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!

Oh poor Dorcus 😕 (hope he's not a Dork

Spelled Dorcas, it's a girl's name.

Rocco

I think maybe African people?

My next door neighbour's name is Dorcas. She's 30.

My son has an Axl, Blaize, Hudson, Santi, Dotty, Avery, Margot and a Nannie in his class

My Daughters name is Hela- doomed to never find her name on a mug or pencil case 🤣 there maybe another on at secondary school. Currently not a primary she’s the only one.

I’d never heard of Lark as a name, until I read an article about predicted 2026 names and it was one of the names listed (can’t remember the others, but that stood out).

My nephew’s name is Ari

My daughter played football against a boy called Cartel at the weekend... first time I've heard a kid called Cartel!!!

My nephew has a Zodiac and Star in his class, both girls

Wonder of her middle name is Josephine-ready made theme tune if it is.

My twins are called Llama and Alpaca. My husband is called Knobrot and my brother's twins are called Boll and Lock.

None of us are British-English born, but when I was thinking about the name, suddenly just popped into my mind and I knew that will be it (I knew 2 really nice guys with that name). So now we have Ian. It's actually and old Scottish name, meaning 'Lord is gracious.' Though I didn't know about the meaning before.

Ardacious, Sonny, Elodie, Lupin

I love Deborah, never met a bad one! I knew a young Shirleyann too.

I know a Wolf. Short for Wolfgang.

Princess Koko.

DS (KS2) has a Genevieve in his class
DD (reception) has Asa and Atlas

I hear wolf quite a lot now but when dd was younger about 7 years ago we were in the hospital and there was a boy called wolf and I was surprised because I’d never heard it before. I know a Dora, meadow, river, blossom, Dallas

Adonis

We have a Ulysses and a Derek locally.

Heath

Not at school, but we met a boy called Ezekiel at a baby group - Zeke for short. I like it.

I know a baby Julia!

@FloofBunny
i know 2 Juliet’s both under 3! Think it’s lovely!

Surely no one with Japanese heritage would call their child Tokyo!

Brits don't tend to be called London and Americans aren't often called Washington or New York now are they?!
