Most unusual name you’ve ever heard?

[ikeakia]

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

I know of a Rainbow, possibly the same one as mentioned up thread.

Other unusual names, mostly already mentioned

Xana
Hester
Kester
Cassius
IDG
Shoshana

My friend taught a Chanel although to make the name a little more unique, it was spelt Channel.

Vigel. Brother is Nigel.

Name changed for this as it's obviously massively outing.

Mine is Kizzi, there's only one other in the world spelt like that as I know of (usually it has a y on the end) and amazingly she has the same surname too!! (And is same age, same height, same hair and eye colour!!) It's African.

Dh is Nakomis. Native American girl's name.

DS is Eifion. My Grandads name and Welsh but I've never heard of it apart from them.

Londubh

How do you pronounce that, @JesusMaryAndJosepheen?

There's a lot of Kizzis on Facebook.

Well quite a lot called Kizzi.

I’ve met a few Kizzis @cupprupe some were short for Kezia(h) but some were just Kizzi

Really?! I've only ever seen it with a y. Maybe it got more popular but originally it was only ever spelt with a y.

Just looked, there are quite a few!! Most do seem to be younger though.

I'm gobsmacked at how many there are! Every time someone hears my name they say they've never heard it before. Maybe I'll get my own cup and keyrings soon, I always hated never finding many thing with my name on it!

I know of a kizzie. In her 50s I think.

There used to be a TV show in the 70s called Kizzy- it was about a gypsy girl I think.

@divebar based on a book called the Diddakoi by Rumer Godden. Never watched it but was one of my favourite books as a child

I know of a McKayla. I'm guessing it's a younique spelling of Michaela

@StegosaurusRex, Londubh is LON-duv or LUN-duv depending on region. The ‘d’ is soft, like the ‘th’ sound in ‘thou’.

That's much nicer than how I was saying it. Thank you

Anastasia-Katharina, with a very long, double barrelled surname.
known as Katie...

Brock and Red, they're brothers

My sister looked after a boy called dasher spelled -er

Blanket... I mean I know Michael Jackson was wacko but this baby is now a teenage boy with the stupidest name.

My sister looked after a boy called dasher spelled -er

Oh come on! The urban myth about the girl called Ladasha (spelled La-a) is absolutely ancient - this time its a boy

My mum wanted to call me Kizzi! (Late '70's) wasn't it a character from TV series 'Roots' ?

There was also Roots in the 70's. Kuntakinte had a daughter and named her Kizzy.

@escape cross post! I've not seen the tv show but I read the book several times (and cried my damn eyes out.)

Blanket is just a nickname. His real name is the far more sensible Prince Michael Jackson II 🤔
