What's the most unusual baby name that you've encountered recently?

[CaramelJones]

I mean real names not La-A and Lemonjello or Chlamydia or other urban legends.

A friend in the U.S has called her baby son, Sundance. I rather like it in a way though I was taken aback at first.

I met a McLaren recently too, not as unusual as Sundance but not something that you encounter every day either.

I find it really interesting that Mary was once so ubiquitous and is now actively unusual. I know a little Mary, too, but I haven't met anyone else called Mary who's younger than about 40!

Vaila

Tygee (boy)
Blodwin (girl)

Journèe - spelled like that. Like the French for day but with the accent going the wrong way. It's a boy.

I think it's interesting that this was the most popular girls name for such a long time, think it was knocked off by Linda?

DC1 is coming up to 20 and in all that time I've only met one little Mary.

Navy
Colby

Sorry Navy (girl)
Colby (boy)

Now I've got "In the Navy" by the YMCA going through my head. Luckily for that little girl, it's a reference that anyone younger than Gen X probably won't get!

I have it in my head whenever I see her 😂

I would too to be fair

My DD watches a YouTube family and their son is called Cozy

Oh and a BoBo in my DD's class

Ozzy is definitely unusual and isn't BoBo another word for sleep?

Knowing kids though it will just get shortened to B.O.

@SiouxsieSiouxStiletto 🤣. She's a lovely baby but honestly I can't help it lol.

I meant Cozy not Ozzy. Honestly this bloody autocorrect drives me batty.

It’s a very friendly lion…

My great grandmother was Blodwyn. We called her Blodders (but not where she could hear us).

Alba - for a little girl, I think it’s quite unusual…makes me think of a Walkman.

You might be showing your age there @MissingMoominMamma!

I have a Fox and Babette in my family, love them both. The most unusual (not related) was not the name but the spelling...Destyni.

I love Babette. We did consider it for DD. Not loving Storm Babet so much, not the spelling.

Seven
Cairo
Ziggy

Not a baby but in my class this year I have a Beyoncé Princess 🙈

Now that is unusual. Bet you won't get to teach another!

Coco-Baby.
