Most unusual name you’ve ever heard?

[ikeakia]

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

Tallulah-Belle

Some of these are so ridiculously untrue.

Isola.

Blaise

Diggery

@sashh what is wrong with Jenna Taylor?

I met a guy named Swarley. I thought it was a joke because it's a fake name used on How I Met Your Mother, but he showed me his ID. He was a bit of a twat anyway, so I wouldn't be surprised if he'd changed it to that "for the lols"

Comfort
Naturelle
Precious
Blessing
Darling

All girls. All gorgeous.
And an elderly Irish gentleman called Jarlath. Great name.

Vaughan is another good one.

I know of

Django
Diesel
Charisma
Blue

My niece is called Ocean.

My mum swears she went to school with a Peter Peters

Vanguard
Jarlath is a very commonly known Irish name

The girl above DD2 on the birth register is Stargazer Lily.

Tryphena is the most unusual name of someone I’ve met.

To the PP who wrote Fetus - I think the German name is pronounced like that but it’s Vitus

Chilli-boy
Zero-boy
Rainbow-girl

My friends mum was a teacher and she had a child called Shaun Lamb

I don't understand what's strange about that one?

Thinking of names where I've only ever met one person called that, I have met a Melody and a Beulah and a Xanthe. They're not strange or made up names but I'd guess they're fairly unusual.

My mum swears she went to school with a Peter Peters

Was she brought up in N Ireland? I've met a few Davy Davisons and Billy Williamson and the like, so a Peter Peters wouldn't surprise me!

Siblings called Mercedes, Saab and Bentley

Not unusual names in themselves but I know identical twin girls, Marie and Maria.

So many of these comments are really racist

My mum knew an Alan Allan.

Teacher here too. I have known a Blue (a girl) a Leaf (a boy) and many others that are somewhat bonkers. I agree that it's the dodgy spellings these days that make me lift an eyebrow. For example Emmerleigh (pronounced Emily) whose mum complained that teachers were pronouncing it wrong (staff were saying "emmeR" as it is spelt and were duly told it should be pronounced Emily). Bonkers!!!

I've seen lots of unusual names in my career including several Jesus's but Denim I've only met once.

Only properly unusual one I've taught is Zillion.

He was a male prisoner and he was named that by his mum because 'he was more special that one in a million.'

I know a little girl called Truly Scrumptious! Middle name Mary!

Italiahannah; hideous & stupid 🙄
