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!

It was on my list for middle name for DC3. It was a girl, so. But it is that weird?

Same here.

My 17 year old has 2 friends called Rachel.

I'm liking some of the newer names. Forest, Devon, Phoenix. Angel I find a bit much. Don't know why really, there was one on Home and Away way back in the 90s.

Iain and John are the most unusual in my kids school,a only because they're associated more with my age group than my kids.

Lots of different nationalities at my kids schools. Persian, Turkish, Nigerian, Danish to name a few. Some really beautiful names. Senya and Ngozi are 2 of my favorites.

We had a Persephone and a Seren both of which I liked. Boy wise though fairly usual names tbh.

Boston
Red
Chia
Bloom

Mary
Tiger
Queenie
All girls, white British

Goodness! Queenie is a name that I genuinely never thought would come back.

Electra

Princess - although I must say I love it! Also have a Pegah (Peggie) in the other same age group class

Not all in my son’s class but I know a Kip, a Lyric, a Fox and a River.

Queenie is an English name.

Girl - Viper

Side note, freaking LOVE Queenie

My DD had three - THREE - Ians in her primary school class (she’s 13 now)!

I work in a children’s activity setting for kids 0-11yrs. I’d say I’ve seen almost all of the names mentioned here. The most unusual name now would probably be something like Claire or Mark!

Lark - really suits her!

There are some lovely names on here

I thought Ace was pretty unusual. Also the L-A (Ladasha)

I used to have a budgie called Ace...

And some incredibly pretentious ones!

Wraith
Adonis
Tanner

I wonder how long before it becomes Rocky Road 🙈

Oh I am pleased! What a lovely selection of names! I am out of the school circle at the moment so only know young family names. We have some of the Ethel/Stan/Mildred era, and some more random ones- not any era in particular, actual names, but not in any kind of type if you see what I mean. Maybe Sebastian or Ettienne would be the kind of thing.

I’m glad the slightly hippy names are more mainstream- Tiger, River, Summer.

It sounds as though there’s a much wider range than in the past.
