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).

Stalin
Astral

@EducatingArti I know a Halcyon too! Grew up with a lad named Treasure.

Tiger. Not that crazy but I was surprised to hear it.

A girl in my school was called Wednesday.

A woman called Trilby Beaver

I once worked with an Aphrodite and my dd went to nursery with a Wisdom (fab name), but I'd say neither are unusual per se, just unusual where we live.

Ufuk

I did have to ask how to pronounce it

Probably, when the boy was born I assumed it was after the actor David Niven. He’s in secondary school and the girl is a preschooler

I knew a Kerensa and an Esmerelda. Both beautiful names - I thought they sounded like princesses.

@FfeminyddCymraeg my GDF was born in the Welsh colony in Patagonia.

DH’s aunt who lives in Norway knew a Thor. Apparently his surname was the Norwegian equivalent of Smith.

No you haven't - it's such an outdated urban myth, you need to catch up

I went to school with two brothers called Bracken and Oak so anything is possible 🤣

Because it’s usually said with a ‘look at this stupid name black parents give to their kids’ sneer.

Except they don’t.

A childminder we knew looked after a Pagan and a Sherah.

Did Sherah have a brother called Herman - with the 'r' silent?!

Tjarda (female, pron Charda)
Blu (boy)

(In answer to ‘why’s the L-A myth racist’)

Velvet

November

Quintus (Fifth child)

Gulliver

Cinderella (older lady, went by middle name)

Boys called;

London
Xenon
Wild

On a slightly different note, my friend married a Darren whose sister is called Karen.

Bingo on the second post!!

What is the meaning of the name Ufuk?The name Ufuk is primarily a gender-neutral name of Turkish origin that means Horizon.
Warning: this name would not work well in English-speaking countries, due to its similarity to profanity.

Not Wyborn?

That's a Norse name isn't it?

Oceana. Pele (a girl, named after the footballer). Easterly (girl, sister of Pele!)

I haven't rtft but Elodie is the new Ava. Very popular at the moment.

I looked after an Orchid and a Keva pronounce Cave-a

Enw fy nghath, hefyd 😉
