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?

The Maharani of jaipur (well known Indian socialite between the wars) was called Gayatri.

I knew a Zhazawanie. Young girl named after a character off Rikki Lake. She would be in her 20s now.

My friend at school had a nephew called Caspian.

We have a Benevolence at college. Although my DS thinks he heard an athlete at the Olympics was named this.

DD has a school friend called Huckleberry (girl)

I had a friend whose son was called Havelock

Kasten

Huckleberry! That's fab, wouldn't use it myself though.

It reminds me of Prissy and Pitty-Pat.

I knew brothers called Tate and gage who must be in their 20's by now and a girl called Phoenix-Dione

Zuwa (Boy)
Sloane (Boy - Pronounced Suh-low-on by French mum and everyone else in France. Most bizarre.)

My son's name is Taliesin - a very old Welsh name that means 'radiant brow'. I love the name and it really suits him but I worry he will have to spend most of his life spelling it out.

I Love the name Tallesin (it's on my list)

I knew a Storm,a Teirney,a Corrine a Reginald...

The only ones I've known

I knew of a medical student about 10 years ago called Destiny. I can't remember whether my friend said he was good looking or not. Hope he didn't go into any branch of medicine that involves telling patients their likely life expectancy...

At least his name will be familiar to Deep Purple fans. One of their albums was "Book of Taliesyn".

I worked with a Newcome. Poor sod.

Dulcibella
RoseJane (all one name with no spaces or hyphens)
Boadicea
Etheldreda
Ninian
Sonnamara
Naia
Hero
Lettice

Oh and I went out with a Heathcliff. He looked the part too.

About 20 years ago I met a woman with a cute toddler whose name was Bliss.

Taliesin is a really lovely name - I hadn't heard of it before.

Just reminded me of some little girls in my DS dancing class about 20 years ago, Raven, Star and Avalon.

Yes CoteDAzur, also fans of Frank Lloyd Wright. And Stephen Lawhead. Still I think they are few. We call him Tali.

I met a zeus once! He was charming too!

NormantheForeman I think i know the same Saxon!!

I know a little Odin.

I have relatives called Redvers and Valentine.

I met a woman called Marine and her cat called Oshan. Turned out to be Welsh for Maureen and Ocean!

I've just remembered that the Ladybird I met has Angel as a middle name.
