Amour Amour, sister Nor Amour
BeaJay - “BJ” (his parents names smushed together into an unfortunate acronym)
L-A “ledasha”, ultimate punctuation fan
KVIIIlyn - “Kaitlyn”, of the Roman numerial variety

Some of my favourite terrible ones I’ve come across!

There was an Achilles in DD1 baby swim class.

We also know a Dempsey, a Forest, and in fact DD1 is only 1/16 children born in 2015 with that name.

Also have friends with the following which aren't unusual as such, but I've only met one.

Braxton

Slade
Penelope
Ace

I'm a teacher so have known many unusually named children. Schmabe has to be the most unusual.

@wellingtonsandwaffles Do you actually know all those? Because I'm pretty sure that L-a is an urban myth.
