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?

Hepzibah. I know it is biblical but I have met someone with the name. I also knew a Hercules and an Achilles when I was a child.

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.

Could. also be a M A* * S H fan...

We know a Cheyenna, not sure about the spelling though.

Minty is short for Araminta, I always loved this name after Moondial, a kids series when I was about 10.

Off topic, but I was so scared of Moondial, I was about 9 watching it. Would love to re-watch it now.

@Vroomfondleswaistcoat Ah it was the name of a boy I taught a long time ago. I was told at the time it was Japanese for drum, but maybe I was misinformed. Definitely unusual at any rate.

Taiko is Japanese for drum, pronounced almost the same as Tycho!
