I have a VERY unusual name. In fact its so unusual that if I told you and you googled it the only thing that would come up would be my Facebook profile (I tried it......so as I may need to post incognito one day I can't tell you.

Anyway despite not being paricularly thrilled with my name when I was a teenager, I love it now and would love to name forthcoming DC's with something unusual.

What are the most unusual names you have heard of for both sexes???

Zebedee is cool - i'd use that

Dietcokefiend · 17/11/2008 15:56

I'm sort of getting Box, its quite cool, but you can imagine all the square jokes later down the track. Scooter is just...mad.

Have mentioned these names before but kind of really like them although I don't think I'd be brave enough!
(Although my ds does have an unusual name)

Brothers;

Box - boy
Scooter - boy

Both boys are beautiful, shoulder length black hair, sons of a record producer...

I have two relatives called Ahkarsha and Zynitah (both girls).

Also, I've been doing a lot of research into my family tree, and we had several boys called Ozias earlier in the family. It's very unusual now, but I quite like it.
