Hideously phrased title, hope you get what I mean

So many threads on here are asking for unusual or unique names. Seems to be hard.

So, question: How many children do you know who are the only child you know with their name (ugh, STILL badly phrased, can't get it right!)

For Me:

Girls: Adenike, Aliya, Athene, Callie, Camilla, Camina, Caprice, Celest, Cerys, Chelsea, Christabel, Clea, Fenella, Fionnhuala, Eloise, Heather, Henrietta, Jade, Karenza, Katinka, Kelsey, Kiran, Kiya, Lana, Lara, Lillianna, Maria, Millicent, Mira, Naomi, Nayana, Nyah, Polly, Robyn, Rocio, Rosemary, Sadie, Samai, Samantha, Samya, Savannah, Sorcha, Teresa, Thea, Tolulope, Zia

Boys: Adam, Alejandro, Anton, Arjun, Arnav, Artemis, Barnaby, Caleb, Caven, Craig, Damon, Diego, Evan, Ferdi, Fitch, Frasier, Gennady, Gregory, Hal, Harrison, Hayden, Hector, Jonathan, Keshav, Kristian, Lucas, Morgan, Nelson, Niall, Oluwakorede, Oluwatoni, Orlando, Orson, Paris, Rafi, Ranulph, Rex, Robin, Rory, Rowan, Ruan, Scott, Shea, Simon, Stephen, Tasimba, Tavish, Tawanda, Teo, Terence, Vishal

My son's name is on your list and hated by the whole of mumsnet

welliesandpyjamas · 17/02/2012 20:46

Never met anyone with my name. But I can't tell you what it is because this is The Big Internet. And for all I know I might be the only one on Earth with this name Grin [yeah right]

Petrean · 17/02/2012 20:48

dd1 was one of her kind until the annoying lovely girl down the road copied me used her name.

she is called Anaiah

DaenerysTargaryenButCallMeDany · 17/02/2012 21:01

I'm sure there are more Anaiahs I just didn't know any.

Starshaped · 17/02/2012 21:01

I know a baby Julian and baby Myrtle. I also know an older child called Mani.

DD's name is on your list. It's not particularly unusual or uncommon but I've not met another one in RL.

How bizarre, i just searched my DS2s name - to see if any MNers DSs have the same (as we have never met anyone else with his name).
Found one, who has a DS called the same, her MN name is the same as my business name, and the other name she suggests on that thread is DPs sons' name.

She might be my doppelganger.. Spooooooky Smile
