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!

At our sons last school there was a Wolfgang, it suited him so much. There was also a little girl called Siren, as in Greek mythology, not a police siren.

Rosario, Antigone, Beulah, Gloria, Meredith, Delores

Jarlath, Cornelius, Ignatius, Aloysuis, Enzo, Geno, Horatio, Jolyon

My son and daughters names are in the above.

Rita-Rose
Onslow
Darwin (secretly love this one!)
Eunice
Kline (Girl)
Toulouse

Fox (boy)
Blue (Blu? Possibly ? girl)

Haha of course, I meant for where I live (currently not Wales although I have lived there in the past). It is lovely.

Wilf

Boy - Cassius

Girl - Pippa

Both nice kids and I like both names.

There's an Orlando. I asked his dad "Shakespeare?" and he frowned and said "no, Bloom."

There's a girl called Tulane, which i think is both unusual and beautiful.

I don't know that many names from ds' 6th form classes, but there is a boy called Aubrey, which is a bit unusual.

I'm a teacher and have loads of students with unusual names. My favourite is Ysandre!

I think the oddest names in my children's school is probably my own children's names. They were born in Ireland and I named them lovely, not uncommon, irish names...then moved to London where people look at us like we have three heads if they have to spell their names.

I'm on countdown to becoming a great auntie to a baby boy and the parents to be are not discussing name choices so it will be an exciting surprise, personally I love Fox but whatever they chose I am sure it will suit him. Only a few weeks to go!

Any baby Sues anywhere? Half the over 80s i know are called Sue, so wondering if that's coming back.

Buzz, Buddy, Ernie, Basil, Lo, Maia, Monty

Echo, Fortescue and Pollyanna........Ye Gods!!!!

Artemis, Jessamy, Artlo (only can imagine its a combination of Arti and Arlo) and Bellatrix (yes from Harry Potter!)

Ophelia
Rawry
Presley
Tiger

The rest are pretty normal excluding different nationalities

I’m amazed how many people have said Tiger.

I haven't heard that expression used since I was a child/around 20 years ago!

When I was a dental nurse two children from different families Velvet and Cole loved both of them. That was 30yrs ago. But neighbour nephew is Jet and it suits him as he runs like a greyhound.

Is anyone doing that? In DGS sclass all the kids are white British And yes there is Harry Oliver and Archie. Not sure I hear anything unusual from the names he talks about. Maybe Beatrice I suppose

Nevaeh, Chardonnay, Tallulah, Bo

Lol my eldest is mairead and people seem to have trouble spelling that

Ricky
Rocky
Chad
Chase
Honey
Wilf
Luna
Alaska

One of my kids has a boy called Eliel. I love it.

I really like all the unusual names - we know a Ziggy, Orlando, Raven and quite a few Remys (boys and girls). Also some lovely Irish names for both sexes, bit tricky to spell but sound lovely. Years ago I also knew someone who had a girl called Pebble.
