I know a teenage boy - Urban

There have been several popes called Urban. I suppose there must once have been a saint of that name.

Epiphany. She hated it and went by Pip

Jazzy is just short for Jasmine isn’t it? So not that weird.

The Ninja Kids (DS’s favourite YouTube channel) are called something like Braxton, Paxton, Peyton and Ashton. And their non-ninja adopted brother Jason, who is a definite third wheel (normal name, half their age, can’t do any gymnastics).

@KnickerlessParsons It's an anglicised name. The Welsh form, Tudur, is more popular nowadays.

Paxton
Tudor.
Different schools from my childhood.

Paxton was an annoying little sh*t

Tudor was lovely.

Tudor is a Welsh name. Not so common now, but a few of my parents' friends were Tudors.

Melina/Melaena (as in poo with blood in it).

You mean melena, for the poo and it's actually black poo.

Melina is greek in origin and derived from a word meaning honey. It also traveled a but around the continent so you can find/hear it in various countries.
