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?

Sunray
Skye and
Birdie

Sunshine
Tuesday
Honey-Bee
Harmony

And at the other extreme, Chrysothemis. Which i know is a classical name, but she was the first I'd met.

My cousin's daughter is called Oihana, which is a Basque name meaning forest.

I very nearly called DD Isis in Aug 2012 before it was hijacked by Islamic State.

So so glad I didn't!

I saw an Iecha on a day out the other day - the spelling was on her hat but her mum was calling her Aisha

Aome -ay oooo me - apple of mummy's eye

5 years ago I was all up for calling DD Isis. Fortunately DH is a bit more up on current affairs and put his foot down.

Mollbie · 14/08/2016 15:34

Love the name Isis, such a shame. Can't they alter it slightly, or give her a nickname?

newlabelwriter · 14/08/2016 15:31

Eartha. I love it.

DerelictMyBalls · 14/08/2016 15:28

Some of these are amazing. Fophie! Chasseur!

ItchyFoot · 14/08/2016 13:24

Yeah Isis is lovely it's so unfortunate.

pieceofpurplesky · 14/08/2016 12:46

I also know a beautiful ten year old called Isis. She gets a really tough time from other kids

My son was in hospital years ago (now 21)with croup. All the rooms had a huge window in so the nurses could check in the babies without opening the door. I was walking back to our room and there was a little girl about a year old in one. All dressed in frills and bows. Told her mother (liedBlush) that she looked lovely blah blah what's her name??
Gloria - Victoria no less!!
Gave my best smile and said ah lovely (another lie!)

vixsatis · 14/08/2016 10:20

Rowena, Jacinta and Portia all seem pretty normal to me: unusual but not outlandish

The daftest I have come across for a girl is "beau".

ItchyFoot · 14/08/2016 10:14

Indigo
Ayla
I kind of like Saxon but I'm a Doctor Who fan and it just reminds me of the master.

NauseousKitty · 14/08/2016 09:45

My daughter's name is on here! It's an old lady chic rather than an "Princess Frou-Frou" name, so I didn't think it was that outlandish. Now worrying Hmm

BathshebaDarkstone · 14/08/2016 09:44

I met a Love in the USA. Confused

Anasnake · 14/08/2016 09:40

There was a Pebbles and a Boo at my son's nursery too. A friend of mine taught sisters Astra and Nova - I was hoping they had a Corsa too !

hollyisalovelyname · 14/08/2016 09:39

Clytemnestra.
From Ancient Greek mythology.
I knew somebody who wanted to call her daughter that.
She didn't have a daughter.

MrsGsnow18 · 14/08/2016 09:39

I do believe everyone is free to name their children whatever makes them happy but some of these are setting their children up for a lifetime of mockery Confused

Anasnake · 14/08/2016 09:34

I forgot Taisie-Maisee too !

Anasnake · 14/08/2016 09:32

Relics (I've no idea where that came from), Betty Butterfly and Blaze-Marine.
