Heard today:-

Spring-rose

At the doctors the other day was deliah-rose. Thought it was a misspell for Delilah but then maybe it's Delia?

And the when I worked in a nursery there was a little boy called deneil. Not too bad you say, till you knew his older brother was called Neil Hmm

It's a book Button..The names your SIL taught are all from the book. Either she taught the kids who also featured in the book or she was teasing you.Smile

LibrariesGaveUsP0wer · 07/11/2015 22:16

Ah. Wrong button.GrinI was answering ButtonLoonGrin See. These names are tricksy.

Once a year I had to email someone in France for work, her name was Fanny Force. I don't know if it's the French convention but she'd sign off with her surname in capitals. Fanny FORCE. Awesome name.

ButtonMoon88 · 07/11/2015 22:38

Ahhh haha Smile

BikeRunSki · 07/11/2015 22:38

French convention is to capitalise your surname, yes.

I know an Angel too, who really isn't. A Neveah who is a delight and a Star who was the most normal, ordinary, nice person but never a star!
I have also known a Leaf, Moon and an Arlo (girl)!

Well, tonight I give you, make some noise Mason Noise, contestant on XFactor! First time I've watched it n years. DC said it must be his stage name, but I've googled it and seems like it's definitely his name.

ButtonLoon · 07/11/2015 22:56

Thanks Libraries, the stories did seem too good to be true. Although why she would tell me that stuff when she was an inner city special needs teacher I don't know.

A small amount of research shows me a lot of pisstakers who claim to have met Lemonjello, Orangejello, Shithead, and Le-a.

Justremember · 07/11/2015 23:01

Misty (woman)
Peaches (woman)
Rain (man)

I worked with a man whose surname was LeFluffy....always made me happy (the name, not the man)

Justremember · 07/11/2015 23:03

My first penpal was a boy called Randy

SoftSheen · 07/11/2015 23:05

I recently met a lady named Lysandra, (I assume) the feminine of Lysander.

Cerseirys · 07/11/2015 23:07

I once saw a man on the news named Randy Bumgardner.

FrancesHaHa · 07/11/2015 23:22

I once met a small boy at a play group called Sparrow. Definately his real name as it was his birthday and we all had to sing to him.

Shockers · 07/11/2015 23:26

We met a girl named Blue on a skiing holiday. It was definitely her real name; she was in ski school with my children.

Shockers · 07/11/2015 23:27

Randy Bumgardner Grin

EElisavetaOfBelsornia · 07/11/2015 23:30

Cakebread - a baby boy. I was Shock

Quona .I think it's Japanese and means 'little darling'

I know a little boy called Gift, it's certainly one of the more unusual ones I've heard. And a little boy called Fraser.
I also know a little girl called Amelie, and a hosannah, both lovely, and slightly different names too.

HaydeeofMonteCristo · 08/11/2015 00:05

I heard Chandelier on the bus once, although it was ages ago.

HaydeeofMonteCristo · 08/11/2015 00:06

I know an Amelie teenmum but I thought that was quite popular now. Also I have known Jaxon, as mentioned up thread.

TiggyD · 08/11/2015 07:58

One Amelie at my nursery and another one starting soon. Could be the 'Emma' of the future.

Lweji · 08/11/2015 08:00

Amelie is already in the top names' list, isn't it?
