sorry if it's your family, but: september, atlanta, tiger lily, gypsy and brother duran.

[Nemoandthefishes]

lovely and ermmm unique

[LyraSilvertongue]

Quite like Gypsy.

[LardyMardyDaisyBoo]

obviously they weren't aware that duran duran was the villain in barbarella who tortured people on a sex machine

[NaughtyNigel]

Those are my DCs. hope you're not taking the piss?

[nancy75]

maybe they found them on a how to avoid a common name thread!

[southeastastra]

it's so cheesy, poor children, especially Duran, they are all asprising ice dancers from a rich part of town.

[southeastastra]

gawd i killed that, but i think they had lots of money and no sense of style

[PerkinWarbeck]

gorgeous .
there is a Jamiroquai in DD's room at nursery.

[oliviaelanasmum]

I quite liked Tiger as my dc's surname is Lilley, just as well we didnt as one of our neighbours is called Tigga

[hana]

are they all siblings?

[LyraSilvertongue]

Perkinwarbeck, tell me you're joking about Jamiroquai.

[PerkinWarbeck]

Lyra, you know how cosmopolitan we are in Camberwell. Fraid that one's genuine.

[moljam]

i know a tiger lilly.suits her .but she is mostly known as lilly

[ChipButty]

My DS was at nursery with Ocean and Chardonnay (I kid you not!)

[LyraSilvertongue]

We've got a Ulysses at our nursery, so I guess I shouldn't be that surprised.
Jamiroquai though...

[dizzydixies]

I can beat you all, council estate outside paisley had a Pochahontas
or however you spell]it [grin[

[dizzydixies]

that should have been

[NorthernLurker]

I don't mind Gypsy - I wouldn't use it but it doesn't make me want to run away screaming. I knew a Chardonnay too - wonder if it's the same one.....

[ProfessorGrammaticus]

Was Ocean in the Manchester area? Or are there two?

[threestars]

I used to work in a hospital, and I remember an Armani and a Lexus being born on the same day. Thought delivery suite had turned into a posh shopping centre.
Also one boy was named Anakin, after Darth Vader.

[bookwormmum]

We have lots of unsual names where I work since the nature of the job tends to attract people on working or ancestral visas. One girl is called Immaculate!!

Docia is another common name at work which I think it's quite pretty. I think it's often used as a surname though.

[youknowyouknow]

was that Pocahontas McKenzie? Called out in a doctors surgery near me...

[MAMAZON]

Tony from East17's daughter is called Atlanta, she must be about 15 now so its hardly new.

i Actually like all those names bar Duran.
i don't think i would use them myself but i don't think they are that awful

[bookwormmum]

I knew a girl called June who was born in... June. She hated her name since she thought her parents had demonstrated little imagination in choosing a name!! maybe September was after their birth month?

[MAMAZON]

i know a June born in July.

she was due in june and her parents decided on her name, she ended up being overdue but her prents had already decided on the name so gave it her anyway.
