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.

Sherlock and Athelstan

There's a girl called Lyric at my DDs nursery.

Two brothers called Loki Thor <Surname> and Banner Bruce <Surname>. I had to just force myself to hear the names as noises as the association was too great.

Clarence

Oh wow, I love Athleston!

Lyric and Faraday are both gorgeous!

I have an Odin in my circle of friends.

Cardiff, I do think it's unusual and I'd never have considered it as a name but it suits the person nicely.

Not a baby name but I know an Aqua. It really suits her

Bobbeigh

Brilliantly uneeq in a non-unique way.

I quite like Sundance and Lyric. Athelstan is just very, very old school.

Mclaren just sounds like either a family surname or a family weirdly obsessed with formula 1

@VonTrippTrapp I wanted to give DS the middle name Athelstan but chickened out.

The Athelstan I know has a really common middle name, so he can use that when he's older! It's an old school friend who has an Athelstan and her other dc names are equally fantastic 😄

I absolutely love Faraday much to my surprise.

I love Faraday!

For me a boy called Lucky.

I met a little girl called Larkin and when I asked her parents did they like the poet, they said who?

A baby boy called Estus.

Recently - Bellatrix and Diesel (at a local toddler group). Ever - someone I knew at university called her daughter Nemesis.

On holiday in Cornwall in half term, heard a little boy called Onyx.

“Moon Valentine” 😳

A little girl called Bloom
😬

Sorrel and Echo, Oaken and Freeborn 🤦🏼‍♀️

Friend of a friend has a baby called Birdie, thought it was a nice name but no the actual name is Birdie.

Nick’ name not nice name
