Most unusual names you’ve heard?

This is light hearted and not intended to make fun. Just wondering what the most unusual or out there names you’ve heard lately?

I know a Hunnie, a Bleubell (spelled like this) and a Honey Blossom, what about you?

Candida 😬

Happy (Not British, although thankfully a very happy individual!)

Also know a pair of siblings (both under 10yrs) who are Chinese, one has a very traditional Chinese name, the other a dated western name. Think along the lines of Xiang-Chen and Nigel. Nigels name is his legal name on his birth certificate, not an adopted western name.

I went to school with a boy whose initials were B.O. Once is unfortunate, but he had two brothers who were also B.O. Brett, Ben and Brendon if I remember rightly.

Maybe - I'm not joking. That was her name.

There's a girl called Maeby on arrested development. Weirdly grew on me!

I wonder if we live in the same area @ScruffMuffin. I know an Ayrton around that age!

Who knows?!

I'm fantasising about having six little girls called Tiger Lily, Bluebell, Honey Blossom, Sunflower, Sweet Pea and Twinkle now. 😍

I knew a Napoleon as a kid. I recently thought of him and googled the name and found he is an actor who, while not famous, has appeared on some TV shows I have heard of.

Speaking of Senna... I know of an Ayrton. He's probably 16 or 17 now.

My friend has a senna. Strange choice.

I really like Senna when I was expecting DC1 but with hindsight it would have been assumed it was Sienna.

DH once knew a Sunflower.

Do they pronounce is Bleubell as well?

Honey Blossom is lovely.

TeenLifeMum · 16/08/2024 22:04

Twins - Favourite and Fortunate (not from English culture - boy was favourite and girl was fortunate).

I love the name Fox (xfiles fan). We didn’t have a boy and I’m fairly sure dh would have said no… we do have a Kitty though.
