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.

Could 'Arrow' be Arrio? I've heard of that as a name.

There's a little Frenchi (girl) around here which I find quite hard to get my head around.

Loki always makes me cringe.

Like did the parents even do a two-minute Google before landing their kid with the same name as a malicious god from a different culture?

There's a Rusty in our family.

Nicotine?? Really?!

@VonTrippTrapp I love the name Athelstan! They must have been fans of the TV show Vikings! 😂 I'd never be brave enough to use it though 😂

Loe. It's pronounced to rhyme with Chloe. I like it.

Colleague just called her new baby girl McVey. Which I thought was a surname but 🤷‍♀️

@NewtoHolland I like that!! Is that for a boy or girl or unisex do you know?

@CatLadyDrinksGin
I think the name the poster gave was Nico'tiana, after the flower not Nicotine. 😀

That’s not what the kids at school will think of!

Met a little Fox the other day.

Correct. She was known as Nico.

I have a friend with an Onyx - he's almost a teenager now.

And funny to see people mention Athelstan - I know an adult one, known as Ath.

Also know of babies Sydney (girl) and Cass (boy), which were unusual to me.

I know a couple of oksana's, think it's a polish name so maybe just unusual outside Poland

I know a Sage and a Zulu (Zulu is a white Scottish child with white Scottish parents, no connection to the Zulu tribe)

Bunty. A very twee name that doesn't really match her personality

There’s a baby Susan at DC’s nursery which always makes me smile, not unusual on a woman in her 50s but strange on a baby in 2022.

I love old lady names but there’s a Mavis in DC2’s class which seems to be taking it a bit too far.

Love Fox and Faraday.

Recently heard a small child being called Jeff/Geoff at soft play.

Elder - who is the youngest of the family

Nooooooooo!!

That's absolutely BATSHIT!!!
