My mum taught a kid called Ptolemy who had bright ginger hair and thick glasses. School days were tough for him I think.

Fetus. I've known a few

travellover · 24/12/2019 00:47

Binkie Confused proper birth certificate name, he's going to get bullied when he's older. Imagine introducing yourself as that when you're a 25 year old man for a job interview!

Lemoncurd · 24/12/2019 00:47

Proteus (can't remember the middle name but think it was even more unusual).

priceistight · 24/12/2019 00:43

Vincent. Never known anyone else to have it other than a very gorgeous little boy

MillicentMartha · 23/12/2019 23:53

Jimihendrix and his brother Bobdylan.

Gaive, Heathcliff and Nada sib set from the 1970s.

Robeye pronounced like it’s spelt, Rob Eye.

La dash A is an urban myth, though.

BlueEyedFloozy · 23/12/2019 23:53

Disney - her Mum taught her to write it with a Walt Disney "D" too. They have such a common surname it looks and sounds ridiculous.

GeorgiaGirl52 · 23/12/2019 23:53

Female - pronounced Fee-mah-lee
