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!

I teach a Marley.

Also know of a Tiger, a Lord Grace (boy), a Blu, and an Ian.

I know of a 3 yo Tinkerbelle.

You win.

a Keanu who unfortunately has a cleft palate

Gypsy. Her surname was that of the celebrated English nurse.

In our local park last year:

'Gully! Gully! Gully! Stop that!'

Me thinking 'WhyTF would you name your child after a storm drain or small ravine?'

Is diminutive for Gulliver.

Laughing at misspelled UK place names in the USA...

Londyn
Camdin...

Hacknee?
Norpholc?
Kornwall?
Warryngtonne?

Gully!! have met lots of place names eg Kendall, Staveley, Sydney though none of those are too horrific
thankfully no Peckhams or Hounslows

John-Joseph but as in 'get here John-Joseph you little **er' by very scary chavmum

I've heard Larch as well, and I always think of Monty Python too:

And now for something completely different - The Larch!

I have to say I loathe the name Regan. Always makes me think of the exorcist and that poor girl f-ing herself with a cross, her head turning round and green vomit spraying everywhere - I mean, really how could anyone want that association with their child? But maybe it means something completely different to others.....

My favourite was a guy at Uni called Badger. Its not that odd compared to many on here, but genuinely his real name.

Araminta. i know it's an old fashioned name but it still makes me go

Clare. Not because it's nutty in any way...it's lovely. Just that it's such a normal name (and from my childhood) to be on a little girl these days!

I saw one in the local rag - Lucinder surely it should have been Lucinda?

Also heard a wee tot getting called Rooney.

Ive taught a jhonnee (Johnny) and an Elf - at first I though I'd misheard and his name was Alf, but no.

As a teacher the worst named child I have ever taught was Deejay!Why?

I know of a girl called Senna, apparently named after Ayrton, but I have a horrible feeling that as she gets older there will be lots of jokes about laxatives!

i know a little boy called Echo and his brother is Ocean. my dp's sister's daughter is Nymph-aana

Tiffy, Miffy, China Blue and Tabi (all sound like pusscats)
Amaryllis
Far too many baby girls called McKenzie

Starting to rething my future DD's name:
Is Harmony going to be on here in the future?!

Around here, we get some great names....

I know a Velvet, Missy, 2x Harley, Carmen, Angel, Princess and my personal favourite...
Nevaeh. Apparently its "Heaven" backwards....

Justice

Or on Maury a few years back shdiamond!

Lynx. After the aftershave. His brother is called Chicane. No kidding.

As a teacher the worst named child I have ever taught was Deejay!
There was a Deejay at my dd's last school. Mum was very upset when school insisted he had to write Deejay on his work because she wanted him to just use the abbreviation DJ (apparently the registrar insisted that she couldn't have DJ on his birth certificate)

Dh works with a Newby. Apparently itis short for New Baby!!!

my mum used to own a playgroup and had several Neo s
