What are unusual names that have stood out for you in your dc's class?

There is an Alaska which makes me smile every time I hear it and a Francesca and Emma which are nice because they are names that I hardly hear on children.

We have a toddler is ds nursery called Rab!

Are you in Scotland? It's pretty common for Roberts to be Rab, although I don't know any young ones.

I have come across a Diesel, Caesar and a cindarella!

Not my DCs' nursery but my fave name belongs to a friend of my parents - now in his sixties I think: Pudens. From the Latin ("bashful"), though of course the first thing one thinks of is "pudenda". Poor man, I think at least he is of the social class to have been called mainly by his surname. I dread to think of his ordeals at boarding school :o

Pamela and Rosarie.

Penny Black? Confused

I work with a woman with a wonderful name that always makes me smile but I won't reveal it because she's the top hit when you google it. I was at school with a Penny Black. Why, just why?

My DH is holding out for bump to be called Hercules (pronounced as in poirrot)
Having read through this lot, maybe it's not so bad after all ;)

DS had a girl in his class last year called lettuce.
