

I like some unique names.Some unique names are just pushing it.Like Apple or Cocca for example they are not great at all.
