Head turning baby names

[Knifeandfawkes]

Have you heard any recently that have made you do a double take? I know of two baby Jason's born in the last two years, the first of which I found very unusual, the second of which is making me think this is maybe coming back in vogue and I'm behind the times?

@AllTheUsernamesAreAlreadyTaken

Ian!!!!

Turns out I’d misheard and it was actually Kian though

How disappointing!

A friend named her daughter Elsa and then vehemently denied it was inspired by Frozen

Buster

Atlas for a girl for me surprised me too, although a couple of years ago now.

@IggyAce

I work in a school and in recent years the only name I’ve done a double take at was Alan, I think of it as a name for someone my dads age.

I think I'm probably related to this Alan - there can be only one ages under 18 (apparently it works well in English and Spanish)

My ex called his child Loki. Quite cute but the kid really isn’t a ‘Loki’ type at all, Alan might have suited him better……

What's the chick from the Exorcist called?

Sorry if this has already been said

For mixed reasons, maybe Delilah, Connie, Bo, Lillibet (!), Angharad, Cassia.

For boys, Bear, Blue/Bleu, Edwin, Woodrow.

There's a kid called Ozzie at playgroup, not sure if it's a full name, another is called destiny and another diseree

I met a baby Michael recently. Nothing wrong with the name, was just odd to be introduced to a baby called Michael when I haven’t seen the name in anyone younger than 30!

Twins called Marley and Hendrix 😭

@EgbertNoBac0n

Sisters Destiny and Serenity

Love those names and they aren't particularly unusual

Recently met a 3 year old called Janet which seemed totally out of step with her siblings modern names

I met a baby Keith recently. I guess names like that will be coming around again.

Have taught a beautiful child called Meadow and it really suited her. Pixie, Piper and Star likewise

Patrick, Woodrow and Bruce are all names we used/were going to use.

Personally I think all are strong classic men's names. They won't be babies very long, pick a man's name.

@StacySolomanisamassivetwat I know a Hendrix too! With all these makey uppy style names they seem crazy at first and then you just get used to them.

I know a teenage Japan - as far as I know she / her parents has no links to the country / has never visited

Shopping in Manchester a while back and a mum shouted her kid ......Lazarus !!! Turned a few heads it did !

I looked after a little boy called Dave- not short for David, a girl called Willie with her surname meaning a similar word, and my relative has twins called Claxon and Garibald.

Orlando, Florian and Persephone, all siblings.

@ForTheLoveOfSleep

Lucifer Morningstar Surname... I shit you not.

@ForTheLoveOfSleep, I love how you’ve omitted the surname as if it won’t be outing then! Hopefully wee Lucifer’s mum isn’t a MNer

Ps if you are…please talk us through that decision?

@ForTheLoveOfSleep

Lucifer Morningstar Surname... I shit you not.
