What's the most unusual baby name you love?

[WithACherryOnTop]

I love Ozymandias nn Ozzy for a boy.

Anakin too.I am a SW geek though.

Horatio.

And for a girl,Pepper.

I doubt that I'd ever use any of them.They're my guilty pleasure names.

What are yours?

Decca or Pier for a girl. Kit for a boy.

Never going to happen...

Oooh yes mrsbugsywugsy had completely forgot about Eddard! Love that too. I actually quite like the name Joffrey but the character is so vile it really puts me off!

My friend's DD is called Hebe (to rhyme with Phoebe), I think its lovely! :)

Clemency. I just love it- and I can't persuade anyone to use it!

Plus everyone would think Joffrey was Jeffrey which isn't so great (apologies to any Jeffreys out there)

There was a baby Boycie in hospital with my twins... Just gave me the urge to keep saying 'Marleeeen!'

My younger son is called Ciar (the "proper" spelling of Keir :))
we've not come across any others but they are out there somewhere.

Did someon say Grayling?

It's one of my dd's many nicknames- she's actually Grace.

....also love Struan

I am currently reading Gyles Brandreth's Westminster diaries. His children are called Benet, Saethryd and Aphra (they are in their 20s & 30s now I think). He says his wife picked them though...

Alex James has Geronimo, Artemis & Galileo (twins), Beatrix, & Sable

Boris Johnson has Lara Lettice, Milo Arthur, Cassia Peaches & Theodore Apollo

I never dared use anything at all unusual

Friends allowed their first daughter to name her new baby sister. She's called Bear. I love it!

A friend of mine was named by his sister who was 4. His middle name is Danger. How cool is that!

Isis or Hope for a girl. I love Isis. I also quite like Lolita (oh dear). Clemency that someone mentioned above is beautiful too.

I really like Novello for a girl, it's really pretty but DH thinks that the child would always be asked if they liked Ivor Novello. What do you think?

Saul. I love it. My first DH wouldnt hear of it for either of our two children and he was an Irish catholic so as it's a biblical name I never understood why. My 2nd and still current DH hated it when I first mentioned it to him because he thought it would be heard as Sol (Campbell the footballer) as it sounds very similar. But we only met in our forties both had grown up kids already so it didnt matter. But I actually did get pregnant at 46 which was a surprise caused by carelessness to both of us but it wasnt meant to be and I had a late miscarriage and they told me it was a boy .
I suppose l was never meant to have my little Saul - except in my dreams where he is alive and well and running around playing with my two children who are for some strange reason still toddlers though they are in their thirties now .

Oh and also it has a lovely meaning i.e. 'asked for' or 'prayed for' which I think is a gorgeous meaning for a baby's name even though my Saul would have been quite by accident.

I cant understand why one letter different from a very popular name Paul can be almost unheard of. So if any of you lovely ladies have a little boy in the future and call him Saul please can I be an honorary auntie in cyberspace or something

Somersaults - I love Posy too :) So much that I think I might name a future dd that :)

I really like Sholto and Wilf for Boys

And Hebe for a Girl....

Misha for a boy - it is the russian shortening for Michael. I know there are lots of girls called Mischa or Mica but LOVE it for a boy

Scarlett for a girl (had two DSs so never stood a chance with that)

Dmitri for a boy - didn't even bother mentioning that to DH, I knew what he would say!

Came accross an Iceland name 'Haukur', niknamed 'Hawk'. How cool!!

Airi
Aria
Blythe
Mara
Lena(not the unusual) nn. Lenny

Boys
Ramsey
Torren
Icabod
Cyrus

I LOVE Hebe, Dauphin! But DH said no We are calling DD2 my other fave name though Seren, and I have loved it for years, even before lots of little Serens started appearing That said we have never met one!

Celestina, for a girl.

No way DH'd go for it though
