What's the most interesting, truly unique (not a 'creative' spelling, a food, etc) thing that you'd dare to name your kid?
If you don't like unique names, why not?

Can you tell I'm looking for name ideas? lol.

By the way of a side note, this community has 666 members. Scary.

I just had to go through them & make comments on the ones that had something spring to mind, because i love so many of your names!!

Alexia (defender of mankind – Greek) It's a learning dificulty.. but i like it. Alexa is also nice
Amelia (industrious, admiring – Latin) Just adore, number 1!
Aria (melody – Italian) beautiful meaning if you're musical & play/sing classically.
Athena (goddess of wisdom and war – Greek)My name means wisdom, If i wanted to keep some sort of tradition going then i may use this name! I love greek mythology too.
Bella (beautiful – Latin) gorgeous
Belladonna (beautiful woman – Italian)i cant get over the poisonous meaning
Charity (charity, kindness – English) i dont think this has such a nice meaning anymore, it doesnt sit easy with me calling a baby charity..

Daphne (laurel tree – Greek) loved this since scooby doo!
Elise (consecrated to god – German)greast nn (elle) & it sounds lovely
Ella (she – Spanish) bit trendy but that's only because it's a good name
Estella (star – Persian/Latin)growing on me every time i see it
Felicity (happiness – Latin)one of my absolute favourites. Happiness is such a nice meaning too!
Isabella (consecrated to god – Italian) trendy, same as ella.. just a testement to a beautiful name.
Julianna (soft haired, youthful – Spanish)like the name in full but dont care for julie
Kennedy (chief of Hemlet – Celtic/Gaelic)no no no it doesnt go with your kids naems at all, sounds too trendy & madison-esque
Kiara (small, dark – Celtic/Gaelic))
Lola (Spanish)love, Lo is such a cute nn. not sure it would age well though.

that's cool about your friends cousin sons name. when I first had him his pediatrian told me that she had 2 other Draven's and is amazed cuz she had never heard the name before. My son is the only Draven I know so far...it will be neat to meet more kids with that name.

I love a lot of greek/egytian.....mythology. I feel in love with it years ago and we went back and forth with names and this one was the one that my husband and I both agreed on.....oddly enough. And the middle name....well it was either Aria(cuz we are a very musical family) or Arianna and arianna won.

I LOVE maximilian...but my husband was all...what if he grows up and he's poor. wouldn't that be ironic. haha! my husband the optimist ;P

oh thats cute, i never thought of that. :D

i love the name max, it shifts between #1 and #2 on our list now. i could never use maximilian though, its the name of a major construction company in the town/area i live in!! their signs/trucks/stuff is everywhere!! and i dont like maxim, yuck. i think we are just going to stick with plain old max. :)

I love max too. It's a short but strong name I think.
