Most unusual names in your children’s school class

[Nightsatthelitten]

What’s the most unusual name a child in your kids class at school has had?
Almost every other child I know is called Harry, Theo, Leo, Olivia….would love to hear some unusual examples of names!

I know of a Wolf, Arrow and Rocket. All boys primary age.

Ziggy. He's a lovely kid, and really suits him.

Reef and Alan.

In my son’s class there seem to be a few examples of place, country or nationality names - such as France or Dutch - which sounds unusual to me.

Quite a few old fashioned names that I didn’t realise were part of the grandad/ grandma name craze - even things like Brian. My DD had a Beryl in her class.

Still quite a lot of Harrys, Ethans etc though

Very few of my child’s classmates have two British parents, so there are all sorts of unusual names.

No Harry, Leo, Theo or Olivia!

A few Turkish names, Italian names, a Nigerian name, a Norwegian name etc etc

Shall we just start taking the piss out of non English names now? These threads always descend into casual racism with a nice touch of classism. It does show how thick a lot of posters are, when they claim Hebrew names are made up. Or don't understand why the Black African-Americans rejected George, Charlotte etc and created their own versions.

I deffo appreciate the broader thinking, we don’t need more Henrys tbh!

Why? Are you looking for a name, for your newborn?

we have a ‘Devon’

I know children Summer, Autumn, River and Forest! (Not all in the same class)
Also Diane, Eric, Victor and Elizabeth

We are pretty ordinary and middle class here. We have a Bella and a Jacob and a David and Julia and an Edith. Maybe the most interesting is a Romeo?

Not from school, but one of my dc knows a Bracken from a club, which I love.

Lapin, Magenta and Dorcus

My ds is probably the most unusual..
He has a Wilf, Connie and a Beatrix in his class.

Ocean
Adonis
Atticus
Rocky-Rose

Tony and Neil

ETA they are 5 years old!

We have Artemis, Zion and Coco - like all of them.

The one that stood out to me was Rachel
You don't often hear that on under 35s!

I went to school with a girl called Mercedes 35 years ago (she was Spanish and it's not an unusual name in Spain, but it was in the west of Scotland in the 1990s!).

Thor, Star, Wolf are all in my daughters year. And Gary - not an unusual name, but not one you hear much at primary age

Precious ( not a cultural name) Basil Herbie Stanley ( girl) Veronica

Ocean and Wilf

Not school, but in the next road is a little girl called Parker.

I considered that for my DD not quite 35 years ago. We aren’t Spanish. Didn’t quite have the nerve in the end. Glad she wasn’t a boy though because we were set on Alexander and there were four in her small rural reception class.

I know of a…

Shirley
Caillou
Kaitlind
LeKeisha
AAliyah (2 capital A are deliberate)

It’s my DD’s middle name (under 35).
