Most random kids name you have encountered in real life….

[Mittemucci]

Today I met a child called Bismarck

i felt like it was one of the names you read about but wonder if anyone is actually called that….

what’s the most unusual name you have ever come across in daily life?

Where I grew up we had a neighbour 3 doors down on one side of us named Owen Balls and next door neighbour called Richard Ball (his nickname was not Dick, but he did often have remind people it wasn’t)

My DC was at school with a Monti Dell - reverse it for the man who likes to say yes if are old enough to remember the ads

I’ve met a Castello and a Santiago - just named after places the parents had been. They were known as Cas and Santi which seemed to work.

Neveah (Heaven backwards). This is in the UK - think it's quite a US trend though.

Blackberry and Ocean

There has been a L'a. Sometime in the late 1990s I think. I looked it up on the online register of births once but I can't find the screenshot now!

Beau is already masculine - Beaux would be masculine plural. Neither make a lot of sense for a girl! (The feminine version is Belle.)

Hitler never claimed to be a Nazi - apparently it was a pejorative nickname for Catholic Germans for whom Ignaz was a common name, shortened to 'nazi.

A little girl called Beau and a man called Major, what was unusual about that was apparently his brothers 3 or 4 of them, I think we're also called Major. They were known by their middle names at home!

I taught a Loki. His brother was Odin!

I and my friends have quite unusual but actual babes for our children. I know a few though made up from a mix of mum and dads' names. Some nice, some weird! I'm not putting them here as would be outing.
My mum (77) had a friend at school in London named Neil O'Neil - parents were obv fond of their surname Neil!
A woman I know named Jenny, married into my friend's family named Taylor so her name was Jenny Taylor - often referred to as 'genitalia'. I don't think she realised that! Honestly!!! They're divorced now but she is still Jenny Taylor, I kid you not!
My exH had a friend at school in the 70s named Benjamin. Completely fine. Was known as Ben. His mum then met and married a man called Mr Ben Jarmin. He didn't actually change his name, but if he did - his name would have been Benjamin Jarmin. Or Ben Jarmin!

As a French teacher it really grates on me when people use a French word as a name wrongly. Beau is the masculine singular and Beaux is the masculine plural. Neither of which make any sense as a name for a girl. The female version is Belle (like the princess!)
I also know a child called Roux which either means a white sauce, or ginger, when talking about hair (he's not).

I kew a family who had many kids and one of the girls was called Opheilia and one of the boys was called Everard which is fine but there surname was Dick

Wolfric is German. Quite cute I think

Tequila

I know a Morris Morris
(In my head I always follow his name with "so good they named him twice")

Also Fanny, Dorcas , Dre and Sublime. I also knew a white, blonde boy called Pharrel. Feral by name and feral by nature.

My friend knows a Nokia....

Faith, Patience and Grace have in the not too distant past been not uncommon names among white Brits.

Oh I love these!

Guy.
But the parents, having only ever seen it written down, pronounced it "Gooey"

Ignatius is a perfectly legitimate name

ds Went to school with a Mazzy-Star.

@Riverlee I know a few TJ so I wouldn't think it's too random. Rural Ireland often had lots of TJ and DJ and PJ type names.
Not first names but my grandmother had a Mrs Heart on her street who lived across from Mrs Kidney

I worked with a guy who gave his daughter the middle name of Danger.

And yes, he was as David Brentish as that would suggest.

Oh I forgot the best one - I met a Maximus Rex. The first name chosen because he was a big baby apparently, but its excellent with the surname
