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?

At a soft play, a little girl called Coast.

Really? Because I was told this story as if it happened to a friend of a friend in 2011 and it wasn't true then.

I have met many khalil’s with variations on the spelling… I once had a Kal-el named on a school play list and thought it was an unusual way to spell a traditional name but after realising he siblings called krypton and Clarke understood his parents were just avid super man fans 🤪

Bryn is Welsh.

I like Milan too! I work with engineers in Serbia etc. & a lot of young engineers (22-30) are called Milan.

Gift. It was an adult and I thought that they were joking so I did a little awkward laugh😳

I worked with a South African man who’s middle name was Rudolph and he used it for his son, apparently it was a family name. I suppose it meets the mumsnet unusual name requirements of known but not popular nor dated, and easy to spell and pronounce.

I know a little girl Cove which is on a similar wavelength. Unusual but suits her.

When I was 17 in my first job, I got a new manager and I will never forget him saying he would name his child this and then explained how it's "heaven backwards" with a tone and expression which suggested what he was telling me would absolutely blow my mind. Bless him 😅

I think on one of the Teen Mom or 16 & Pregnant shows, one of the babies is called Neveah, so I'm not surprised it has picked up.

To be fair, I think it's a perfectly pretty sounding name, it's just the "Heaven speltt backwards" thing I can't get over!

That is a very old name, I like it. Also love Perseverance. All the African virtue names are so nice.

I know a kid with the middle names Neon and Ladybird! They were even on tv as her parents talked about their IVF journey

Yeah @EffieGraysDisappointingWeddingNight but I've only ever heard it pronounced 'nev-at-uh' which means it's pronounced differently to how the spelling suggests it should be. It's a ludicrous amount of shoehorning for a completely shit name.

Not a child, and some years ago - "Hamish McSporran". Can't get much more Scottish than that!

I also completely love the name Loveday, it's definitely not a new modern name and I wanted to name my DD it, but DP vetoed it. I still wistfully dream of having a Loveday one day.

Someone I knew gave her daughter the middle name Comfort as she said that's what she was to her-her comfort.

Siblings Tia Maria and Jack Daniel. Tequila.

Loxley Fox's parents must have been big fans of the Disney cartoon version of Robin Hood.

This is a character from that kids movie where they got each other with the custard splurge guns…….buggy Malone!!

I think Nevaeh is pretty.

But I always assume it is Niamh which is pronounced 'Neev' I believe. I love Irish names like that. There was an Aoife in DS2s baby rhyme time class years back which I loved as well.

Jet and Venetia, children I taught in riding classes, Suffolk.

As as kid (so back when dinosaurs roamed the earth) we knew a lad called Bonzo. Not sure what his parents were thinking as the other siblings had fairly standard names.

He is also a major saint, one of the fathers of the collated Old Testament, who was martyred by being thrown to the lions in the Colosseum.

The founder of the Jesuits was called Ignatius, too.

And means "hill". For example, Bryn Terfel, famous classical singer. It is a pretty standard sort of Welsh name.

Then why did you claim it was someone you'd met?
