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.

Anakin.

Nixie
Boudicca
Paloma
Wolfie

I love them all

Sonny is not unusual here. I know 2 one is 7 and one is 10. It makes me think of Paul Robeson singing 'Sonny-boy'.

Honey

I used to know of a Coco Mademoiselle

DS's nursery class all seem fairly normal in their names. He is probably the most out there, but not really.

My all time favorites are
Zidane (first name)
Oscar (first name) Peterson (last name)
Persephone and Cosmo (siblings)

I know of a Bunny. Surname is Butt. I kid you not.... And she was originally called Grace but mum changed the name to Bunny by deed poll.... Poor kid

Came across a boy at camp called 'Lord Glory' - I think it's pretty normal in some African communities to have such direct names. I love the idea.
Most out there was 'Moose' - this in a smallish Irish town definitely stood out He's a very quiet and tbh weedy looking teen, he hasn't grown into the name yet.

There's an Enzo at nursery with DD. I guess it's more common in Italy than Yorkshire.

Dean and Lionel - you don't hear those names every day.

Oooh, just came across a Harlequin. Hell of a name to live up to but kind of perky, I guess.

I know a Justin Hale! Hes a full on grown adult - is your dd? It might be the one I know!

There's a Wolfie in my DD's nursery class. This delights me.

Im not too sure, he is an ex colleague. He does however have a twin brother whose name starts with an S if that helps?

Yep this one is south west too Ill PM you.

Just inhale, and relax - RL just crept back into MN...

Dennis Jimenez. Always makes me chuckle!

DS's nursery has three Nails (Arabic), a Beyoncé and an Archangel.

Love this thread so many beautiful names. In my area of UK everybody has gone with more usual choices. But I will say that when I lived in France I knew a Jason ('Dze-zaahn') and a Ryan ('Rray-yen') which made me smile as they are such unusual names in France and the families didn't to have any obvious connections to English speaking countries.

We have Matteo too. And Cesare, which I like and made me smile first time.

Winter. Hetty. Gwendolen.

Frank. Jarvis. Felix.
