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.

Was that a boy or girl @guineakoo?

Not unusual as such but I know a baby Rodney. God awful name!

I'd say Rodney was pretty unusual. I don't know a single one under 80!

Friends Grandchildren Jago and Lowenna

I actually really like Lowenna I think its beautiful. However, I had never come across one before. Jago is one Ive seen on MN but not come across one in rl.

Lowenna is an old Cornish name that means ‘a happy child’.

My friend’s new grandchild is called Armani .

There's a couple of Lowenna's in the Cornish side of the family

Kal-Al. After Superman apparently.

And a Warldoh, Sylvester (Silver), Hunter, Tallon, Isambard, Hermione (Minnie), Hilda. Also a Siri, but this is an Indian family, and it may be a more common Indian name??

I teach, so I see hundreds of names.

Lots at work as a social worker that are unusual but in my circle these have made me raise an eyebrow (to be fair my kids names are certainly unusual as not British)

Dorothy
Hamish (no Scottish connection)
Velvet

Lollipop and Dolphin are pretty wild

Love Ivo!

I remember a friend of mine once teaching twins called Delsey Dinah and Chelsea China.

One of my DC’s classmates is called Snow ❄️

Is that a boy or a girl?

Quincy

A lot of these are really lovely, I love an uncommon name.

I knew a Trinity-Angel a few years ago and have met a Manhattan (girl)

Wolf (boy) Mum was very new-age.

my DD went to school with and Ivo - his full name was Ivaylo

Our dog is called Fox - suits him and actually not turned off to it as an idea for a baby 🤔

@SiouxsieSiouxStiletto a girl

Bentley.

Dax and River.

Recently met a young person called Kristella which I thought very pretty.

I actually couldn't tell... I think a boy
