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?

Twin boys at my daughters school
Red and Blu

@Goofbawl

Brother & sister Apache & D’Jhango

I’m fairly sure those are my cousin’s children!

I once encountered a Henry Henderson Chicken, and have always thought that would be a great name for a character in a novel

The names themselves on their own are pretty ordinary but I once knew someone whose sister had twins about ten years ago called Ross and Rachel.

And most unusual of all, Gary-Frank

^^

I'm sorry, but what the, what the.... Rayne-beau??

Paige Turner reminded me of a child at my DD's school called Henrietta Page

Paige Turner js so good!

Aslan and Galadriel - siblings

Two people from years ago
Jupiter Jones and Sandy Beech/

Yorick.

Alas!

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

Came across a Tim E. Mallet recently... don't think it was the whackaday guy!

I know a trudy with her surname beginning with a T as well. I love it

I know siblings called Alana and Alan 😂

Oh and cousins called Euro and Disney 🤦🏽‍♀️

I love the name of the Oz cricketer, Usman Khawaja. The name just rolls off the tongue ! And his fellow cricketers call him The Uz Man, fabulous.

The actor January Jones .

Ds went to nursery with Paradise-Cruze. One of the other parents even checked that they’d heard it right.

If we said “hello paradise” or the like, at drop off time, her mum always corrected up that it was “Paradise-Cruze, not just Paradise”.

Just before they left to go to reception the nursery teacher was giving us fun little games etc to get our kids recognising and beginning to write their names. I always felt sorry for Paradise-Cruze and what a mammoth task she had.

@ememem84

Geoffrey wildeboarhans.

And also used to work with a precious and a sleepy.

I used to know a Jeffrey Wildborehands!! Crazy coincidence

4 brothers at the same school called
Chilli-pepper
Rock
Box
Scooter

Another child called
King-David

And another called Juniper

I have heard plenty working in a call centre but one name always stuck out to me cause I loved it so much.

Her name was Jasmin Tìan Rainbird.

The whole thing was just so lovely and different!!

Worked with someone called wensdy. We're in Yorkshire so it's Wednesday spelt how it's pronounced. Always thought it quite cool

Roundelay and Lovejoy. Is Roundelay from the novel Rebecca?

Not an unusual name, but quite embarrassing. A long time ago, I would've been about 22, I worked for a recruitment company and I called an applicant to ask her about something omitted from her application form. Well, I would never have thought that the way you pronounce Siobahn would have been more like this - 'Shivonne'. Needless to say, I actually called her Siobahn. There was no silent B turning into a nonexistent V when I said it 😂. She corrected me and gave me the right pronunciation to which I replied 'I'm so sorry, your v looks like a b' . I nearly died of embarrassment when she explained.

My mums side of the family are from Cornwall. And I really wanted to call dd Loveday (as in Loveday Carey Lewis from coming home). But DH vetoed it. Boooo.

On dhs side we have a Winter, a Hedley, and my great grandpa was Maurice Juilian Emile big name for a man who was supposedly skinny as a rake strong as a cart horse and about 5foot.
