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.

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I know a Sonny.

And in West Africa Fanta is a common girl's name Smile

I can't help suspect that a lot of you share RL nurseries, based on some of these names...

Digger and Banjo.

Since my DCs started nursery, we have come across Emmeline, Willoughby, Ophelia, Phoenix, Rocky, Taran, Troy, Wyatt, Tiara, Oceana and Ariana!

I once went out with a guy called Destiny
(But ours was not to be together)

mamadoc · 09/10/2014 00:41

DS has a little friend Sunny
Every time I see them playing together I want to burst into song

....even though the sky was filled with rain
Oh oh Sunny

I met a little girl named Winsome once. She really lived up to her name!

A woman I met named her little baby Hazel-not unusual really, but she called her Hazelnut as she was so tiny. I loved it!

moxon · 09/10/2014 00:14

Aw, little Wibbly

elQuintoConyo · 08/10/2014 23:25

DS' best friend is called Kevin. They're aged 3.

I know three boys named Roc, all under 7yo.

Hope the cough medicine tyxylix has gone before little tixy gets gets much older then.....

Little boy called Odin at nursery, and a little girl Bowie. Both super cute.

Came across a Pinky Dawnbush once which seemed a little suggestive.

WildGeese · 08/10/2014 23:01

spiderlight - my great grandmother was called Gin. I think it was short for Virginia?

MoonlightandRoses · 08/10/2014 23:01

Devora Grin - and was she?

Dimple's the most unusual one I've come across of late.
