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?

[BikeRunSki]

D'oh! When I said Suet I meant Summer ..... grr.... autotext and babies .....

Suet would be a very unusual name.

[Thornintherose]

A baby named Hannibal - the Mum was quite eager to tell me it was the Father's, Grandfather's and Great Grandfather's name also.

[Littlefish]

I knew a Talon and an Anakin.

[BinarySolo]

I worked with a Gayatri. Not sure if I've spelt that right (as proven by my previous post, spelling's not one of my strong points )

It was pronounced guy-a-tree

[JuliaScurr]

don'tmind I know a Genesta

[Namely]

I knew an Irish, really suited her. Also a Tor, I loved that name.

[squeaver]

I've met a little girl called Ladybird.

And two brothers called Zoom and Jet.

[BinarySolo]

I like Jett, but jet as a sibling to zoom? Well I guess it good to have a theme...

[YourDaughterHasaTattoo]

My aunt is called Erena, should be Elena after her dad's German family, but as my grandad couldn't speak much English when he registered her birth she got stuck with Erena. Always thought it was lovely

[GoldPlatedNineDoors]

Someone I know has just had a Payton - never even knew that was a name, or a word for anything. Didnt know if boy or girl.

And with our accent people could say it like Painting.

[GoldPlatedNineDoors]

Oh and I.know a grown up Ember which I love.

[PenelopePisstop]

I heard a woman in Morrisons shouting her child 'Sherman'.

[CheerfulYank]

I know lots of girl and boy Paytons and Peytons, Gold. :)

It's big in America.

[emsyj]

Tor is just an alternative to Vicky as a shortening of Victoria - I know two.

Do you think it is acceptable to use the name Ladybird...? I'm really liking it...

[wigglybeezer]

The only Sherman I have ever met was a very large pedigree pig!

[tazzle22]

I heard a man calling to his son a few weeks ago .... he was called Magic. Never heard this as a name before.

[LalyRawr]

My name is made up.

Alyiousa (Aly-wish-a).

Am current the only known person in the world with that name. Am trying to change that though, am suggesting it to everyone who is pregnant!

[HoneyDragon]

Lemon.

Never met another.

[SilentMammoth]

That sounds like a variant of Aloysia.

[LalyRawr]

My daughter that was stillborn was called Lemon. I craved them ridiculously while I was pregnant with her and couldn't think of a more fitting name for her when she was born.

[WandaDoff]

I went to school with an Omega.

[HoneyDragon]

[Thinkingof4]

I went to school with a Tamela.
Also knew a Tanith and a Clayton

Beloved is my favourite name I have only heard once. She was a chemist.
