In Reply to: Help?! Exotic Baby Names.... posted by zeedart on Thursday, 30. June 2005 at 14:28 Bali Time:
have unusual names too. We also wanted something different for our kids and we hit paydirt when looking at Maori and Polynesian names. They have the most BEAUTIFUL names and I am sure that you will find something that appeals to you. Our second daughter has a name that we have only ever heard once before.
We had to be careful about the "tease" potential for their names when they get to school age. How it could be abbreviated, their initials etc as kids can be very cruel. But I am pleased to say that even though all my kids have quite "different" names, they are surviving their school years fine!
Head to the library and look for NZ/Maori names or Polynesian names. It was the source of our inspiration.
Good luck with everything!
