Looking over these names, I find myself really drawn to the name MIRELLA. It’s a unique baby name and very sweet. It has good nickname potential and has a great meaning. It’s a French name that means “to admire.” Is it just me or do you see the potential in Mirella, too?

 

Hands down, I would say that the most unusual name on either list is SIXTEN. I don’t remember ever hearing of someone with that name before. Do you know a Sixten?

 

What’s your favorite opera name? Which name do you think is most unusual? Post your thoughts!
