I love the names Raven and Rowan for girls. I wanted to name my son Jordan or Ryan but his father wasn't partial to either name so we named him for his grandfather. All of my children have two middle names which is kinda nice. They are named after relatives and my great grandmother was just thrilled when I named my first born after her. My son is named for his grandfather and both his fathers. less

My daughters all have more common names other than my youngest, Annika.

I wouldn't go with something crazy. Unique is one thing, but don't make it so that it's difficult for people to spell. EVERYONE has always spelled my name wrong because they're used to it being spelled a different way. It's been frustrating, especially while I was in school, and now when I see the doctor. Stormy and I have actually had this conversation before!

I've always loved these names:

Girls:
Emery
Emerson
Madelyn
Evangeline
Imogene

Boys:
Avery
Evan (this was my boy name had my youngest been male)
Emmitt


I've had more practice looking for girl names than boy names, thus my longer list for girls! less

My niece's middle name is Storm. Her first name is Kiana. My brother and his wife both have unusual names, so they decided that their kids should, too! My brother is Skyler Swift and his wife is Teal Mist. They have a son, too, named River Cobalt.

Stormy, is your name actually Storm? I LOVE that name. less

One of my favorite girl names has always been Zoe. Either Zoe Rae or Zoe Jane. It's not too amazing or unique though.

For males, my partner and I have the named Justin Andrew picked out but those are names of friends that have passed away. We haven't thought much about male names past that. less
