Weirdest name you've encountered in real life?

[Socksforxmas]

Slightly piggy backing off another thread in this topic but just really curious about this.

Obviously we've all heard of some very unusual suggestions on this site and we can all think of a celeb that's opted for something very unique but in your day to day life what would you say is most unusual you've come across?

For me it'd probably be Maverick for a boy and Lavender-Lily for a girl.

@KingsleyBorder I made the same comment upthread re Chlorophyll and Photosynthesis 😁

Cortina (she’d be 60s now). Hendrix. Jezebel. Candida.

Monserrat was a girl in my bother's primary class.

Flash Gordon. Boy in my DSIS's class at school.

Dimple is the name of an Indian actress. She has a sister called Simple and daughters called Twinkle and Rinkle (who goes by Rinke).

The most unusual I know is probably a friend called Spring, named after the season. Any other season name seems ok but Spring still feels odd to me.

Gruff Justice.

A weedy little lad in DS's class. Sounded like he was a film character played by Arnold Schwarzenegger but he was never going to be able to live up to the hype. Poor kid!

Hope that wasn't a comment on her parentage!

Marley and Hendrix twins
Unique for a girl and China

Time for bed!

Similar, I know someone called Rumer. I thought it was strange at first but I have grown to love it. And she is a beautiful person, so that helps!

Winter Snow.

Born in July

Princess, Fox, Winter, Axel.

Lariah. Daughter to a huge Mariah Carey fan who was married to a man named Larry and wanted a unique name honouring them both.

@ladygindiva ah my ones are teenagers now! TBF I think Zephaniah is an awesome name. Zeph is a great NN.

Think the one I met was Russian/american. It’s a powerful moniker!

I do also know a Pocahontas Maguire tho she changed her name once adult.

I'm crying laughing at this one! It's the juxtaposition

There is a boy called Hatchet in DD's class.

No- this was in the UK.

I thought Pocahontas McGuinty was another urban myth along with La-a. To those of you who know a Pocahontas- do you really really know one or is it a cousin of a friend?!

Found the article!

I agree, Zephaniah is fabulous

Yes, @AQuantityOfNaughtyCats — it’s actually hilarious people are trotting out urban legends that have been thoroughly debunked and expecting people to believe them. It does make me wonder about their general intelligence, though. They’re presumably the kind of people who think something is true because someone said it on the internet, so they can claim they actually witnessed the registration of La-a, or taught Pocahontas?

A friend of mine did teach a Kylie O’Reilly as a student teacher, which both sounds slightly mad in a cheery way, and slightly like a drag queen name.

My late mother fostered a child in 1985 called Cellnet. The child’s mother had seen the name on the side of a bus and loved it.
Thank God she omitted the BT before Cellnet. I think Social Services changed her name.

I also used to work with someone called Theresa Green
