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!

A friend of mine in the States went to with a girl whose name is pronounced A Shoal eh. Unfortunately it was spelled Asshole.

An old friend of mine had a daughter called Jedzeea and a son called Dax. They were big Star Trek fans.

My son is called Rufus. Old-fashioned but relavtivly normal I think/ hope!

A boy called Bede

There was a news article on babies names rejected by registras and both "Fatso" and "Darth Vader" made an appearance.

Strange names aren't so bad its the joke combinations that really get kids bullied.

Henrietta Ramsbottom
Ray Pugh
Chris Carrol
Rob Sitcher

I have come across
Storm Temptation
Sussudio Kerrian
Malachi Saxon
Dakota Blaize........they were siblings

I teach twins in year 10 called Romeo (he pronounces it Ro-MEY-Oh) and Juliet.

Their surname is Shakespeare

know a fab threesome called tarquinn (sic) mischa and ruudy!!!!!!!

(all boys in case you're wondering)

Little girl whose name was pronouced - fi - mal -ay. Spelt female!

Jethro

I knew a girl called Henrietta, not too bad until you realise her surname is Mann....

My godmother was called Gobnait (gub-net).

Beat that. She changed it to Sarah when she grew up.

oh I forgot - "Pinkie".

Loveday..although, it's quite pretty i think...(for girl that is!)

I worked with an elderly lady called Loveday lololizzy, I thought it was a one off.

Went to school with a girl called Star who had a brother called Orion.

My dads cousin is called Everard.

I always fancied having one of those US pioneering names, like Deliverance or Temperance. I suggested Temperance if we had a DD and DH collapsed with laughter as we are both enthusiastic drinkers.

Loveday is a traditional cornish name

Loveday sounds very beautiful to me.

I was informed of a 2 year old called Keelo the other day, the child sports a diamond earring and has been named after his dads love of his job apparently.

My in laws neighbours have an Indiana storm. I know an Eben which i'm not so sure about.

When i worked in Australia a lot of the aboriginal babies had amazing names some just random words, lots of Irish names such as Patrick and an Elvis.

Ooh! I LOVE Loveday!

Met a little boy named Pushkin a few years ago. In a bookstore, no less! Stuck with me as a really poncey name. Poor kid.

Oh, yes, and out Vet's assistant is named Storm.

Pushkin was my brother's very fluffy rescue cat!!

magicmelons you've reminded me of my fave..when i stayed at a hotel in Hong Kong and one of the staff members was Elvis Wong

I was at school with twin girls whose dad ran the local car showroom called Porche and Mercadies (sorry bad spelling!)

But apparently both from Shakespear?

I know a Cinderella, a Jamiroquai and a Keegan.
