I thought I'd make another, follow-on, thread as the first filled up quickly and was so interesting

So, what’s the most unusual name you have ever come across in daily life?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Fionnuala is such a common name in Ireland but you have to watch Derry Girls the chip shop episode to truly appreciate the name.

I used to know a girl called Glumdalclitch.
I always thought that was pretty heavy.

Adolf

I am sure in some areas of the world it might be a perfectly normal name

Perfectly normal in Spain, but Adolfo.

Last of the Mohicans for me too.

He was a villain turned hero created by Marvel comics around 1964. He was one of The Avengers and so may have appeared in some of the Marvel films they have been making over the past couple of decades. I think they made a Marvel action film called Hawkeye too.

Show quote history

As pp said, Hawkeye was also a character in The Last of the Mohicans, which was written in 1826 and so predates the Marvel character by quite a bit!

He's a character in the Avengers franchise.

Or in M.A.S.H, or in The Last of the Mohicans.
