Hello,

I'm new to this community but have had an obsession with names since I was little, so I guess this really is the right place for me ;)

Perhaps my obsession with names is a result of my own rather unique name, but who knows... ^.^

I tend to like unique and uncommon names, and although I don't have any children and don't plan on having any in the near future I still think a lot about them, but unfortunately, I'm also awfully picky.
Besides, I'm German but I think German names are pretty boring (I hope I'm not offending anybody by saying this, it's just my opinion and other people might very well like German names, which is also fine with me).

Despite all that, here are my personal favourites:

Girls:

- Kela (pronounced Kay-La)
- Illeana
- Isis
- Leia

Boys:

- Luke
- Josiah
- Keziah
- Nathan
- Rei

What do you think of them, any other suggestion that involve unique and unusual names?
I'd be very thankful (:

Leia and Luke, eh?

Kela spelled Kayla qualifies as a common name where I live. I can think of three off the top of my head, and I know there are more.

Heh... that's just a coincidence, I assure you... I wouldn't use those two names in combination :p

Really? Never heard of someone with that name here in Germany, it's entirely uncommon here ^^

Leia is a favorite. I don't see how you can get Kayla from Kela, just spell it Kayla? It looks like 'kel-a'. Luke and Nathan are cute! Keziah and Rei (is that Ray?) I don't like.

[amai-amaya.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but if I changed the name to Kayla we in Germany would no longer pronounce it that way ;p

[morphinae.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, that accounts for the difference, I didn't know you were IN Germany, I thought you just made up a spelling!

[amai-amaya.livejournal.com]

Oh, all right, sorry for the misunderstanding there (=
No, I'd always leave the spelling as it is, I don't think you need an uncommon spelling for an already uncommon name ;)

I love german names! but if you live there then yeah, they probably would sound pretty boring...

[amai-amaya.livejournal.com]

yeah, everyone here is named Christian, Michael, Alexander... nothing wrong with that, I just wouldn't want my child to have a name everyone else already has :)

[so-there.livejournal.com]

those don't even sound German to me... I think Dietrich (my son's name), Adolf, Gottfried, Greta, Franzi, and so on when I think of German names. I guess those are the "old people" names...

[amai-amaya.livejournal.com]

Right, those are names my grandma's generation would have been given, but I heard they're going to be modern and trendy again.

Same with boys a little younger than me here in Norway.

I really love the name Kela (as long as it's pronounced Kay-la)
I guess it's just weird seeing it spelled Kela. But I understand the language difference.

I have a friend whose named Kyna (Kee-nah). Its prety different, as I've never heard it used by anyone else, but I find it pretty.

[amai-amaya.livejournal.com]

I think Kyna is pretty, too. It has a very nice ring to it ^.^
