[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

Girl above me at school was serena im mid 40s her sisters and brother had normal names she kinda floated about like she was something she was a pain in the arse whereas her siblings were ordinary,

Titus
Marshall (quite like that one)

Louvaine is the most unusual name ive come across

Cheesymonster Golly, I Know Lance(lot) Rasberry! It has to be the same one...small world!

ElderlyKoreanLady - well it was my first thought so I guess so. Even Amber-Lynne would have been better! (I didn't meet her mum just her childminder and it was generally shortened to Bo)

She was a sweet little girl so it was unfortunate we always thought of head chopping!

I heard a mother calling for Kaos (chaos) the other day. And also heard of an Usher!

My sister used to babysit for siblings Puffin (girl) and Galen (boy).

I went to school with Mary-Lane, I always thought she must have spent her life explaining it was not a typo.

Wurzel, and then I heard another one the same week!

I know a Queenie & a King (not related).

Fartemis are you my friend?!

Skeff is usually a more user-friendly short form of Skeffington - a surname occasionally used as a first name. I know someone who has it as a middle name because it's a family name - a terribly well-born guy. Come to think of it, he has a brother called Arcturus. Known as Art.

I know a female Biff, but as with one of the Muffs up the thread , it's based on her own childhood mispronunciation of her actual name.

Somerset, for a girl :)

I met a Steele (pronounced as in the metal) today.

Tuesday (because conceived on a....)

Was the Anamoli possibly an Anatoly (which is a Ukrainian name)?.... And the name of one of my DT's

I'm liking this thread as its mot yet become the urban myth thing it usually does when unusual names are mentioned.

Lots of fab names. Love Zeus and Boudicca ! Looked at a headstone of a lady called hephzibah so often when seeking inspiration for the eldest.

The most out there I can share that I know of is the lovely Cheyenne higginbottom that my dad taught in a mining village in the 60s. Too many Saturday afternoon westerns I think !

One of my dds has thirza as a middle name after my fab godmother auntie. You don't get many of them about and yet it's not made up :)

Keefy - her Dad was called Keith do so they made up a femail version.

Infinity
Ziggy
Marvellous Prosper
Godswill

Boo

For a girl. Not short for anything.

I had a patient called Ocean once. She must have been in her 70's.

There was a Pebbles at my primary school. Her brother was called something like Dave or Steve or something else super normal.

I went to primary school with a Crystal Walters. At the time I thought it was the most beautiful name ever...
