Desdemona

Often we like names that we know we can shorten into cute nicknames. The name Desdemona hasn't exactly been a popular one. The name Desdemona is most known as the name of the villainous wife of Shakespeare's Othello. 

That said, in current times we love a villain. Would you be put of a name because of past villainous associations?

Desdemona is wearable and can be shortened to Mona, Desi, Demi etc.

Undine

Are you looking for a serious name with great depth? 
What about Undine? 

Undine comes from the Latin word "unda" which means wave, so "Undine" translates to "little wave" which, come on, that's ADORABLE. If you're drawn to water or are having a water sign baby or it feels like they're happily swimming around in utero, perhaps a water inspired name will do the trick. An alternative spelling to this is Ondine. It has a pretty sound, almost French in phonetics. It's so rare to find pretty names that start with the last few letters of the alphabet - how often do you ever meet someone with a name that starts with the letter U? This would be Unique for sure. 

Elsie

Hello there! It's been a hot minute, but we're back here to discuss some unique baby names for the modern name seeker. 

There has been a real movement towards using nicknames as names. Rather than the classic "Elizabeth" we are seeing more babies being named "Betty" or "Libby" rather than the full name. Or "Hattie" instead of "Harriet" so this name Elsie is no different. Elsie is a name with an old fashioned, vintage vibe that still feels classic and wearable. Zooey Deschanel named her daughter Elsie Otter. It sounds like a nice alternative to Elizabeth or Elsa. It's cute and playful and easy to spell. Elsie makes for a sweet, carefree baby name.
