Only stipulation is that they can't be 'made up' names and no creative spellings.

What's the most outlandish/borderline ridiculous name you've heard bestowed on a baby girl?

I overheard a mum booking her baby in at the Dr recently, and her name was Charisma Hmm

No need to roll your eyes. The word Charisma is a Sanskrit/Hindu name and it means 'miracle'.

Clytemnestra, a distant relative of mine.

I love the unusual virtue names, like Precious, Prudence and Comfort.

I also taught a little girl whose given first name was Lady, and her parents wanted us to call her by first and middle name, so 'Lady Katherine' - fortunately she soon became known as Katie!

Patience and Happy were my favourite. I think it's a nice tradition.
