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?

These are fab.

I’ve worked with both a Norbert and an Egbert.

I knew a GP called Dr Pain (spelt that way too).

A lovely young girl called Blessing...... People she worked with kept trying to saddle her with nicknames (( Lessy, Liz, etc)) but she very firmly insisted her proper name was used.

@KingofQueens

My very first midwife was called Comfort. What a marvellous name for a midwife.

I knew a boy called Stanley Snowball.

I love names - I've taught a boy called Glory which I thought was a wonderful name. Lots of Blessings, a girl called Petergaye and she really owned it and took absolutely no shit from the silly boys who teased her about it.

@DoucheCanoe

Liberty Bell is probably the funkiest name I've come across.

I actually quite like the names Tuesday and Wednesday for a girl but would never be brave enough to use them myself!

I know a Tuesday who is lovely and she may have a famous father
