names in your dc's nursery/class that make you smile...

[burgatroyd]

What are unusual names that have stood out for you in your dc's class?

There is an Alaska which makes me smile every time I hear it and a Francesca and Emma which are nice because they are names that I hardly hear on children.

We have a Princess, makes me smile every time.

DS goes to nursery with a little boy named Balthazar. They call him by his full name as well which seems so strange when you see the tiny, fair haired, blue eyed boy that answers.

I think it's an awesome name though.

There was an Ocean in my daughter's school, not to my taste, but nice imagery.

I also know a Mitzy-Fae. She is like a heroine from 19c children's literature, I like it.

My DD goes to a playgroup with a little biy called Grayson, which whilst I think is a lovely name, it is somewhat marred by the fact that his surname is Gray.

Why!?

Grayson Gray?

Any name that makes a refreshing change from the Avas/Evies/Sophies/Alfies and Jacks makes me smile! Love some of the names on here, especially Florentine and Winston.

Yep!

We have a Sunshine!

Sparkle

Sparkle?!

There's a Billy-Roy (very sweet, shy boy) a Lyric (also a boy, which surprised me as had wrongly assumed Lyric would be a girl) also Winter

There is a Ptolemy in dgs1's class.

"Hi, I'm here for my bigass corporate multimillion Pound job interview."
"And you are?"
"Sparkle. Sparkle Grayson."
"Sorry, we don't appoint My Little Ponies in senior positions."

We know a 3 year old called Susan. I think it's really pretty and simple, it's nice that it's being used again. I like Susie as a nickname too.

Everyone in DS's nursery has nice but not unusual names.

There's a girl called Mary is ds's reception year, she is so tiny and I always call her little Mary (in my head ) she makes me smile.

I haven't noticed any others

We've got a Matteo. He is very cute, it suits him. Plus all the kids seem to love saying it, which is quite sweet.

Aw, Matteo is a great name!

Job!

Matteo sounds cool,how is it pronounced?
In my head I say Matt-ay-O
Or is it Matt-ee-O
Or none of the above lol

Boo

Moxon

fcuk Ma-tay-o. Flemish-y version of Matthew, although I think it is Iberian-ish too.

There's a gorgeous wee boy called Bram at our nursery

Oooh, I love the name Bram. And Matteo!

My niece has a little boy in her class called Banjo.

I like Susan. I like all of the names of the children in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Susan, Lucy, Peter and Edmund.
