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

Wandering, 'shittle' made me snort my tea!
I know a Chevron, Candida and a Cool Moon. A boy and two girls. Not quite sure which of them I feel for most.

Met a couple with a son called Ayrton (as in Senna) and know a couple of others on this thread but the combination would out me!

Someone running a SW london baby class is called Lambrini...

Boy called Aries

Ah maybe not so unusual then, I've only met one Serena in my time! Its a lovely name

OMG I bet these DCs have children called David, John, Mary or Jane.

Helen, my DH was very keen on thirza. I have actually met someone with it as a first name.

There's an elderly lady I know called Primrose, and I know of another one called Lavender.

SIL knows a Topaz.

Wouldn't like to shorten shittles' name.....

"bye mum I'm off to shits"

I also know a Blade but my fave has to be Nimrod!

A woman in her fifties called "Dallas"
A boy called "Prime"
A teenager called "R J Paul". The R and J didn't stand for anything.
A woman in her forties called "Bubbles" - was her actual name

There's an elderly lady who comes into where I work called Loveday. I think it's great! (And she is lovely)

Princess.

I'm not kidding.

This was when I worked in a private school.

Her family name was extremely unique as well, and was very 'fairy-tale' like, so the poor kid was in for a rough ride.

No doubt she shortened it to Pam or something normal as soon as she was able to.

Keighley? Keighley?

That one takes the cake.

Cheesymonster you never know! Maybe we just grew up in the same area where everyone seems to be related, haha!
(I'm probably pretty recognisable tbh!)

I know a Keely.....

Not keen on the name but not the worst yet

I forgot, I once encountered, while doing admissions, a girl called Friday - the unusual bit was that her middle names were the date and the month of her birth (which I could see on her form). I won't make her any more Google-able, but think 'Friday September Twenty-First Smith'. Only she also had a slightly comic surname.

I've met at least a couple of Lovedays, both from or living in Cornwall, where I gather it's a trad name.

I think the name I've found it hardest to use naturally is 'Skip', an American bellhop I worked with in my teens. Seeing it on his name badge used to crease me up. I had had it filed mentally under 'things minor characters in US films are called, but not in RL'. And a German-American with the surname Langer, which I realise is a perfectly ordinary German surname, but it's also a slang term for penis where I'm from.

All the bizarre ones I know seem to to be females:

Remeny
Janae
Kayrn pron. kay-rin
Retheljie - parents were strict 7th day adventists and the name is a condensed version of 'remember the lord jesus'
Nalini - sisters were Falini and Shalini

Oh and a guy who was fixed our phone called Anal. It was pronounced Ann-Al and I'm guessing that wherever he's from its a perfectly reasonable name, but he really shouldn't live somewhere English-speaking with a name like that!

Desdemona.

There's a little Ayrton at my DS's school. I loved Ayrton Senna and I suspect so did his dad! Bold name choice here in Blighty tho'.

Song (rather like it)
Liguanae (after a town in Jamaica)
Drystan

Kale!

I went to school with a Tarzan and Jane

Dh used to make a particular train journey for work and the (female) 'train manager' was called Alfredtina, according to her name-badge....

Keely is not an unusual name though. Keighly is, unless you're a former mill town in W Yorks, but is pronounced Keith-Lee.

There's a lady who works at the Leeds blood donation called Jackson. As her first name! Unusual as a first, doubly so for a woman I imagine.
