Splendid names you've come across

[whatausername]

I recently heard of an Elphinstone Dalgleish. Have also met a couple of kids called Star.

What fun/marvellous/slightly wacky names have you come across?

It took me until page 5 to find my DD's name!

I knew a Rainbow-Lily which was sweet. I also currently know an Angel who is anything but lol

A girl called Amazing or Maisie for short. Not my cup of tea but certainly unusual!

My friend's sister's baby was delivered by an obstetrician called Dr Fani McCunti

My DD was delivered by a doctor called Mohammed Ali, which tickled me

My cousin in Australia taught 4 siblings called Lynx, Lock, and twins Chain and Charm. Parents were motorbike enthusiasts.

I know a toddler named Banjo.

In the past I have taught students called Vincent, Jeramiah and another called Milicent.

Millicent is a classic British name? I wanted to call my DD that but had a son instead.

How is Vincent a wild/unusual name?

I've just remembered 2 from school. A girl called Kizmit, and also a Fladia Phoenix

Hebron. Such a lovely name

Former primary school teacher in London:

First name: Buya
Surname: Kasha

True story.

@ashitghost

At school years ago our teacher was called Dick Willy Cox.

So brave to become a teacher 🤣

@Katieandthekids, we had a teacher called Richard William Fallas! He owned that name!

Best name I've ever come across is a lady in a social history book about the Scottish Isles: Euphemia McCrimmon. She looked stern as hell in the pictures as well!

I know siblings called Ellis and Eloise, both lovely names, but an odd choice for siblings I always thought.

I've met a Ron McDonald.

DH used to work with a Tim Mallet

I wonder if that's the same one as the Tim E. Mallet I came across? That's how he signed off, with the initial in too

I know I am being thick, but that is the third time the name Tim Mallet has come up and I can't for the life of me understand why it is unusual.

What am I missing?

I would also like to know this

I assume it’s because the posters grew up watching Timmy Mallett on kids tv.

My cousin is Hebe

Saffron Swinger (I would have changed that)
Pebbles
Brieze
Ocean

@Dreamingof3

My cousin is Hebe

Love that name!

My son goes to school with Tavish McDougall (we live in Scotland), I love that!

Also when I was at school there was a boy called Marc Aqualina (said Aqua-leena) and, although he was utterly unremarkable, we all wanted to marry him so we could be Mrs Aqualina.

I like the name of the news broadcaster Damian Gramaticus.

I went to school with a Ronnie Rennie. Why? What were Mr&Mrs Rennie thinking?

There are some great names in the Victorian cemetery beside my flat:
Sunshine Cornthwaite
Willoughby Ibbotson
Worthington Bridge
Azelia Sharp
Septimus Frost
Batty Castle
Easter Fairy

Are some of my favourites!
