What the most unique baby name you ever heard/saw?

[MarilynMerlot]

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 😂

Well she swore it was true but maybe she was having me on.

I guess the story must have originated from
somewhere!

An unbelievably brilliant and pioneering oncologist I know has a son called Cosmo. Never heard it before and never heard it since, I thought it was cool 😎

This week I met a newborn called Jolene.

I know a Calamity and a Bunnie-Blue

Quora, pronounced Cora.
Also God's Power from Nigeria

Does Bunnie-Blue have a sister called Lolly Phillips?

I know a couple who made up names for their 3 kids. I won't list them all as very identifying, but one son is called Jeliah. That is the most "normal" name. All 3 kids go by normal-sounding nicknames semi-related to their names.

Brothers called Dignity and Gift

I've taught a Misty, Narissa, Rusty, Bluebell, Clover, Meadow, Blessing, Patience, Marvelous ... all of them fabulous names that suit the kids so well.
Not unique but different from Isla, Olivia and Isobel!

Zarach as a male Christian name, I've only heard it before as a surname.

I was at school with a Candida, who would be 66yo now. She was generally known as Candy, but some teachers used her full name. In retrospect, you'd have thought they would have known better!

I was at university with a girl named Frisbee.

my child’s primary class has a the most crazy array of girls names. I can’t mention them here but to give you a flavour it’s like, Millicent, Sephira, Jalula, Apples, Evanderine, Chickaline, Maloolia, Drapanoby, ebonyla, rubellia, castanettes … those aren’t the names but they aren’t far off 🤣 I actually love the boldness of it and how they all ended up in the same class I will never know. When I was at school everyone was either called Sarah or Jenny.

There was a Spike in my DS's primary school class.

I never understood how she looked at her tiny new baby and thought Spike - I think it's a Jack Russell's name

There was a school girl in the local paper about 10 years ago called Amazing Grace.

Boy in my swim class, called Maverick!!

Not as far as I’m aware

Notorious 🙈

It wasn't Thisbe was it? Shakesperian name?

I know some more unusual names
Ksenia
Ngaire
Araminta
Kezia
Bunny
Roland

Currently a top 50 name in the USA, apparently!!

Didn't Dolly Parton meet a little girl called Jolene and liked it so much she used it in the song.

Hmm
not sure about the names determining personality. I once had to dismiss a man called Innocent for stealing from clients. And my niece Grace is one of the most clumsy (but still Charming ) people I’ve ever met.
