I know a Angel (he wasn't always Angel, he changed his name), i know a River but a girl.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 28/07/2011 18:11

I know a couple of Oisíns if you're counting that but none of the others.

reikizen · 28/07/2011 18:11

I know a boy called Eden.

bagelmonkey · 28/07/2011 18:09

I know a girl called Eden and one called Bracken.

Angel is a pretty popular boys' name in Latino communities in the States. I knew a few Angels growing up, and I like the name.

Oisín is not "Ocean spelled differently"! It means "little deer" and is pronounced "Uh-SHEEN".

I can see how it could be misinterpreted as an attempt to spell "Ocean" yooneekly, but it is certainly not that, so any sniggering is grounded firmly in ignorance.

unusual irish names are tricky, aren't they.

Ragwort · 28/07/2011 17:28

Yes, nickel - although the child/family were not Irish. I know I sound mean but no one could remember how to pronounce his name correctly and it got really embarrassing Blush.

Farley-nooooo.....your poor child would be plagued by the book character, Farley of the book entitled Farley farts!!

I tik Lavender is a girls name and Febreeze could, at a pinch, be unisex

nickelbabe · 28/07/2011 17:22

was the ocean spelt oisin?

that's an irish name.

seeker · 28/07/2011 17:21

No. but I know horses, dogs, cats and a rabbit with all of those names except Farley. The Farley I know is a rusk.

Ragwort · 28/07/2011 17:20

No, but I knew an Ocean (spelt differently) and it caused constant sniggering and difficulties in pronounciation from everyone.

coccyx · 28/07/2011 17:19
