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

There's a Colin at Baby Sensory. I know plenty of 30+ Colins but it is an unusual choice for a baby.

Zed. A boy. It sort of suits him.

Kuba is a pet name for Jakub, I've known quite a few from Polish families.

Lux (like the shower gel)
Blue

Paisley
Kitty
A little baby girl called Veronica....weird seeing a little one with a name like that lol
Atticus

Isn't it Zebedee? Not Zebadee?

I like Veronica and Martin, actually.

Efrosyni
Sloan

Brân is a royal name in Welsh mythology. My son’s friend’s name - just seems everyday to us.

Heard Sirhowy the other day.

@MyBreadIsEggy I know a khaleesi too, wonder if it's the same one! I don't watch game of thrones so didn't realise that's where it was from until my brother saw her name written down at my daughter's party. She's the loveliest girl so it's grown on me!

I also went to a group with a baby Elvis like a PP. Gorgeous boy - got a lot to live up to!

At our toddler group we have
Storm
Ziggy
Aurelia..all girls X
Boys are
Lucifer ...I seem to love this name actually !!
Hunter
& My own little ds is called castiel 😀
We obviously have the Chloe's Ava toms & Josh's but for a small village I think we've got some unusual names going on XX or maybe we are all trying to outdo each other with the unique type names😂😂😂

Vogue - I don’t know if this is an unusual name or just one I’ve not heard much!
Kenneth

Melodee

I'm gonna call my kid Soda Pop

(Any Outsiders fans in the house?)

I loved the Outsiders! Darry was my favourite though.

Most unusual names I’ve come across-Peaches, Oceana, Buddy, Reef, Promise.

Malcolm.
Alan.
John.
Elily (start like Ella, finish like milly)
Jemima
Delilah
Joan

Some not so much unusual, maybe ahead of the game for granny chic?

I recently met a Gal at baby group, which I suppose is more well known now due to Gal Gadot, but the family is American so to me it’s like calling my daughter Girl...

Also a Malachi.

Effrosyne is a very common Greek name (with quite a few variations in spelling possible too). Often shortened to Effy!

& My own little ds is called castiel Supernatural fan or just a fan of angels? I like Castiel but DH vetoed it

We have a Neale at nursery which isn't unusual per se but it is for a 3 yo

Friends daughter is Raven

I love Aurelia too and Lucifer would be beautiful if you could disconnect it from the demonoc connotations

I know a baby Graeme. Also a Shilah and a Lux.

How’s Effrosyni/Effrosyne probounced? As in eh-FRO-si-nee?

Zuri, can’t think of any other shocking ones

@TalithaWallis iestyn is a welsh name

As is Bran, short for Branwen

That's exactly how it was pronounced Laquila. I'd never heard it before but liked it. Definitely spelt Efrosyni. Her mum had a Greek name too so that's probably the connection.

In my 3 youngest's classes the most unusual have been

Phylicia
Crue
Reef

And not unusual but less common on a 4year old now; Colin.

My 6 year old has an unusual name that often gets misread as Nevaeh. I'm not a fan.

The names that stand out from Playgroups and toddler classes are:

Solar (boy)
Eliott (girl)
Banjo (boy)
