I've always wanted to give my children unique names, not a name that four or five other children in their class will also have. As FH is Welsh, we have decided to use welsh names for our children. For girls, we like Anwen, Ariene, Seren, Bronwyn, and Rhiannon. For boys, we like Garreth. FH also likes Owyn (welsh Owen), but it is WAY too common here. <br>Since his family is welsh, there are a lot of uncommon names on FH's side, such as Hywel, Bethan, Gerwyn, Angharad, Seren, Eira, and Gwenllian. They're uncommon names here in Canada, but they may not be so uncommon on Wales (though I can't be sure of this). A lot of welsh names are not pronounced how they are spelled. For example, Hywel (FH's father) is pronounced Hue-ull (he gets a lot of mispronunciations with his name, like Hugel, Hymez, etc... lol!). We picked welsh names that are pronounced as they are spelled so our kids wouldn't have a hard time with them but could still have a name with some heritage behind it.<br>Wed, 28 May 2008 10:56:07 GMTEmilieJ87http://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic28488-15-1.aspxMy cousin named his first son Charm and his second son Koi.Wed, 28 May 2008 00:43:33 GMTyammerhttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic28488-15-1.aspxMy DD name is Montana.... not too common. And after FH and I get married we are going to try for another, and if its a girl it will be Carolina and if its a boy it will be Lincoln (so we can call him Link). When I was preggos with Montana if she was a boy her name was going to be Pheonix.

We chose Joelle and Annaliese for our girls. Joelle is a little more common with between 5 and 10 in BC in the last few years (this is out of about 20,000 births per year), but less than 5 in her birth year. Annaliese has less than 5 in BC for the last several years, so very uncommon, but still pretty and feminine. <br><br>Just to note that Lily has become very popular. It has been in the top 20 in BC for the last 2 years. Gabriel is also a fairly common name in BC, probably in the top 50.

I don't use the name, I go by Erica, but I do have a ring with Cuinn on it, and people are always confused by the C.<br><br>Had I been a boy, my name would have been Kain Aidan (or Aiden, can't remember).<br><br>We won't be giving our child a strange name. I'm not personally a big fan of spelling common names in a 'different' way. There was a girl in my class names Sarah, but it was spelled Cera. It lead to TONS of confusion on the part of our teachers (but in this case, I'm not too sure why). We'll name our children names that work in both German and English, so that neither family has to struggle with the pronounciation.<br><br>My cousin named her son Drayden, and it took them a long time to decide on a spelling. They toyed with Drédon, etc... but figured it would pose too many problems in school.<br><br>I actually like a lot of Geilic names, which are spelled very differently from the way they're pronounced, and if we choose one for our child, we won't anglosize the spelling, we'll leave it in its original form.Tue, 02 May 2006 06:01:02 GMTGermanyhttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic28488-15-1.aspx<FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#dd5555 size=3>My girls names are not unusual or anything.. but I chose to spell them differently..</FONT></P><P><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#dd5555 size=3>Catelin and Emalee.. instead of caitlyn or emily and my sons name is Nicolas I left out the H the other 2 have regular names.</FONT>Tue, 02 May 2006 00:44:34 GMTleggebridehttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic28488-15-1.aspxOur ds is named Keaghan - which I didn't think was weird or uncommon - but we have lots of negative feedback on his name so I guess that makes it weird!!!
