Most unusual name you've come across.....

[erikbloodaxe]

Just that really.

I'll start.......

Camwy. - it's a river in Patagonia. Really suited him though (Welsh ..... extremely Welsh man in his 50's).

Twyla

Lettuce, Lettie for short

I know a hero a star and a blaze and a saint

Lincoln Ulysses

😳hope his mum/ wife/ daughter not on in

I loved the name- a name to be very proud of. Suited him

One of my DC was at nursery with a little Osiris

Today I heard someone calling for her DD Tiala, and I rather like that

Lots of the names mentioned are not unusual but foreign. Cultural names - go on holiday and meet some people! Xochitl, Valeria, Santiago, Asia, Esmeralda, Melina, Aphrodite, Atalanta and Manon are Mexican, Spanish, Greek and French.

E.g. if I go to the Netherlands and Belgium I'm likely to meet people called Kees, Noortje, Johan, Hilde and Kato - unusual here, but not there.

Gold-dust

Atalanta is a huntress and heroine from the Greek myths, she was a mortal, but closely associated with the goddess Artemis

I once met a Dutchman called Kite - no idea if it's a common Dutch name or not, but he pronounced it like the English word, not with two syllables as you'd expect with Dutch; unless he just did that when in English-speaking countries, for the benefit of monoglots.

I knew a Phaedra, and an Emerald. Both lovely names

Balthazar

I know a 3 year old called Binky.

Crispin - the surname that went with this made it too funny but I can't say the full name as outing for them

@JazzyBBG please tell me his surname was Walkers

My cousin named her daughter Etain.

Inkerman. After the battle!

Drusilla. Only ever heard it once.
Tilbury ( a little girl).

My nans name was Queenie. I've never met anyone else with that name.

thats my sons name! & Nate is his middle name 😊 been told its "unusual like not one of your common names but its nice to be different" tbh haven't recieved that bad of a reaction so far like i was expecting, most people do genuinally like his name! x

I met a young Drusilla too. Isn't there also an attraction somewhere called Drusilla's Zoo?

I once knew a young lad called (what sounded like) Fuzzy - I only heard it, so it may well not have been spelled that way.

Oh I also know a kid called Flash. Full official name.

Lettice, surely??

@FatherJackHackettsUnderpantsHamper Kite isn't a normal Dutch name at all! I'm failing to think of names that sound the same but are spelled differently. 'Vlieger' would be a direct translation of kite, but even that would be a very odd hippie name. At a stretch, it may be derived from the surname 'de Vlieger', which isn't that unusual. Bet his real first name was something boring but difficult for English speakers, like Gert-Jan

I once met a woman named Neòinean which is scottish Gaelic for Daisy.
I also know a Tiger, Topaz and Panda.

Karma

There are two kids named after Star Wars characters in DS' class

Prosper.
