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!

pretty common influencer type names lol

After reading one comment were a Greek parent has given their children unpronounceable names, I’m done. Why on earth shouldn’t they? My children have Gaelic names. I had this crap at baby groups, in an area which use to be predominantly Gaelic speaking from someone from a different part of the UK. “Oh such a funny name, I can’t say that”
Racist crap.

Think about what you’re posting about other people’s names.

Fox was unusual but that was 12 years ago now and iv heard it alot more since then

Think folks, if they really are unusual names, posting here could be outing! also unkind.

Poor kids.

Elvis!

Cosmos

Wonder how many people have picked an unusual name, to see it repeated on here?!

Dewi mentioned above is Welsh for David.?

Cosmos

Setting their child up to be bullied and teased about his name.

Barcadi

Named after the drink of choice on the night she was conceived

The spelling mistake was only picked up after the birth was registered

Worked in A&E for years, strangest one I ever heard was a little boy called Swayze. Also baby twins called Ethel and Arthur around 10 years ago. I really like the old names that are coming back around but found them really surprising at the time.

Whats wrong with Alan lol ...

There’s a Dorothy at playgroup and a Edmund thinking about it

Someone in dds class is called prince will.

@Cornishbelle

there were twins called Chardonnay and Merlot at my DD’s school (20 years ago) the mum introducing herself and them as they were an in year transfer said that she chose the James because they were classy, you can imagine what was said after she was out of earshot (think mostly affluent village with a dozen housing association houses)

Yes I thought so, or at least I thought it might be Italian and knew it would be a proper name.

People scoffing ought to look to themselves! Thinking Cosmo related to a cocktail really does say more about the onlooker than the namer.

Chardonnay, Coco-lilybelle, Dakota, Rora, Rufus, Kitt

DD goes to school with a lovely boy called Marvellous. They’re all going through that teen stage and I saw him leaving school the other day when I collected DD and he has recently grown very tall and he is very much a handsome young man now and I just thought his name was so perfect for him.

I work in an area with a large West African population. So I’m all unusual named out, to be honest, something like Sweetness, Charity, and Lovely are fairly unremarkable.

Yeah good point. I've been a teacher for 18 years and I only had my first Rachel this year though!

I have a Daphne and last year a Soleil (sun in French) both beautiful and suited them both a lot. Have had a Bear too and a Stanley.

My boys’ names were brave at the time. They are now very unremarkable. We’ve not met anyone with the eldest’s names (he’s 30). DS2 however, while it was really out there at the time, he’s been followed by a gazillion others. They are all 5-10 years younger though.

I read your first line that the name was 'Mercedes 35'! 😄

The cars are named after a lady called Mercedes Jellinek. I have often thought it would be more interesting if they had used her surname instead of her first name - Jellinek-Benz has a certain ring to it, doncha think? 😀
