I’m waiting for a MNer to overhear DD and I out and about, and post that they met a baby named Sausage.

Apifany, spelt just like that

Lots of these names are from other cultures or countries, though, so whilst they may be “unusual” here, they’re real names and common elsewhere.

Bodhi and Rocco (amongst others) have cropped up quite a few times on this thread... no really so unusual then!

There was an 'Air' at a baby bounce I went to where you sing a song to introduce your baby.

I am interested to know how it was spelt and if it's a cultural name, perhaps Irish or a European name I'd never heard of

Not at a playgroup but at a salon i worked in years ago. A mum was in with her 2 boys, 1 who was called Tarquin. She mustnt have liked him very much.

Dalton
Valentine
Magenta

I know a Saxon, flint & river.
Flint is the girls name.

Oh and a girl I went to school with named her daughter Cinderella. Genuinely on her birth cert too.

Tag-Kai

Seeing Magenta written down reminds me of my cousin’s boyfriend’s flat mate at uni. His dad told him to paint the flat and just to do the entire place in magenta. He was telling my cousin, who thought it was quite a bold move and said ‘magenta? The whole flat in magenta?’ The lad said that was definitely what he said. Then the penny dropped and my cousin said ‘are you sure he didn’t say magnolia?’ 😂

Twins Fortune and Favour

Toddler Rodney at the local theme park today.

Not sure how it's written but there's a little boy called Carver in our swim group!

Some of these are priceless!
In Australia Clayton I know a few Clayton's.
I also know a Nuala.
A child ( boy ) was called Sapphire.
Another mum I know called her child "Hawaii Skye nixie" ( siblings include Tydal- storm
My BIL just called their little boy Bruce.
I know a boy called Gordon ( honestly the sweetest little thing ever!)
I also know a child called Legend. No joke.
