Just that really. I met a girl named Betsy Blue and I’ll never forget that! Felt like a name from a book.

Any boys’ names that stood out to you?

There's an American family I follow on SM. That have sextuplets ( I think) a mix of boys and girls the names are..
Layke Bryars - B
Blu Wellington - B
Tag Bricker - B

River McCall - G
Rayne McCoy
Rawlings McClaine

They also have another 3 boys.. Twins Wales and Saylor and an older brother Bridge.
The seem a lovely family, really lovely. But I just can't get my head around the 'oddness' of the names. Each to their own I guess.

I know of a little boy named Ransom too! Ransom Frost. Didn't like it at all at first but it grew on me as time passed!

Stopping to buy some mangoes on a small Caribbean island a little toddler ran out into the road followed by the mother shouting his name.........Aristotle. I wonder if he is now a professor of philosophy?

Another I have come across is Atilla. Seemed a nice child. Just hope he didn't turn out to be like his predecessor.

I know someone who has a Maverick and a Stetson. In fairness they are from Colerado.

The coolest boy I ever knew (he was ds's older buddy when he started kindergarten) was called Zeno.
