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!

My niece's friends in her class:

Hunter
Wilfred
Agustus

Nevaeh
Ruby-Lea
Iris
Betty

Ayerton

Came across a Beau (boy) recently.

My toddler isn't in school yet, but in terms of other toddlers I know the most unusual are probably Ocean (on a girl) and Wolfgang (not a German family, but my partner who is German finds it funny as to her that's an old man name!)

Some of these names are new to me. I think my DS’s class must have just about the least number of outlier names imaginable. I think much of that is due a lack of ethnic diversity. One child has one English and one Eastern European parent but that’s about as diverse as we get.

Lyric-Rogue is the most ‘unusual‘ name I’ve heard.

Who's rattled your cage?

Senna?

not many here… maybe Meadow or Lilac? For boys probably Walker and Job.

Athena
Japhet
Bhodi
Merlin
Tanith
Ivo

I've remembered two more:

Brom (boy)
Clementine

There are two Brians in one class at my daughter's school. The last thing you would expect in naming your baby Brian in around 2020 was that they would be known as 'Brian S' and 'Brian C' at school.

Ocean is such a daft name.

Django

That could be mistaken for "Rocky Roads" 😉

Ptolemy.

Remy, raelynn and ira would be the most unusual names in the baby group i attend

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

Queenie, Queenie, who's got the ball....

I went to school with a Merlin, not super weird but it was very funny because him and a boy called Arthur hated one another and actually got into a scrap.

Kids class - Arrow, Breeze, Meadow-Lily… there’s a boy called Whistle that DS is friends with but that’s not his government name that’s just what people call him for some reason. Also met a baby at baby group called Barry, not unusual but it was odd seeing a baby called Barry it’s normally an old geezer at the pub.

Lucky they didn't holiday in Benidorm....

I am an ex primary school teacher. I am also judgy as hell BUT don't judge children on their names.

I do want to add, however, that I taught a Jayden every year for 5 years. One was the stereotype - but was also hilarious, kind and very bright. The other 3 (I taught one 2 years in a row) were just lovely, lovely children who made my job a joy.

EDIT - I know Jayden is not unusual, but I wanted to point out why judging names is a mug's game. And, even if the OP didn't intend it to be, this is a massively judgemental post.

A boy named Wonderful. He wasn’t.

I’m stunned it took so long for someone to point out Wraith. Insane name.

It’s Heaven spelt backwards

If I put the unusual names down, a few of which are already on here, I’d be totally outed.
