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.

Dorothy and Hamish are pretty ordinary

I met a Red but she was legally Scarlet.

Lettice is an alternative spelling of Leticia.

Milan, male.

Ariella

Farley... Reminds me of the rusks

Pebbles. After the Flintstones character.

Just seen Pebbles already mentioned on here! Little girl called Ripley at our local playgroup, found that unusual.

Boys:
Odin
Ragnar
Loel

Girls:
Coco
Ephrasinia
Iggy

Ocean-Ray Sunshine Surname. Bloody awful.

Zephyr.

Cedar (boy)

Croyde for a boy (celeb rower called son after Croyde Bay)
Farley, Oakley (preschoolers currently)

Tain (Boy)

Place name first name so I wonder if his parents met there.

Makes me think of Farley's Rusks but then I am quite old and appreciate that a lot of people wouldn't make that connection.

Yes exactly!! 🤣

Honestly if you love it use it. It’s a proper name, I imagine it’s due a revival and even if it doesn’t become popular it’s not like you’re calling your child Custard or something. And actually once you use a name it soon becomes totally normal.

*awaits stoning from Custard’s mum

I know of a family with DD's called Clover and Flora.

Tate

Rayvenn (girl)

Odin (boy)

Rayvenn. The poor girl.

I guess the last two posters know the same person.

Rayvenn is bloody awful.

I teach a boy called Vlad. In my mind I always think ‘the impaler’ whenever I say it!

I think I would too!
