An old friend in the US has named her baby daughter McCaa. The only reason I know it's a girl is because her middle name is Laura!

Chomondleigh.

Also Eva-Toni-Ann (her father was a football fanatic and quite clearly the mother a pushover)

There is a baby Grace Jones registered with my local GP. Both perfectly lovely, ordinary names, but I don't know what the parents were thinking in putting them together.

Melina - nice Im sure but if you know what melena is (and they are pronounced the same...)

Siobahn - normal name, true but not when the mother insists its pronounced Si-Oh-Ban-E

I went to school with a Sequoia. Her middle name was Evenstar.

In a class full of Deborahs/Claires/Joannes etc she had a hard time.

I once knew a Magnus. Not that strange, except that I was convinced it was Magners, until my DH corrected me, because I thought it was funny to share a name with a brand of cider

ooops

I knew of a Lancelot Turtle at University. He was studying medicine. A truly fabulous Doctor's name.

I worked with a Jo King (her parents didnt think that one through did they?) and a Willy Bully.

There was a boy at my sons nursery called Neo. Seems a bit tame compared to the others really!
