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.

Ember
Evony
Esher

Achilles

I'm loving Indigo, Faraday and Fox. Shame mine are teens now.

Ace

Tudor, Sanguine, Cobain

I've had a Lyric, Unique, Prince and Manson in my care. I used to have to go through all the M names in my head til I remembered Manson every time

Love Birdie that a PP mentioned - I know of one too.

I think children just become their names though, and it's eventually just their name - no other connotation.

Sanguine!! 😳😱

I know a Lux and a Lavender. My neighbour used to teach a Strawberry and a Delsey. I also overheard a Saxon the other day.

Arlo.

it’s awful. Even as a dog’s name.

Exactly!

A friend's new niece is called Gertrude Mavis, which are two baby names I haven't run into otherwise.

Arlo

There are gazillions of baby Arlos!

I recently met a four year old girl called Tarragon. Quite like it!

Io (yes that’s the letter i then o).

We have a Faraday in the family, I have never seen or heard it mentioned anywhere outside of our family and she is now20.

Ocean
Halo

and also recently met a baby “Bo” and when I asked about spelling (as I assumed Beau) his mum said “no it’s spelt B O” - feel kinda sorry for the little guy going to school with that name!

Domino. Every time I see him I want pizza and boardgames

Wilde. I kind of like it (and he's the sweetest wee boy) but then I think hmm... kind of setting him up for negative judgements on his character there.

Chyna. As in China with a y. ....

Bluebird. It's her actual name, not a nickname.

There's a girl in my town called journey and another called cremma. Certainly the most unusual names I've ever heard and my own ds has a very unusual name but nothing like them.

Ones I’ve heard recently that I’ve only heard once:

Moss
Crew
Jet
Scout
Archer
Kipling
Orrin

Also I shit you not, 20+ years ago met a couple at Glastonbury and their kids were called Star and Rainbow. They were being pushed around in a wheelbarrow 😂

I met a Shem once, his brothers had Biblical names too but I don’t remember them.

Gods Gift
Ty'nodasha
JT- Jesus' Treasure
Katinka
Lavender
Calypso
Banjo
Sholto (which is my favourite boys name)

Tulip

Loell
(boy)

Monty Santorini!!!! Just love it
