Most unusual names you’ve heard at baby group!

[Nameenthusiast]

Thought this might be fun and may give some people some new ideas! What are the most unusual baby names you have heard recently? Mine are:
Moses
Claude
Nula
Herbie
Huckleberry

Sapphire, poor boy. I know a girl called Sapphire and it sounds like Sophia. That's what most people hear.

At Baby group, I heard Bronte and Saxon, both girls. Also Willow, a boy.

Nuala is a very ordinary name in Irelsnd.
Pronounced Nuulah

Not many unusual ones round my way but I did come across:

Loki
Louella

This is a great idea, I found the names you think of as unusual before dc1 if you’re a bit out of touch with young kids you find out are very common when you start going to groups. Hunter, Bluebell, River, Dusty, China etc are not out there at all in my experience!
Only known of one Sky Blue, Peregrine or Chyna (& not from a non-UK background)

Beau
Herbie
Eden
Billie (girl)
Rowen (girl)

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

Maybe it's Cava and he has a sister called Chardonnay.

I will never get over Pepsi... Pepsi!!!!!!

Valentine (Girl)

I came across a baby Barbara recently that felt very unusual to me knowing only middle aged Barbaras.

And unusual boys names (to me) Sonny-Jim
And Lucky-Boy

Some of these are 😂.
They can't all be real, surely?!

Loki
Berry
Kester
Raymond
Norah-Bella
Murphie (girl)
Valentine

@mossyroundhill Fanta is an old Ethiopian name. Shame it has the drink connotations now!!

I don't know them directly, but I know of a boy named Lancelot- that's something to live up to.

I know a Lancelot. Shortened to Lance.
It's a family name and my friend, married to said Lance was delighted she had girls so she didn't have to use it.

I met a Jett at one group and an Apollo at another. Made a change from the sea of Edie/Evie/Avas.

Buffy is apparently a nickname for Rebecca. I just cant - reminds me too much of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Clayton is very popular here in the states. I've met several. I mean it's not my taste. I kinda like Craig but I've also known boys named that.

Im new here so dont know the weirdest names yet! I love learning what names are popular versus frowned upon in different countries!

A lot of these aren't real. Also how many aren't the kids name but a nickname? My eldest girl was nicknamed Boo as a baby. Now nicknamed Pinky. My other girl is known as Mou/Mouse, as her brother couldn't pronounce her given name, so he called her Mou which lengthened into mouse. So anyone hearing me talk to my girls might assume their proper names are Boo or Pinky and Mou or Mouse, but their proper names are actually nice and normal names .

Nuala is a proper name! Know loads of them.

Zed is probably one of the most unusual.

I've met a Huckleberry, a Cairo, and a male Olive

Went to a baby group with twin boys Saddam and Hussein.

Absolutely normal names alone.

Together I was

My daughter had a Nigel in her clas (she's 13 now)

We have..

Honey
Elodie
Wilbur
Otto
Hudson
Elwood

I went to school with a 'hubble' after the telescope.
