[eragon]

everyday names, thomas, emily, charlotte, Isabelle, Eve, Lilly.

but also, Nelson, Arthur, Iris, Stanley.

anyone else overhear some different names while on holiday this summer?

I wouldn't call those different, they are fairly normal baby names at the moment I would say!

The only one I've not heard attached to a child before from your list is Nelson.

Ooh I know a baby Reef (well, he'd be about 2 now). There can't be many about.

Pricilla - I kid you not!

Like coral Reef? I've never heard that before.

I get to see a couple of hundred children's namesake day from my job. My favourite so far is Bear.

The only slightly diggerent names I heard were Marja [p Marya] and Rafaella.The first was Finnish but I'm not sure about the second.

different!

I heard Wolfie which was quite out there I thought but not in a bad way. The mum looked like alot of fun actually good for her get so bored of all the Bens/Toms/Jacks.

We seem to have a fairly high percentage of different names around here. Over the past few months I've met a Hedge, twin girls called Luna and Ocean, Loki, Quatermaine, Reinebeau (I kid you not, that's how they spell it! ) and Tulip.
When I pointed out to DH that I didn't think Apollo was a great name for our impending DC2 because he's likely get picked on for it, his response was "Not around here he wouldn't..."

*he'd

Stanley is the oddest I've heard. I'm all for granny chic but Stanley? Really?

My DS went to nursery with a Reef and he had a brother called Cavern. Worse name I ever heard was Nirvana. I was introduced to a baby Stanley once, I am not a very good actress

Oh and I know an Ocean

I met a Leaf (Lief?) and a Tuesday brother/sister combo.

When I was a young teenager we all used to fancy Lief Garrett

we have a fried with a son Stanley, it is really cute actually (but not one I would choose myself

In baby/toddler groups recently I have met some little ones with what I think are unusual names - Corbin, Anastasia, Frank, Anderson, Jazzlyn, Desmond (x2!), Cecilia, Genevieve, Spencer and ...Wyatt?!

Boudicca.

I love wyatt, my friend little boy is called that.

Stanley is very popular down here (south) same as Frank. I really like it, all these different names.

Have also met recently a Jonas his last name is spelt the same but instead of the A its an E.

I love Stanley!! We could never use it though as we're Accrington Stanley fans.

I heard a mother referring to a 'Soleil' which would probably be a nice name if it wasn't for her screaming it repeatedly in her best Thames Estuary accent! 'SoLAYYYYYYYYY!!! Gid ere right nahhh!'

Loads of baby / preschool Stanleys around here in boring, un-hip rural West Yorkshire.

Stanley is a lovely name. I know of 4 born in the last year round ere! Also in west yorks.

Over heard one new mum proudly telling a cafe owner her baby daughter was called London. The owner chuckled and asked if it was for the same reason the Beckhams named Brooklyn & the young mum giggled and said no, she had never even been there, she just thought it was glamorous!
