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!

This one wins.
Although my sil did come across a chikd named Theone, as in 'The One.'

Ptolomy

Or ones that are not unusual as such but definitely unusual for under 15s:

Bernadette
Janice
Lance

Jamie (girl), Vanessa,

Richard

Oh and Bridget

I think the most unusual in my daughter's class is probably Olympia. There's a little boy called DivineGrace too, I think it's a beautiful name but I do think it may cause him problems when he's a bit older.

Boys selective prep / senior school - Tarquin, Ferdi, Rufus, Fergus, Montague and Otto are the ones that have stood out to me (all lovely names but unusual). Most are called Harry/Henry, William, Rupert, Edward, Charles etc. Oliver and Noah seem to be about the most popular names in both year groups (equivalent of yr 7 & 9). Oh and there’s a Julian which made me laugh as that’s a name that seemed old fashioned when I was a child in the 80s! Also in year 7 in particular there’s a bit of a resurgence in 80s names - mark, Daniel, Dominic, Matthew etc.

Poor kid

Cosmo! I stupidly said to his mum “…..sorry, i don’t know his real name!” thinking that Cosmo was a nickname! 🤦🏼‍♀️ As if you’d name your child after a cocktail

We have a
Honey
and a
boy - Odin in my daughters year

Dolly I believe It’s Irish

River. Meadow. Willow. All lovely.
Dewi - pronounced "doh-ee."
The most unusual (what the heck were you on) name, was a girl called "Special" in my daughter's class. Thankfully, she's bright and popular.

Love the name Queenie i have a dog with the name

Moody Spurgeon Macpherson was said to be named after two preachers/evangelists.

But 'Moody' is a pretty unfortunate name by any standards,

Cosmo is of Greek origin and derives from 'kosmos' meaning universe.

I know a couple of Serens. Both have a Welsh connection.

Prince will what?

ummmm...

The Duggars, a large fundie family in America that used to have a TV show have a gazillion Grandchildren now since all their kids now have multiple kids and one of them is called Spurgeon.

There’s a chorister called Spike at our church.

Friends was at its peak 20 years ago. There are lots of 20 something Rachels and I know a few primary age ones too. It’s a classic. I know a baby Maude, a baby Mabel and a baby Ernie, still on the old people revival names in my area!
