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?

Well I wouldn't call my son "Dick", but Dick Cheney parents thought otherwise and it never stopped him from making it to US Vice President post. Why "Olive" is deemed an acceptable and even tasteful name, but "Apple" is not? I will never understand that.

Work in a secondary school and we've had:
Vox
Pen
Beau
Jewel

Full names not abbreviated....probably more unusual rather than random really.

@ruralwanderer Ignatius is an old Irish name. It's great. I went out with a guy called Ignatius when I was a teenager

There were 83 boys called that in 2021. Ignacio is a very common boys name in Spain.

I live in Australia, many, many boys named Beau!!

Cheeky and Booboo

I quite like the sound of Getty, but can't really get my head around the spelling they chose. It doesn't look lovely on the page.

It's a very unusual name where I live and I still do a double take every time I hear it. I'm sure in a big city it would pass completely unnoticed.

I have a family member who called his son Ignatius. The parents are Irish/Irish descent. He’s known as Iggy.

Ghita is nickname for Margarita (not sure on spelling) and Zita was last Habsburg Empress

I know baby boy Milan. Has nothing to do with Italy or football though, his family is from Eastern Europe and it is quite a common name. Milan Kundera (novelist) also was Czech.

My great niece is called Serendipity.

My mate's grandson has just been christened Kairo.

I have also met a female Noah and a female Wyatt (babies).

I have known some Precious, Chosen, Princess and Loved people, but that's a cultural thing that just seems unusual in the UK.

@Chypre Dick is a nickname for Richard. It used to be a common nickname but obviously it has fallen out of favour now

Armani Bluu. Met at a baby group.

my kid goes to school with a Neveah

I thought it was a urban myth...

Ignatius is a saints name so there are a fair few Catholic Ignatius’

I taught in a couple of faith based schools in the UK and a lot of the children with African born parents had the most beautiful names like Mercy, Faith, Patience, Grace, Blessed ❤️

Another very popular name in Australia!

Yes, it's used a lot.

The first company I worked for had a computer system called Pick. It was created by Dick Pick!

Obviously, this was before the internet and mobile phones.

Calamity Jane, when I worked in a secondary school 20 years back. There were 3 or 4 siblings and they all had very unusual names but hers is the one I remember!

Not that unusual at all. Its a Saints name.

Yes, I've taught boys from the Czech Republic called Milan, it's a nice name.

Mine too.

Can confirm that Lleh would have been a better fit.
