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!

Is a hebe not a shrub?

Mind you so are Rose and Ivy. Or similar plant type things.

Ignore me. Am pished.

I saw a name tag on a shelf at nursery....Tiger-Lee!?! dont know if that was a boy or girl!

I did come across a Baccardi (sic) once. Obviously the extra "c" gave it a bit of class

I generally say each to their own but a few i've heard include Fox, Dark and twins called samuel & samantha but my favourite was the teenage mum who wanted to call her daughter clamidyia until someone told her what it was (told to me by my health visitor not sure if it's an urban tale but it made me laugh!)

I know 2 K-C one a girl and one a boy.

Talking of Cbeebies there was a card for a Cookie the other week

Ah, you learn something new every day. Thanks :)

I think Osiris is a great name.

Orion Ajax was a particularly good one, I thought.

A friend told me of a (non-English speaking) woman who had named her daughter Iloveny.

She had seen it on a T-shirt and thought it was really pretty

If I'd had a DD, she'd have been Regan.

I was once in a softplay and there was twins girls there - Dolce and Gabbana....

When signing on in Brixton a few years back there was a Poison, and a Nikee.

Two black lads I went to school with were called Storm and Blaze - they were godlike and carried it well.

Oh you guys, stop being sooo narrow-minded!

crystalglasses I know 3 Hebes too - wonder if we live in the same town?

DS's old nursery had some shockers:

Bobbi-Peace
Trinity
Spirit
Blade
...and my personal favourite, Princess-Diamond

This was way before Jordan and her Princess Tia-cockamamie or whatever the poor kid is called.

Gotta love Hackney!

My friends nieces were called Porche and Mercedes
I also know a Bentley.

There is a Korben at Dd2's nursery... I love it :o
Hebe was on my longlist for DD2. DH saw it and said "HEEB? What sort of name is Heeb?"

My Mum went on holiday to Uganda as a child, and the children living in the house next door were called 'Electricity' and 'Margarine' - seriously!

A classic case of using a name that you like the sound of but have no idea of the meaning!

I knew of a Charisma in my previous job. And a Beyonce.

So far this year I have encountered a Lyric (boy) and a Larch (girl) :)

I know a velvet, a cosima, 2 echos, a neo, a couple of vivis, and a fox, I was only surprised when a new boy started in nursery and was called.................John!

Yellow (boy)

Yellow (boy)

Precious

Mosaic (female)
