Unusual names that are a one off - never heard it before or since

[HoneyandRum]

I met a lovely little boy and his mum in the US, he was about 5 and was called Caspian.

Maybe a Narnia fan?

I knew a woman called Kefi which I think is lovely.

I went to school with a Mistry (girl).

My relative was called Keren-Heppuch (always called Keren). It's one of Job's daughters.

Worked with someone called Edelweiss

I met a child from Australia called Kermit.

My DMum used to be a teacher and had a little girl in her class called Ladybird

Wasn't one of the first ladies ccalled that?

I've met an Angel (ponounced ang-hill) a lettuice - pronounced like the salad leaf, Aifric (wonder if it is the same one).

I worked at an internatinal college and some of the African students had fabulous names; Queen, Lazerous......... damn can't think of any more.

I'm suprised there are not more Winnifreds, I had two relations with the name and a girl at school in the 1980s - although she was always 'Fred'.

Strangely, the Fairy I knew had a brother called Samuel and a sister called Sophie! Fairy was definitely her given name, no middle name either!

Ruby

out2lunch I also know a female Linley.

The most unusual names I've come across are Cosmo, Elvis, Cairo, Roscoe.

I have heard of a little girl called 'Amazing Grace'.

My son went to school with a girl called Ladybird. Never met anyone else with that name?

I worked with a woman called Merry. Another lady I know has a daughter called Strawberry, Strawberry must be in her teens now, she had siblings with normal names.

At my university there is a Rasmus and a Thorsten (pronounced Torsten). I think both are great names!

I have friends with a daughter named Aphra.

Remembered one an old school friend named her DS Boston

DH just reminded me woman who lived in the flat next to ours was called Fenella.

Genovava - may have got the spelling wrong. Madly glam, rather bonkers girl at school. She was vair posh, although not so posh as to avoid a downhill-slide comp in the North. Anyhow fab but ludicrous mediaeval version of Jennifer - apparently

I teach a Saxon! Brother has an interesting name too

So is Guy/Gooey an urban myth? My aunt is a teacher and said she had taught someone called this - can't believe she lied to us!

People with unusual names who I have actually met:

Amazon
Fox
Pheonix
Alberta/Bertie
Pollyanna

I've know several Lovedays but I live in Devon where its more common.

Love love love Lettice and want to call any future dd that but worried it might scar her life.

Minette
Bridie
Noetah
Kendra

Don't remember any boys.

Oh, and a Lamorna (Cornish girl named after a Cornish placename).
Xanthe

More are flooding back to me!

I used to rent a house from a lady with a little boy called Valentine. He was a beautiful blond child who did indeed look like a little cherub.

I knew a girl called "Tuesday" once.

Have come across a Wilkinson (Wilkie), Nickleby (Nick) and also a Dimple (a lawyer, disproving the theory that you can't have a serious career with this kind of name). Have also come across a Ladybird as others have (wonder if it is the same one). Named after the wife of one of the US presidents (although in her case it was a nickname). Spanish relative has a friend who is basically called Immaculate Conception (or rather the Spanish spelling and pronounciation). She goes by Ima. Apparently is not that uncommon a name in Spain.

In my many years of teaching I have come across so many lovely and unusual names including
Heaven
Meadow
Snowdrop
Dayzzeee - actual spelling
Axlrose
Pendragon
Dixie
Pixie
And so many more, maybe I could do an a-z

Oh I went to school with a girl falled Friday Bailey.

Why not Kefir? I like kefir, yoghurt and cheese! :-)
