So we’ve just had the most common birthday week in New Zealand. All those New Years Eve babies ;-)

For those of you who may be due with your beautiful babies sometime soon, I thought it would be a perfect time to share all of my favourite baby names! Or, if you're not expecting, maybe just add one or two options to your "future-just-in-case" list!

I’m a "Rebecca Jane" – a typical plain-Jane name. When I was going through high school there was about 4 other girls in my same year with the same name! So I took a liking to unusual but not too wild names. I wanted a name for our son that would be unique like him, but that wouldn't make it look like his parents were away in La La Land when they named him. 

Here I’ve compiled a list of unusual but not super crazy names that I like. I’ve included one for each letter of the alphabet to cover all options. Let me know your thoughts of any that you love also, or any that you may loathe?
