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.

I know of a Hades 😬

My friend has just named her baby Agatha.

I hear that and think fearsome Aunt, not gorgeous baby....

Red

(Waiting to see if DD's name appears!)

Balthazar.

I’ve taught a Birdie and an Ace. Most recent unusual name Noa ( baby a few weeks old). I thought it was an unusual spelling of Noah, but turns out it’s a girl. Perhaps it’s a thing now and I’m just old!

Scania
Oracle
Sabre

I love Faraday and Tudor or the Welsh version Tudur.

Actually Love the name Alan for a boy, DD2 would have been an Alan if she'd been a boy

It is. Can't imagine they googled it or they would have realised it was he name of the Oklahoma bomber... Appreciate not many people will know, but not great...

I know a baby girl called Atlas, she lives in Turkey so I am not sure if it is usual there.
