I would like some unique names, for both boys & girls, but nothing that will get them teased or be hard to?

Question

pronounce.
Also is it true that a general rule to follow when naming your child, is that if you have along last name, give your child a short first name, and vice versa?

Answer 1

i would say the most important thing is watching how the names flow on rather than their length. eg, avoid a silent 'e' at the end of a name when the last name starts with a vowel or 'h'.

and dont match letters at the end of the first name with the start of the last name, eg Kayla Andersen. tends to run on and she becomes 'kaylaaaandersen'

if youre looking for unique names, search baby name sites for popular names, but go to the bottom of the list, aroung 100-200. these produce great names that are more unique but people should still know how to pronounce and spell.

good luck with everything

Answer 3

What you mentioned about the naming rule is a great guideline for getting a name to sounds just right. Also a 2 sylable last name should have a 2 sylable first name.

Answer 4

I think you are right to want unique names that will prevent them from getting teased! We want our children to stand out, but we also want them to fit in!

For that reason, I would recommend names that are in the top 200 (not too weird) but not in the top 50. That will make them not too common.

Of those names, here are the ones I love!

#53 Connor for a boy
# 54 Hunter for a boy and Zoe for a girl
# 56 Diego for a boy
#57 Maya for a girl
#58 Owen for a boy
#63 Adrian for a boy and Trinity for a girl
# 68 Audrey for a girl
# 69 Nathaniel for a boy (nickname Nate)
# 73 Jocelyn for a girl
# 75 Carter for a boy
# 76 Sebastian for a boy or Paige for a girl
# 78 Xavier for a boy
#79 Vanessa for a girl (nickname Nessa)
#81 Ian for a boy
#82 Wyatt for a boy or Amelia for a girl (Nickname Mimi or Millie)
# 86 Tristan for a boy and Claire for a girl
#95 Henry for a boy
# 98 Liam for a boy and Gianna for a girl
#100 Layla for a girl
#103 Seth for a boy
104 Marissa for a girl
109 Keira for a girl
113 Cooper for a boy (Coop for short)
114 Preston for a boy
116 Parker for a boy and Danielle for a girl

125 Trevor for a boy
131 Omar for a boy and Lydia for a girl
133 Colton for a boy and Shelby for a girl
135 Serenity for a girl
136 Damian for a boy

I would say the flow of how the two names sound together is more important.

Couple of suggestions
Kendall for a girl
Paige for a girl
Callie for a girl
Callahan for a girl
Xander for a boy
Murphy for a boy
Harris for a boy

Answer 6

take a look at
http://www.doodlebugdezigns.com

in their link's section they have several links to baby naming services.

one thing that i've noticed is that many folks are now using common last names as their childs first name ~ fuller, carter, regan, etc. as a general rule i'd agree if you have a long last name have a short first name, just my opinion though

Answer 7

Girls:
Laurel
AnnaPurna
Rahel (not Rachel, but Rahel)
Helene
Liat
Jordana
Hanna

Boys:
Jonah
Jordan
Daniel
Ariel (yes, for a boy)
Devin
Kenneth (or Ken for short)
Cole
Nicholaus
Cody

Hope this helped!
And with the first/last name thing, It all depends on how it flows, I think.

Answer 8

i don't think you have to follow any rules when naming your child. my daughters' names are not unique, desiree & devon, but they're not overly used either.
if you want unique but not hard to spell or tease-worthy, try checking out a book of baby names from other countries. i didn't use a baby book but my firstborn's name is french and the baby's name is japanese.

japanese girl's name are really nice. like tamiko, yuri(unisex), devon(unisex), komiko
russian girl's names are cool too. natalya, milla, petra

i'm not much help with boys names. however, i have a friend who has a son. since her son was going to have her husband's last name, she used her maiden name as her son's first name. her maiden name is "malloy", but she redid the spelling & named him " m'loye ". crafty

good luck

There are some real dork-butts out there that voted me down. She said unique, not weird-***. Also said short, not three syllables and difficult spellings. I don't see here anything that's worse than anybody else's stab at this, dork-butts.
