Ive also met a Blue and an Ember.

Im a teacher in a multi-ethnic school and haven't battered an eyelid at names in a decade. misspellings of normal names, however...

I also know Obvious Lee and Serious Lee... surely there can't be two?? They must be the same ones 😂

@wellingtonsandwaffles Do you actually know all those? Because I'm pretty sure that L-a is an urban myth.

I'm a teacher so have known many unusually named children. Schmabe has to be the most unusual.

There was an Achilles in DD1 baby swim class.

We also know a Dempsey, a Forest, and in fact DD1 is only 1/16 children born in 2015 with that name.

I know a Lalage but she pronounces it La La Jay

Amour Amour, sister Nor Amour
BeaJay - “BJ” (his parents names smushed together into an unfortunate acronym)
L-A “ledasha”, ultimate punctuation fan
KVIIIlyn - “Kaitlyn”, of the Roman numerial variety

Some of my favourite terrible ones I’ve come across!
