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

Squash. Apparently she has six siblings and their names are more unusual than hers. I don't dare ask...

Twins called Amber and Scarlet. Boys called Denby and Bentley

Why is Scarlett mentioned, I thought that was a popular name? Our primary has 3 in one year group alone, more in other years.

Meant to say 'I'm wondering why...' juat realised my post sounded arsey!
Name must be popular only in some areas maybe?

Pebbles - lovely, bright girl. Would be in her 20s by now.

I knew a Godknows once. Such a power name.

Skeff. Made up name and ridiculous.

I came across a Dash last week. In circumstances which reinforced my strong belief that "unique" names are a seriously bad idea.

I once heard a mother calling "Serendipity, come here!" in a shop in Hampstead... That's probably the most unusual name I've heard in real life.

Less out there but still a bit unusual, there was a baby Lysander in a baby group I went to earlier this week - I was wondering whether the parents got the name from Shakespeare or Jilly Cooper. I love that name but DH would never have gone for it.

Jaxon.

Crocus...and I think it's a beautiful name.

Somerset, for a boy.

Also worked with a girl called mystery. It was a mystery how she kept her job too lazy to do any work

I think her sister/friend was called pretty.

"Surprise George". I just assumed his dad's name was George

Met a little girl named Lovely the other day

I've been in childcare for some time, so have encountered a few unusual ones...

Keziah
Xander
Barnaby
Joshkun
Serena
Ocean
Granville
Jengis
Giles

I've also heard through a friend of twin girls named Tia and Maria, though not met them myself- not sure how true it is!

Since when is Serena unusual? I went to school with 3

With reference to the Muff mentioned upthread, there was an old lady called Muff at church when I was a child, but it was some kind of mispronounciation by an infant sibling/nickname that stuck rather than her actual name.

Encountered an Onyx in a shoe shop once.

DS used to go to school with a Goldie-Mae and a Danyul.

I wondered when Serena was unusual. I like it...

Leyland (boy)
Shroom (boy)
T-jay actual name not nn
Ocean (girl)

I've also heard of a Little girl called ocean i see there is a few on the thread maybe not that unusual!
Poccahontas (sp) teamed with a Scottish surname...

I know a lady called Dayspring. Suits her.

My BIL's oldest brother is Berwyn, which I think is very unusual.

Both girls in the same reception class:

Taylor but spelt Tae-Leur, and my personal favourite- Masala.

November. And she had a spring birthday.

Giles? Amber? They're not remotely unusual.
