Recent nutty names I have heard

[CockneySparra]

Sigh-Anne.

I thought the woman was mispronouncing Sian, then saw the name written down. Sigh-Anne. I mean, what on earth...?

the other was a little boy called Ragen. As in Ronald Regan, but Ragen. Ragen? I am not a name snob, but I do draw the line at deliberately misspelling surnames and then using them as a first name!

There is an Elvis at ds' preschool.

Our baby massage class 3.5 years ago had boys called Blixa, Dallas and Sirius.

i live in a very diverse area so not many of these strike me as nutty...

vodafone though?

i only look through these threads to try and spot dd's name but it never shows up, its obviously sooo unique that no ones ever heard of it

My grandmother was called Mona.

Don't forget Shirley Crabtree was a bloke.

i know a few marleys - girls and boys

also a bronte and an ayrton and an ocean-jade

Brakken-Amore.

Godward.

Am amazed at Romeo and Juliet Shakespeare!

What can their parents have been thinking???

Lots of ahem unusual names/spellings at the school I work so nothing much amazes me.

Not unusual names but I do know twins with December birthdays called Mary and Joseph. Ready made nativity stars

There's a Portia in the Merchant of Venice. I don't think there's a Mercedes anywhere! There's a Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet ...

Forgot to say that my DH is a teacher and he used to teach a boy called Ryan Air. Born a few years before Ryan Air existed :(

shock horror my child is called Harison.

How totally crap I am, as a parent and speller 3)

Yorick? Poor kid!! He'll get nicknamed Yourdick!!

My MIL taught a boy called Earthworm a few years ago. I'm not sure if that was his actual registered name though but all his school paperwork was in that name.

"Not unusual names but I do know twins with December birthdays called Mary and Joseph. Ready made nativity stars"

I kid you not, there were twins here from USA, black/mohawk and gay, (famous) called Gregg and Gary Christmas and their mother was called Mary!!

They were lovely too!

Mercedes the brand was named afer a girl named Mercédès Jellinek.

It was (and is) a "real" name, basically. I rather like it.

Porsche is a surname I assume. But then so are many names regularly used as firstnames. If I was hellbent on naming a daughter Porsche I'd stick to Portia I think. But it's not so bad.

I'm looking forward to having twins myself. Boo and Gatty

My Mum taught a boy called Randy Love - he would have been my age.

I had a neighbour called Mercedes. She was known as Mercy.

nevaeh - heaven spelt backwards?

See Mercy for me makes me think of Hollyoaks....and not in a good way!

Waits for sons name to be mentioned. LOL

DD's name has been mentioned but used for a boy. Ho hum.
