I have always been facinated with baby names. I love playing with name variations and unique spellings. I had my 4 children 20-25 years ago, and was not brave enough to go with anything too unique in the 1980's (Lyndsy Suzette, James Allen jr, Heather Lynn, Stephen Ashley).

However, I have a whole list of unique baby names I never used that are absolutely beautiful (I think), and are up for grabs for anyone who would like to use them. My 22 year old daughter is 5 wks pregnant and selected one of my girl names if she has a girl.

Here is my list...

Girls

Honalei (Raelyn, Ocean, Sunshine, or Nicole are cute middle names)
Braelyn
Iralynn
Santina
Delaney
Journey
Amberlynn November (perfect for a little girl born in November)
K'Leigh
KC (Jade or Taylor are cute middle names)
Kyndall
Loralei Dawn
Ilissa
Jillian Renee (not too unique, but I love yhe way they sound together)
Liberty Juillet (perfect for July 4th girl - Juillet means July in French)
Merry Christine and Holly Christine (ideal for twin girls born around Christmas)

Boys

Julian Blaise (perfect for a little boy born on July 4th - Blaise is French and is pronounced Blaze))
Christian Noel (perfect for a little boy born on Christmas)
Brasher (very masculine yet very unique)
Terren Joel (TJ is a cute nickname)
Dakota Riley (I love the way these names sound together)
Devin Riley (very Irish)
Laney
Taylor Thomas or Taylor James (TJ for short)
Ayden Taylor
Brooke Taylor
Ian Brooke or Ian Taylor or Ian Riley
Eric Ian (an old friend of mine named her son this, and I always thought it was so cute)
Sebastian

So I am really curious about what you all think of these names. Please be honest. I will not get my feelings hurt - I promise. I spent a lot of time over the years pondering over them. I believe that a child's name should never be taken lightly. It is a very serious thing, and great care should be taken. Also let me know if you plan on using one of them.

I like Iralynn, Journey, Amberlynn November, and Loralei for girls and Terren Joel for a boy .... I think Laney and Brooke are too girly for a boy though.

My favorites are Lorelai, Julian(Julienne for a girl), Dakota(Dacotah for a girl), Devin(Devyn for a girl), Ayden(Aedan is the way spell it), Ian, and Sebastion.

lol Apparently we have similar taste in names. My daughters are named Taryn and Kyndel(Kendall). I don't hear either name very often and I love both of them. My son's name is Garrett which I think is unique enough as well. The little girl I'm carrying will be Tessa Adeline after a long and difficult search. I'm still in love with the name Ever Adeline ( I think it sounds like a fairytale name), but it doesn't really go well with our last name which is Porter. I think you have some great names listed

To SilverSky32,

How about Everlee, Everleigh, Everlei, or Everly? I used your idea of "Ever" for inspiration.

Everleigh Rain
Everly Saphire
Everly Danae
Everleigh Shae
Everly Breanne
Everly Braelyn
Everly Autumn
Everly November
Everly Santina
Everlei Soleil

One of my fave names is Everlie. It is just so cute.

Also I like these:
Avalie
Rosalie(I want my name to be this)
Karalyn
Averie
Alice or Alicie
Jasper for boy or girl

And I'm absolutely in love with Everlie Autumn. Great combo. Everlie Raine is also cute.
