There's a lady in the pregnancy thread who suggested Nikau for a boy I think its an awesome name.
Aroha is lovely for a girl

Do they like transliterations? Mikaere - Michael etc. If so, there's a Maori dictionary online that you can get the transliterations for a lot of traditional names.

I'm no help on unusual/unique names though - not my cup of tea at all.

My girls all have Maori middle names...

Te Irirangi Marama - the point where heaven and earth meets
Anahera - angel
Waimarie - peaceful waters
Ngaroma - the deluge/flood

I also like Kahurangi (precious), Te Rangi Ataahua (beautiful sky), Kaia (leader), Rangimarie (beautiful sky)...

Having absolutely no knowledge of Maori names at all this one automatically makes me think this NIWA which then automatically makes me think of NUMA which is from Clive Cusslers books.

If you want unusual Irish names let me know
