Hit me with S names that are unique but recognizable
I feel set on the way S names work with our last name. My spouse loves Sophia but I don’t want our kid to have such a popular name. I love Selma but he isn’t sold because of the historic connotation, we are white and don’t live in the south. We both like Salma but I feel like people won’t recognize it (only one I’ve heard of is Salma Hayek?).
I like Sima but have heard it is Afghan and I don’t want to appropriate if so. Possibly could be a nickname?
I would love more suggestions! I would go as “out there” as Sparrow, but my spouse would not. We both like two or more syllables.
What I have thought of so far:
Girls: Simone, Sabine, Sanna, Salma, Sima, Sandra
Boys: Seren, Simeon, Salem, Soren
