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!

Have heard of siblings called Otto and Ottoline... not great for the boy and just awful for the girl!

Ariminta (sp?) Peach.

Lockets, the Cash I know isn't short for anything. I quite like it as a nickname!

I'm just remembered a great one - Satin Heaven. WTF?!

And also saw a little girl at storytime at the library called Laud. I've never heard it before but actually I quite like it.

sister and brother, Happy and Sorry respectively. I should imagine Sorry has a bit of a complex!

I read of a boy called Jackie Chan Ninja Soulblade once, in a magazine when readers were asked to write about their child's unusual name.

Wispa, SE London does seem common for strange unusual names doesn't it.

i heard someone calling 'Tresemmé' at the softplay yesterday-maybe she had lost her shampoo though!

Wispabarsareback · 29/03/2009 05:33

Oh yes, I also know of a Destiny and a Triumph.

Thinking about it I've come across all sorts of v strange names - it's par for the course where I live in SE London!

Wispabarsareback · 29/03/2009 05:31

There was a little girl at DD1's nursery called Blessing. She was very sweet - and I guess she'll grow up knowing just how much her parents wanted her!

LargeGlassofRed · 29/03/2009 03:55

Dd2 has a girl called sprite in her class.
