Here are some of my favourite, unfortunately unusable girl names. Most of them are nature, place, word or international exotic names.
- Comet
Origin:
Nature nameDescription:
Soaring astral name has a great gender-free feel. It also has a pleasing christmas connotation, courtesy of the reindeer listed in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
- Etna
- Italia
Origin:
Italian place-nameDescription:
Authentic, melodic place-name for the adventurous, chosen by rapper LL Cool J for his daughter and given to nearly 80 baby girls in the US last year. Italia of course is what the Italians call Italy.
- Kismet
Origin:
Word nameMeaning:
"fate"Description:
The next Destiny? Kismet seems like it might be fated for increased use.
- Lillemor
Origin:
ScandinaviaMeaning:
"little mother"Description:
Lillemor is a relatively recent coinage in Scandinavia, where it was most popular in the 1930s and '40s, especially in Sweden. As such, it is considered rather dated in Scandinavia, but it would certainly make a fresh choice for lovers of "Lily" names abroad — although the "Lil" in this case actually comes from lille "little".
- Sunflower
- Wildflower
