what is the most unusual name you have heard irl?

[spritefairy]

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

Sherpa - girl
Zane - boy

Io (eye-oh) for a boy.

I met a girl called Peggitty once. Never heard it again since.

Io is unusual for a boy, Shen as a princess in Greek mythology.

29red. Peggotty was a character in Nicholas nickleby.

Unique (girl)
Princess (girl)
Jehane (girl)
Zadkiel (boy)
Octavius (boy)
Ignatius (boy)

My niece is Cassiopeia but it just gets shortened to Cassie which is fairly normal.

The craziest name I ever came across belonged to a lovely Thai lady who worked in the hotel we stayed at in Bangkok. Her name badge read 'Kornikunt'

I've met

Rainbow (man)
Solo
Queen
Papa
Puck (why?)
Marrow
And Maverick (again, why?)

There was a boy a my secondary school (a few years below me) called Jedi Starbuck - which I loved as a combination.

Yes, I love the story of Io! Have never heard it other than in the Metamorphoses.

I know someone called Happy.

Apparently Mason Noise's real name is actually Mason Burnell

My DP has some rather unfortunate names in his family tree, a Fanny Fowler and a Thirza Topliss

Clara my cat is called Starbuck, so I appreciate the sci fi nerdiness, but she's a cat, not a child.

Randy is a relatively popular name in the US (often short for Randall). I knew a female Randy married to a male Woody.

There was a metereologist on our local news station called Mike Wankum.

Oh that's just reminded me, on the credits for once upon a time there's a Brian wankum. I think he's the producer or something.

Jehane is a very old variant of Jane.

I remember that the writer Jon Godden was actually christened Winsome, and was dreadfully teased at her school.

Quite liking Bohemia.

Thor
Raspberry
Pirate

Some of these are awesome!

Not... gasp... Pirate...

A friend of a friend named her two boys Aristotle and Daedalus.

Digby

Love Digby - think the president of the CBI was Digby Jones.

My weirdest are Atticus, Boudicca, Destiny and Charnce (with an R).

Atticus is back, back, back. (Though maybe less so after GSAW)
