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?

[LalyRawr]

Oh and the nurse who looked after my brother was called Memory.

[OhIWishThereWasABook]

I have known a
Glastra
Havannah
Marro
Cavan
Solo
Badger
And siblings called Luna and tide.
Wish I hadn't been so boring when I hear some of these- I came over all sensible when I was pg.

[Badvoc]

Boys in reception called north and gage.
I had a cousin called valentine.
And my paternal GF was called Lancelot!

[Yika]

Little boy at nursery called Jaguar.
Older west Indian lady called Acceptance.
I've only ever met one Loveday, one Mimi and one Vita, one Raphael (girl).
I also knew a Gerardine way back when.
Some of the names on this thread are lovely.

[Lollybrolly]

Sisters Loveday and Lovelace

Also met a Torquil and a Peregine - both rather posh.

[Yika]

Thought of another one - Hereward - would be around 40 now.

[HoneyandRum]

I had a boss called Warwick pronounced like the city.

[BillyBollyDandy]

[DizzyPurple]

Bramble (a boy). Also know cousins called Tinkerbell and Bluebell. I have met a baby called Destiny with a sibling called Desire. Also a Blessing. All babies or school age children. And I went to school with an Autumn. She would be about 40 now (Sshh!)

[jazzcat28]

I work with an Adeola

Used to work with a Renata and Roshal

[BNmum]

I've not met this person but read an article in the paper about an actress called Tuppence which i'd never heard before and i very much doubt i'll hear again. When i was a child my grandma would use this term to describe female parts so i can't imagine why anyone would want to call their child this.

[monsterchild]

[BikeRunSki]

Comfort

[LeChatRouge]

[galwaygirl]

In Scotland the GRO publishes a full list every year of all the names given to newborns. When 2011's list came out last year my ante-natal group were having a nose to see how popular our children's names were and found some crazy names on the list. For boys, this included:

Jesuslovesme
Boo-Tiger
Bruce-Lee
Johnlewis

Jesuslovesme really makes me think we need some laws about acceptable names...

[CelineMcBean]

I used to know a Haig. He'd be approaching 40 now and was a sex pest twat. His brother was called Lee bizarrely.

[CelineMcBean]

JohnLewis

[BinarySolo]

I knew a Hadley with brothers Aaron and Warwick. Apparently all places with castles.

Also knew a Kezia. She hated her name.

[Yika]

lechat no it wasn't - must be more than one then!

[CaptainNancy]

I like the names Hereward and Havelock!

I actually know a Temujin- not a turk either, of White/Irish extraction, though named in honour of Gengis Khan.

I also know a Starskey (girl) and an Ocean-Rivers.

I was at school with girls named Beauty, Lucky, Happy and Joy (none were related to one another).

[Crikeyblimey]

A friend of ours wanted to call his daughter Tempest. Luckily his wife wouldn't let him.

My boss is meeting a woman called Lovelace tomorrow (not meeting in an inappropriate way - an actual meeting). He is really really hoping he doesn't accidentially call her Linda (as he has already referred to her as this by mistake twice already) :)

slopes off having probably just outer herself

[Crikeyblimey]
