Happy to go first with Navy on a little boy. Not sure if they were going with the colour or a nautical theme but it kind of suits him actually. Also a little girl called Nala from the Lion King. My own legal name is a absolute clanger before anyone comes for me with the ‘sneery thread’ accusations 😂

Most unique? It’s either unique or it’s not.

How is most unique not understandable? More unique than all the other unique names someone may have heard…

That would be the best unique name then, it might be understandable but it isn't correct

More unique makes no sense

Amarachi is an Eastern Nigerian name, specifically from the Igbo ethnic group. In Igbo, chi means God and amara means grace, so the name translates to “the grace of God.”

Across Africa, many names reflect the parents’ emotions or the circumstances surrounding a child’s birth. Over the years I’ve come across quite a few unique ones, but two that really stayed with me are Scholastica - an East African Catholic woman (Kenyan, if I remember correctly) and Regret - a woman from Zimbabwe.

Oh dear. Poor Regret, especially coming from a continent where your name reflects the emotions of your parents during their pregnancy/birth 😬

Unique means one of a kind. Any name truly unique has only been used once and therefore no name can be more or less unique.

Sheherazade .
I’ve only met one, an adult. She said she’d hated it as a child but had grown into it. Such a beautiful name.
I also met a little girl called Emerald, and an adult Persephone.

I had a teen fling with a man called Spyro once. I made him show me his driving licence because I didn’t believe him. And he was British!

Oh we all knew what she meant. Why is MN so pedantic about grammar? It’s so dull

This was in 1978, could be the same woman.

Song is absolutely gorgeous

She was a lovely girl, I used to teach postgrad. Very serene in a room full of rugby playing male civil engineers.

Was she married to a documentary producer?
