@LittleBeex Gruff isn't uncommon in Wales - shirt for Gruffydd, pronounced 'Griff'- know quite a few!

Zeus. He's awesome.

Emilienne is surely just a misspelling of Emmeline...

Asking posters to be careful as these threads often end up accidentally racist by calling perfectly expected names in other countries and cultures odd/weird

Snow White is the most unusual I've heard I think

Burgundy
My daughter’s close friend is called Storm. I know it’s not that unusual but not met one before.
Foy is another- girl at my old school

La-a and Female are both racist, classist urban myths.
