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?

A lot of the names people think are outlandish are Catholic Saints names (and common amongst Catholic families).

St Ignatius (founder of the Jesuits and Ignatian Spirituality)
St Blaise (patron of sore throats)
St Peregrine (patron of cancer sufferers)
St Cosmo (usually celebrated alongside St Damien)

Peaches and Rocko

Calypso!! Made me think of an ice lolly!!

Nefertiti. On a children’s hospital announcement board, so definitely not hisheard. It’s a lot to live up to.

I worked in a school with a girl called Blaze and a boy called Nato.

Disney

A girl in my sons year at school (they’ve left and are 18/19 now) called Beyoncé.

I know a of a couple of Beau’s.. one boy, one girl..

@27Mankinis Aoife isn’t uncommon??

And the twins Oranjello and Lemonjello.

Jersey
Bentley
Serenity
Kaleesi

Heaven
Holiness

Daisy-roo
neveah
junior junior
Merlin

@peachescariad Beau is quite a common name to be fair not unusual at all

There are a fair few of those from Sheffield. I taught a student who came from Sheffield and it was his middle name because his dad is a Sheffield United fan.

I also met a “Lord Prince” which was a bit of a shocker!

I love Tuesday! Not brave enough to use it though.

Also had a colleague Venetia, pronounced Ven-net-tia rather than Veneesha, she was Greek, always thought it was really pretty.

and went to school with James James.

I know a Lark, he’s a bit annoying rather than fun.

Not unusual but my kids are friends with Susan and Mavis which always tickles me.

My Mum had guests stay and the father was called Rusty Knight and daughter was Stormy Knight.
I don’t know if the father’s was his given name, but his daughter was definitely christened Stormy.

We have a Nevaeh (mostly spelled wrong on this thread) in my son's class and she's a lovely girl just to provide a balance to the others!

Sir England. No, I am not making this up. This was in Texas.

It's unusual to me, that's why I put it in this thread. I've only come across one.

@bananamonkey Someone I know's dad is called James James but for I would imagine obvious reasons he's always called Jimmy or Jim.

Finale - because it was this woman's last child. Finale's older sister was called Winter because that's when she was born. The mum went in for marvellously literal names.

I know of Destiny, think it's a lovely name and love Serendipity, winder if she was?

A poor little boy in NZ called Ruthless-Enoure Soulja Reign Rhind Shephard Wall. His name was the least of it sadly, poor child was brutally killed. He never had a chance from the start.

Tesla. I thought it must be Tessa at first (looked like a boy, but...) But no. Definitely Tesla.

A kid in my cousins class was called Tuesday , Surname Knight.
