Dan asked in Pregnancy & ParentingBaby Names · 1 decade ago

I need an unusual but pretty name for a baby girl?

My wife and I are up in the air regarding a name for our baby girl. We have about 4 months to decide, but would prefer to get it figured out now. We both have different tastes in baby names. She is a little more traditional than I am. We are looking for something unique but not too off the wall. Does anyone have any suggestions? Please include the origin and meaning if you can.

    Aurora ;) I'm not being egotistical as it's not my real name but it's French for 'the dawn' and is also the name of the princess in Sleeping Beauty.

    I really like Willow and Harlow. They both sound unique to me but also really classy. Also I really like the name Ava.

    Willow- means freedom origin- English

    Harlow- does not have meaning or origin sorry!

    Ava- means A bird origin German

    Sorry about not having a name or meaning of Harlow. There wasn't one.

    You can always go on the website babynames.com, but I prefer the name Lena. It isn't too common, but is also easy to pronounce.

    The meaning of the name Lena is Woman Of Magdala

    The origin of the name Lena is Hebrew

    It can be short for Belinda.

  • 1 decade ago

    Stop to think. Is my child going to have to tell other people how to pronounce or spell it's name the rest of it's life? It can be VERY annoying.

    I hate my name for that reason and I gave my children traditional names.

    These are pretty names.
