Unpopular names?

[zumm]

Well, it's all in the spin. Tomat-o is to tom-ayto as unpopular is to unusual. Anyone managed to name a child something that isn't in the top 150? If so, share? Everyone seems to be William or Alex around here.

I still remember my Grandad's comment when I was expecting my DS, it really made me laugh..
"The more creative the name, the more creative the beating!"

Someone I know called their DS 'Spike' and their surname is 'Power' I have to say that I think this is THE coolest name ever and he is destined to be a great rock or film star!

I remember about 30 years ago hearing of a baby being name McLean Kilby and I remember thinking the same about him!

But you can still name your dd Gloria without everyone else following you, can't you? If you love it, why not?

I have a Marielle, which I love.

ShireHorses I also love the name Gloria, but DH not so keen...

I am outing myself here, and I haven't read the whole thread so apologies if they have been mentioned already, but I have an Isaac (born 2009, pretty popular, I think) and a Zelda, born this year, pretty unusual, I think. I hope!

nickinoonah I know a little boy called Spike I wonder if it's the same one. There really can't be more than one can there?!!
