Most recent name to make you "huh?!"

[zingally]

What names have you heard recently to make you stop in your tracks and wonder if the parents are a bit mad?

My most recent favourite is... Flossy, for a girl.
Made worse because my dads pet name for me is Flossy, or Floss. So to hear it as an ACTUAL name just makes me gawp.

Worst boys name - Banjo.

I think Jermajesty is a stroke of jenius.

I kinda like Satchel too though Satchel Farrow goes by his middle name Ronan now. He was named after Leroy 'Satchel' Paige, an African American baseball player who started his legendary career in the Negro Leagues and then continued in integrated baseball.

And of course Zowie Bowie is now Duncan Jones (apologies, haven't read whole thread so someone has probably said this).

Slightly off the point, but a friend of mine went to school with a boy called Delvin Hole....true fact.

The one I feel sorry for is Rolan Bolan (son of Marc). He probably felt that he couldn't change his name out of respect for his late dad.

a friend of a friend of a friend named her daughter Truly and her middle name was scrumptious. I kid u not

were the parents presumptuous?

Not read the whole thread so hope this hasn't been said...

A parent at my DC's school has named her new baby boy Spartacus!

Can you imagine having to introduce yourself as "Hello, i'm Spartacus..."

People just won't be able to resist...

February-Rose is lovely.

In play group a couple of years ago I heard a woman say 'Where is Praise The Lord'?! Enoch is a grandson of Adam so may have been given to children of very religious parents.

Bear. I know a little boy called Bear and another boy with Bear as a middle name.

Banjo Patterson is a famous Australian poet - that's probably where that name came from? If you're not on MN then fanjo really means nothing...

(Granted Andrew is Banjo's real name, i'd take Banjo over Andrew! )

Flossy is short for Florence I think.

Christmas. And not even a December baby!

I was in a shop the other day and there was a tannoy announcement "Aslan to the checkouts please"... Thought I must've misheard so I causally headed over to the checkout to have a look at his name badge and sure enough...
Great name if you can carry it off!

I heard of sisters called Heather & Heaven.

Also siblings Harvey & Harper.

Nothing much wrong with the individual names but as sib-sets...???

Klay anyone?

Aslan to the checkouts please

Once in a while, I actually crack a proper smile.

I know three sisters called Daisy, Lily and Poppy. I just think... no. Are the parent's trying to grow a meadow...? What went through their minds?!

little cherublegs

what do you think about twins called Adam & Eve? ( true story)

just not right.

buskers

was it Kassius Klay?

Worked with a girl called Amber. Not unusual I hear you say, but you'd think mr and mrs Bush would've thought that through a bit more.

I don't get it

I love your list Amazingmumof6 - except for "Hero" - which is an old name, its Greek and even appears in Shakespeare, so in my book its fine. The rest of the trumped up names are all a bit "huh"

Kitty I was at uni with an Amber Bush! maybe it's the same one?!
