I have two kids, 1 boy and 1 girl. Whilst pregnant I wanted names that were either unique or uncommon. So my son is called Taige Jamie (pronounced Tage) and my daughter is mckenzie scout. People always love my sons name as it is extrememley rare especially in this country. They always comment on how cool it is, we’ll when they can say it right. Not to mention he shares his birthday with his cousin who is called Paige 😂 My daughter is obviously a bit more common but not so much in this country. We mainly call her Kenzie or kenny. Anyone else got some unique names?

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

Are you looking for an older and unusual name, or a more modern unusual name?

OP, that is such a foolish thing - it's taken me less than 3 minutes and I now know your full name, the full names of your children, what town you live in and can see pictures of your children on the Internet, I know what school at least one of your children goes to.

People post way too much public information on the Internet.

Please be careful what you share, if you have posted about your children elsewhere publicly, it's very easy for the wrong person to find out more about you.

All the poster was asking is if anyone has used and unique names, I don't think it was supposed to be a post to encourage people to give personal information away.

Some people have WAY too much time on their hands!

I have no idea how you would find out who the poster is, why someone would take the time to do that and why a person would care? It's not like this is a sensitive post either..

@OrinocoDugong how do you know what she is posting on other websites?
Maybe you could have just said it a bit nicer instead of assuming she isn't bothered? I wouldn't have known that so why would she.

Most people on mumsnet like to be anonymous. You have posted enough on this thread that anyone can do a quick Google and find out exactly who you are - that probably doesn't bother you too much as you have posted full identifying information on other websites but most people prefer a bit more privacy so probably won't share their unique children's names here to make themselves so easily trackable.
