You can find an unusual name without resorting to one that looks like a bad Scrabble hand.

If you don't want your daughter to be the umpteenth Ashley Nicole in her class, choose an old name that's identifiably English-language, but one that doesn't look like you read it off a churchyard tombstone.

Not Hazel. What if she has brown eyes instead?

Aunisty Dream Rain is positively idiotic. Trust me, she'll hate you for that one. And rightly so.

If you're African American, the rules (if any) are different. I'd suggest you find a Swahili/English dictionary, and give her a name that sounds nice and reflects a quality you'd like for her to admire and live up to. (Doesn't Uhuru mean Freedom? Something like that.)

Hazen Dream Rain and Aunisty Dream Rain will both land your daughter in name change court at the age of 18, changing her name to Kathy Smith.

First of all - NIX on "Dream" as a name. That SCREAMS "my mother is a pretentious New-Age hippie."

How about "Hazel" instead of Hazen? It's a highly unusual name on its own these days, but not so far out there that it's ridiculous. The hazel tree has special connotations of strength and mystical energy, especially to the Irish. "Hazel" also won't get the continual "Purple Hazen" sort of druggie-stoner nicknames that will follow a little "Hazen" around forever.

Also "Rain" is not so unusual that it's bizarre - you might even use the Scottish spelling: "Rahne" if you want to make it kind of unique.

If you name your daughter "Aunisty" she will go through life correcting it from "Honesty." Why not just go with:

Hazel Rahne
or
Honesty Rain?

One warning though - naming a child after a specific virtue, such as Honesty, Faith, Charity, Hope, Mercy, Chastity, etc. usually guarantees that:

Honesty will be a liar,
Faith will be an atheist or a hypocrite,
Hope will be a pessimist,
Mercy will be a nasty authoritarian,
Charity will be a selfish miser,
Chastity will be a s l u t,

Etc.

Please consider the actual effect a name will have on your child at all stages of her life, childhood, teen years, college years, love relationships, and old age before you give her some fly-by-night trendeigh-for-a-year name.

Unfortunately the harder you try to think of a crazy wierd name, the more it will sound like you tried to come up with the craziest wierded name you could think of! How about something simple? But also, think of their future. Who wants to hire a lawyer or be treated by a doctor named Hazen Dream Rain? Or Sunny Dimples Rainbow? Or Winter Spring Summer??????

Do you just want your children to hate you? Or do you want your children to be made fun of and tormented at school? I have an unusual name myself and ALL I prayed for as a child was a normal name like Beth or Kim or Jenny or Sara. Even still I consider changing my name.

Just my opinion but you may be doing her a disservice by going with an unusual name...its sort of like a tattoo...it may be cute when they are young but she'll get reall tired of explaining to people in 50 yrs
