Most unusual name you’ve ever heard?

[ikeakia]

Just wondering what unusual ‘only met one’ names people had come across in their lives?

Sunny Ray
Zebedee
Dante
Wilberforce
Onyx

I think they're all great names.

giggly

Same here!! I genuinely thought it was a nickname though.

A friend of mine had a daughter who was at school with Harley and Suzuki (both girls) they would be in their 30s now.
A girl I worked with had a daughter called Tinkerbell... Tinkie for short...

I only ever met one:

Apollonia
Igor
H (yes, just an H. Boy.)
Setanta
Helia
Zophrina
Janessa
Edwige
Cassia
Eliska
Fumie
Kendra
Mossy (apparently a common nickname for Irish Tomas)

Overheard a mum calling out for her daughter "Ocean-Melody"

I work with a girl called Pagan

Met a woman once called Tuesday. Was in her late 40s.

Ulysses

There were twins at my DS Jo Jingles class called Silver and Gold.

Silver is a girl and Gold is boy.

Yes, Ishbel is a perfectly normal name in Scotland. It’s not common - there’s not one in every class. But it’s not weird.

Lettice was used to be a popular girls name a century ago. It’s not pronounced Lettuce, it’s Le Teece .

Ocean,
Meadow,
Pixie,
Bluebell,
August,
Ottallie,
Havelock,
Also, sisters called hailie, rainie, & stormie

Just to point out, all very white British

I know:
Innocent
Captain
Axel
Princess
Cassius

Xanthe and Ianthe and Kendra arent that uncommon!

Theres also an Ursala, Pocahontos and a Britney Spears round my way.

Veryan
Riah (like Mariah without the Ma)
Annona
Richenda

A teacher friend insisted she once taught a Jkmn pronounced Noelle (no L)

I once knew a Lee Lee - he was abandoned as a baby and was only given a first name, was never adopted and given a surname, so he used Lee as both first name and surname. Quite sad really.

My son used to go to the childminder with a little girl called Ember.

Which is slightly unusual, but it was much later when I later discovered she had 3 brothers called Blaze, Inferno and Flame and a little sister called Spark that I was rather

Malibu. 🙄

Oh, I knew a Djhonny. His mum was not English speaking and gave him an English name - Johnny - as she found it aspirational. She was a single mum, not very literate, very hard up, and wanted the best for her boy. She didn't know how to spell it.

When I knew him, he was a very successful self made businessman and had bought his mum a house.

It obviously worked!

I always loved that story.

Tia Maria
Star
Blue
Grey
Cistine

Tiami named after Princess Tiiamii Andre 😬

Onion (pronounced same as the vegetable).

Isn’t La-a just a myth?

I know of a Anduin, Jarrah, Zugi.

My husband works with a orpheus & his daughters called Oberi pronounced O-Berry
