I used to work as an events planner years back and did a fair few christening after parties and the two names that always stuck with me:

Girl: Erfamel
Boy: Post

There were many others I didn't like or I thought were out there but these 2 really didn't feel right to even say out loud at the time.

Interesting to see what other people's interpretation of unusual is though as some about I would say are certainly not unusual.

Great thread.

This actually made me think about someone at work- she had a baby in January and called him Calgon at first I thought maybe the name had been misspelt but nope !!.... she joined a teams meeting at Easter to introduce us to him and his name was definitely Calgon!
