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!

That's getting really common. It's Heaven spelt backwards 🙄

Hunter
Harrow
Lincoln
Rain
Blossom
Geoffrey
Phoenix

Oh boy

We had two - one boy and one girl!

DN’s birthday party recently had Cosmo, Raven, Skye-lark (yes spelled like the island and pronounced like the bird!) and Reginald (who is not to be called Reggie or Reg!!).

Actually youve just reminded me the maddest names I’ve heard are four children with one Greek parent, all of whom have long unpronounceable names I’ve never heard before.

I know a Rodney under the age of 7.

Also Mona-Lisa (2 of these unbelievably!)

Huxley

Rugby

My great-niece (7) has a Patricia in her class, as well as Quinn (girl).

I remember a China Blue.

Quinn
Julia
Ginevra

Siblings called Lenny and Ray (Leonard and Raymond)
Another Lenny

Loads of baby Paul's (not in the UK)

DD's school has a Queenie, Dax, Jorja, Dolores, Paul, Patience, and (my favourite...) Comfort.

Storm and Larch. Both nice names.

Both of my dc are mixed race. The ones with strange, questionable names I know of are white British.

I'm a supply teacher and Nevaeh seems to be more and more popular where we live. A child in my extended family is a Nevaeh too

Atlas.

Ocean is such a daft name.

Why? I admit to a degree of bias as it occurs a few times in my family tree (mostly pre 1900) but I think it's similar to River, Blossom, Lark etc which seem popular enough names. We know multiple Rowans and I met an Aspen at work. Both of which I also like.

Well she asked parents not teachers. But a teachers saying "I teach a Derek and a Volvk" isn't outing unless you're confident you're the only one who ever called their kids that. And even if it is outing, as long as they're not being rude, why would you care?

Funny-I find Princess a bit of a tragediegh but love Queenie!

My DD is now thirty but through primary and into secondary school she was in school with "Liam Gallagher", "Katie Tunstall", "Jack Black" and Geronimo. These were all genuine names.

People naming their kids after gods need to chill the fuck out

I used to a cover supervisor and a few that come to mind are
Renesme - after the baby in twilight
Daenarys- game of thrones
Dexter- named after the serial killer
Tiger lilly

Oh you have just brought back the most wonderful memories of my lovely grandma ❤️

ETA my DS has what would be considered a very standard/common name and he is the only one in his class.

We have a "Cherry" i love it.

There was a Wren in baby group with my eldest which I thought was sweet but had never come across before.

The most unusual in DD1's class is a Margaret. It was my grandmother's name, she passed away about a year before DD was born, and I did consider it for her but DH and I thought it was too old fashioned. I would never have thought she might not be the only one in her class if we had used the name!
