I'm open to both, it just depends on the name and the meaning behind it really

two months ago and I would have said definitely traditional BUT now I have decided I want a slightly more unique name for our little girl because she is special. there's no accounting for hormones is there?

I like traditional names, I wouldn't want something that is spelt to unusually as I think our LOs would have enough problems with their surname (simple surname but unusual spelling) x

I agree...but I also think made up names can have a lot of meaning behind them. Take my son's name, it's not traditional and you won't find it on baby name sites. But there is a lot of meaning for my husband and I behind it.


I dont think calling your baby Sparrow or Mango..or whatever just to be different is cool though.

I like traditional names but I would like to come up with something more unique this time. Just not too unusual. If that makes sense.
