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!

2 of my sons 14 years apart have both had a child named Fox in there class a boy and a girl

Ken

Lysander
Cassian
Caspian
Ptolemy
Aeris

Rocco is a totally normal Italian name.
As an English teacher, I feel for all the kids called Eric, Gerald, Sheila, Arthur, Romeo, Julie etc

Also Laurie, Ramona, Ottilie & I do know someone who changed their name by deed poll to Larch (they’re an ecologist)

I wanted to call my son Juan (the Manx pronunciation) but he was born and raised in the south of England, so I was vetoed!

(It’s sort of JOO-un / JOO-an in case anyone’s wondering.)

There was a Disco in my kid’s class

My first born was called Cillian, in 2005 there were only 10 babies named Cillian in England and Wales.
When he went to primary school, there were 11 other boys in his class, one of whom was called "Cillian"!
So, no matter how rare or unusual you think it is....

Doris
Ocean (boy)
Storm (girl)
Tiger (boy)
GoodAnswer (boy)
Joy (boy)
Not all same class but over the years

Linkin

Parents being rock fans presumably?

The first three sound perfectly normal to me and I live in a small E.Mids market town. And Larch makes me think of Monty Python!

And the actor who plays her (cant remember her name) has aged so well. No surgery, just naturally ageing and still beautiful. Watch the new series!

I am dying to watch the new series but not sure how to get it here. Is it on disney+?

Yes! They are releasing 2 eps at a time, hopefully a week apart! Next two are due on Thursday if I am right. I got a bit "sweaty eyed" in parts...... fair warning!

Right I need to restart my subscription to disney+.

Also to keep on topic my dd1 has a louise and molly in her class

I have a friend and her sister is very alternative. The 'kids' are now in their 30s I have slightly changed the names because they are so out there, but kept to the spirit so to speak. One is Finbar Wrnklebottom Da Vinchi surname. The other one is Sqirrel, someother literal random word then surname. Neither talk to her now and live a very long way away. Not all down to the name but.....
The type of bottom is worse than wrinkle!

I work with a Devon!

I know someone with a Rocco. No Italian heritage from either parent whatsoever. Their siblings are Halo and Hendrix Jimmy. I thought the original Hendrix spells his name Jimi.

Good answer? Now that's not unusual, it's stupid and unfair to the child and I'm surprised the registrar allowed it.

Grayson
Isobel Pearl - friend's baby
Kimberley - 7 yrs old I haven't heard that name since the 1980s!

I don’t see any of the things you’ve mentioned on this thread. Not everything’s a criticism and if they were mentioned, they’d be an observation. What’s wrong with that?

I work with a Flynn 😄

There's a Damaris in my little cousin's class.

Of course.
