I think we need to up the pool of unususl names - some of these threads are a bit samey

[grumpypants]

I'll start - Latte can now be considered a girl's name,

I know of a boy called Leaf, poor kid.
And I have a lovely friend called Cherish which is unusual.
Must add Lino to my list...Thanks GrumpyPants!

call me mad, but Nutmeg does have a lovely ring to it. (not that i would use it of course!)

Following on from Latte, my DS went to nursery with a Capuchine - I couldn't work out if they were honouring the coffee, the monk or the monkey.

I also read a mag article about a mad microbiologist who gave his daughter the middle name of Escherichia.

In my hormonal moments, I considered Coriander and Tarragon.

Capucine is a lovely and popular French name; I like Cherish too. Much nicer than Verity or Prudence or Temperance or other similar 'names'.

FrancesJosephina - or Fanjo for short?

How about Pantene for a girl?

And Linux for a boy?

Actually, Linux is quite cool.

Isn't Lino an Italian name?

yes pronounced Lee-no

I know two boys called REd and Seven.

There must be a few 'Jolies' around.

and Lief is scandanavian, unless its just Leaf?

i know a boy Reno

Reno is the name of a (male) character in Final Fantasy. In fact, pretty much every character in Final Fantasy has an unusual name.

Following your coffee theme:

Mocha (boy) nn Mo

Or Tea:

Assam (boy) nn Ass or Sam

Banter for a girl

Guarantee for a boy (Nick name Ganty, or Gan''y if you don't bother with Ts)

Chlamydia-Jane

A great source of dodgy interesting baby names

dodgy

[forehead slap]

to cavemum. I shall link this thread next time someone requests an unusual baby name. And be genuinely surprised when they reject Mocha or Pantene.
