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 asked the leader at the group we were at and it was definitely pronounced "malice". They were a pagan family. I'-ve just googled this so its possible?

Or I've found "Malise" which I assume would be pronounced differently normally but it could be that....

Straws and clutching! Poor child...

Capucine isn't that strange in France. The head of DC's halte garderie is called Capucine and she is about 45.

Eymeric isn't so unusual in France, either. And Fabian is actually pretty common.

I didn't think you could register names with numbers in like 3littlebirds. Seems odd. Was it in the uk?

Oh. My. Word

I've heard of some that are a bit odd and haven't heard of elsewhere, like Chavvy-Rose and Mowgli. There are a few that are lovely though and sound very old English.... (all toddlers)

Delphin (nicknamed Delfy)
Quillan
Brock
Brinsley
Coryn
Temperance

I worked with a Karis too.

DS had TWO Reds in his Reception year (two form entry). I bet both sets of parents believed their child would be unique at school!

I also knew a Desdemona as a teenager. Her sister and brother are Claire and John.

I had a childhood friend called Aminta. Not Araminta, Aminta. Never met another.

My cousin ( in her 40s) is called Precious. She goes by her second name which is more common.
My own daughter has an unusual name; Lakshme. The Indian goddess of wealth and good fortune. Her friends call her Lucky

wow - Ive been looking for a memorable name - lots to ponder on now haha

Katia must be an imaginative spelling of the traditional Welsh "Carys" surely? Meaning "beloved " I think.

I know a Beata - Latin for "blessed". She is Scottish, but it may be more common in Latin countries.

Not Katia, Karis ...

My DD went to school with a Geronimo.
Love it

I used to look after siblings called Beauregarde and Esmeralda and one of DH's friends called his daughter Jezebel ( unaware of backstory to that name).

mayaanna you won't believe this one I forgot about

Luveyah.

All.one word. About 7 years old now. Can't believe I.forgot that one. Used to live in same area as me.

Can't believe people think.Roderick is unusual! I went to school with loads of them (in Scotland).

I really like Suvi - its a finnish name

I had a Titian as a patient once - it was her first name and it was pronounced like the painter.

I knew a Santa once! :-o

my nephew and his wife were going to call their baby Nebo if it was a boy! thankfully, she was a girl!!

I went to uni with a girl called alkelda. Her parents apparently found the name off an old gravestone.

I know a few karis ,s.

Also know of a new baby called ezri, which I think is really pretty!

I knew a Galahad, a Dumnac and an Athos once upon a time in RL. Haven't come across any others since.

portraitoftheartist Could it have been Osian? It's a Welsh name pronounced Osh-an. (It has nothing to do with the Ocean!)

I know a 6 month old called Nigel bieber. I kid you not. Bieber being the middle name.

Noooooo. Bieber? How old were the parents?

Bieber is beaver in German.

Oh well, that makes it more normal then!
