Wonderfully Unusual Names!

[SillyBillyBandy]

Just seen a thread about awful names and thought it would be nice to celebrate difference!

What unusual names have you heard that you've liked?

I have

Diamond - 101 year old lady who was friend of my grandmother

Saturn - cutest little girl ever

Gaia - never heard it before

I like Fitzwilliam for a boy, never met one.

I love Capability and I think being named after England's greatest gardener is pretty cool.

And September. I don't really understand why some months are acceptable names and others aren't...

My husband has vetoed them both. Git.

Most recently, Halo and Joy are two that spring to mind, also Perla, which is Italian I think.

I worked with a ‘Flower’many years ago. Suited her down to the ground, such a sweet person.

Recently met a baby Vada and know a Leif - he's in his thirties now.

My son is called Krishna which I absolutely love. He is Indian though and it's a common Indian name.

I know a Smiley. She’s in her 80s. A family name if I remember correctly.

Ooh, ooh, just remembered a Napoleon.

Meriel,
Sabina,
Damaris,
Annice,
Ivo,
Kester.

I was wondering if DD's name would be mentioned- it has!

Ah - and mine!

An elderly lady whose first two names were Primrose Snowflake

I went to college with a Ptolemy known as Tol - love the name.
His brother was Caesar - not heard either name anywhere else.

I know a delightful Tuppence

Haha

I knew a bloke named Christmas, and at school we had an Icelandic girl named Halla. First day registration our form mistress pronounced it phonetically (as you would) for the whole class to say in chorus "it's pronounced Hatla, Miss'!" So that's the first Icelandic word I learned

@ReggaetonLente haha so he's mine and my sons.

@Picklypickles I knew a Kerryn at school. She was one of three Joneses in my form - I think she definitely got the best name. The other two had pretty ordinary names (one English, one Welsh)!

I met a little girl called November once. Adorable name.

In my recent family tree I have...

Everard
Willoughby
Victory (born VE Day)
Erasmus
Sabina
Laban
Orlando
Brittain
Peaches
Harrington

Willoughby! The Wolves of Willoughby Chase, that was a great book
