Give me some outlandish girls names

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?

Evergreen. She was posh.

AudreyBradshaw · 15/08/2016 19:26

I've taught a Chardonnay and a Tiger Lily. And I know a Winter (which was on out list) a Truly and a Blu.

I love slightly out there names. Dh has vetoed most of mine though.

I went to school with a girl called Capri

someonescj · 15/08/2016 15:10

pieceofpurplesky yes that is exactly her (which is fine btw) but theyre usually very in your face about how wonderfully different she is!

jamhot if I had another DD I would use Cherry Blossom as a middle name I love it!

Little girl at dd nursery last year is Luna-Coco Bluebelle surname on her name tag. The mother insists on the whole name being used. I swear the nursery teachers call that child with an eye roll, bless her.

Jooni · 15/08/2016 07:22

I know a little Pippin (g) - love it!

A friend of a friend has a Bouxdicea "Boux", and another has a Waverly.

Crunchy not churchy!

pieceofpurplesky · 14/08/2016 20:09

I think the stereo type of a churchy momma is a vegan, braless, bread making mum who homeschools her little ones in the arts and nature and they wear lots of hand knitted and tie dyed clothes? Is that correct?

Beeziekn33ze · 14/08/2016 20:05

Elderly lady I though was Jane was in fact Fane.
I taught a lovely Cheyenne Tequila, there was a Cinnamon too.
Apache is another great little girl, and Tillacy's mum wanted to combine Tracy and Tilly, so she did!

AgentJ · 14/08/2016 19:03

Saying that Blueberry I know of a child who's name is just 'Truley' which made even my husband gasp Grin

SirVixofVixHall · 14/08/2016 19:01

Antigone, Portia, Jacinta etc, none of those are odd to me- they are classic names surely? Fophie on the other hand...

What is a crunchy mama?
I quite like sorrel too Blush

Blueberry234 · 14/08/2016 18:44

I know of a Jenny truly scrumptious surname

maggiethemagpie · 14/08/2016 18:41

I quite like 'epiphany'. Would bestow a lot of expectation on someone though!

neonrainbow · 14/08/2016 18:40

I like zelda

jamhot · 14/08/2016 18:19

DS is likely to be an only child, but if we'd had a girl, our favourite name was Cherry Blossom.

I was reading some of the names on this list out to DH, and he pointed out that Cherry Blossom would probably be on the list if she had existed.

jaykay34 · 14/08/2016 18:18

I also know a "Charisma" with none.

Other out-there names:
Lucky
Chardonnay (know a few born around 2003 and named after the "Footballer's Wives character)
Tequilla (spelt incorrectly)

someonescj · 14/08/2016 18:18

I know a Peony, Pearl and Pixie (sisters, lovely girls and parents)
Zelda (after the legend of Zelda)
And a a Boudah (pronounced Bow-Da, mum would describe herself as a "crunchy mama")

Anasnake · 14/08/2016 18:04

Teenage DS tells me there's a Chardonnay and a Rioja at his school, though not related !!

AgentJ · 14/08/2016 18:02

My DD (she's 2) went to preschool with a little girl called Apple. Fucking ridiculous parents.

Also known a Charisma - she had none.

Know of a Jupiter and think it's the most ridiculous 'name' for a child I've ever heard. Some people are twats though.

HainaultViaNewburyPark · 14/08/2016 17:58

Oh, almost forgot - Yosca (another 00s one).

HainaultViaNewburyPark · 14/08/2016 17:55

From my school days (so born in the 70s):
Bluebell
Oriel
Nonie
Candy
Melody
Anouska

From the DC's school/Nursery days (so born in the 00s):
Harmony
Kitty Hope (not really out there as such, but always makes me think of a cat sanctuary)
Ixia
Honey
Velvet
Autumn
Masha

DrWhooves · 14/08/2016 17:45

Echo

guiltynetter · 14/08/2016 17:45

oh no, the le-a police are about to descend on the thread!

I don't know many outlandish girls names, I met a cora-lynn the other day though.
