Since most names are already common, you want to come up with a name that's not heard of everyday. You want to give her a name that has a nice sound and at the same time, has a good meaning.



Here are some tips on how to come up with a unique name for your baby girl.

• Make use of the alphabet

You can come up with a unique name for your baby girl by using names starting with three consecutive letters in the alphabet. For example, you can name her based on letters X, Y and Z and come up with Xandy Ysabelle Zoie or letters D, E and F for Diana Elise Fabienne.

• Seek help from the Goddesses

If you're not a big fan of alphabets, you might want to try names from mythology. There are so many names in the mythology you can choose from. You can choose from Greek and Roman mythology. For the Greek mythology, you can use the name Aphrodite who is known as the goddess of love and beauty; Athena is also a good choice as she is the Greek goddess of wisdom, strategy, and war or you can pick Hera, the goddess of love and marriage. For the Roman mythology, you can use Diana, the goddess of the moon; Fortuna, the goddess of luck and Venus, the goddess of love and beauty.

• Try the other countries

If you still find the suggestions wanting, be bold enough to finds names in other countries. For an Asian appeal, try Sakura, a Japanese name meaning cherry blossoms. Hana is also a Japanese name meaning flowers and blossoms. Hawaii is also a good reference for unique names. Some of the unique names include Alana which means awakening and Noelani which means mist of heavens.

• Name her after an important happening

Of course, it is only logical that you choose the name for your baby based on something positive. For example, you can name your baby after the year she was born. Babies born in 2000 or the millennium can be named Millenia or Milleni. You can also name her after a festival such as Sundance. Be sure that the name you'll be giving is based on something that is festive and happy.

• Name her after a place

Names based on places are becoming popular nowadays. China, Paris and London are used by girls. You can pick a place that you think is significant to you and name it to your baby. Some of the names that you can choose from include Venice, Florence and France.
