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.

I met a little girl named Winsome once. She really lived up to her name!

A woman I met named her little baby Hazel-not unusual really, but she called her Hazelnut as she was so tiny. I loved it!

DS has a little friend Sunny
Every time I see them playing together I want to burst into song

....even though the sky was filled with rain
Oh oh Sunny

I once went out with a guy called Destiny
(But ours was not to be together)

Digger and Banjo.

moxon · 09/10/2014 05:23

I can't help suspect that a lot of you share RL nurseries, based on some of these names...

Iflyaway · 09/10/2014 05:43

I know a Sonny.

And in West Africa Fanta is a common girl's name Smile

Etta is lovely

I know a jay-zee although that doesn't make me smile and a breeze which is OKish

Cocktail DS goes to an international school :)

It's "any name goes" there, literally.

BastardGoDarkly · 09/10/2014 07:24

surfs were they traveller children? Remember being in a hostel one and a girl had a digger and ivor, she was a traveller (ex)
