is this for the german shepherd? i like the german names asf gave you, and wanted to add liebchen--it's a term of endearment, like a little sweetie-pie. i like gretel or greta, too.
Okay I have no idea what's going on, but my posts keep getting cut off.... Anyways...here we go again!!
Since you said uncommon I will give you some Icelandic names! Icelandic names are very old and all have special meanings, here goes!
Angilja: "Angellya" means sprout Ásdís "owssdeece" fairy who serves the god, god goddess Aska: ashes Brenna: fire Bæn: "Bine" prayer Elska: love Feila: "fay-la" shyness Feimni: "Fame-neh" the shy one Fenja: "Fen-yah" A giant girl Fjalladís: "Fyalladeece" Fairy of the mountains Flekka: spotted horse Flenna: reckless woman Freydís: "Fray-deece" the goddess of fertility Kjamma: "Kyamma" coloured cheeks Mýsla: "meece-la" little mouse Reykja: "Rake-ya" smoke and my personal fave: Edda: the name of a saga, and also a girl's name.
