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?

Not random but Sherlock Holmes. Love it!

Ignatius: I love it. Female form Ignatia which is quite popular when nuns take a name.

Don’t like Percy. Have met one and hope he doesn’t grow to be Pervy Percy.

Not a child ,but a lovely lady called Dimple Mistry who had been treated at the same hospital as the princess of Wales .Unusual name I felt

I have met a....

Mercedes

Blue

Bleu

Aston Martin

Ocean

Aajay

I used to work with a Xanthe, in a shop in Edinburgh!

Brilliant Pongo
Binbing
Totty

Maybe regional. Accent can make a big difference. I know people who have avoided a "-y" or "-ie" ending in Nottingham as they hate the local accent.

Took?

Shouldn’t it be Ambrosius for a boy (as in Ambrosius Aurelianus)? which actually sounds quite cool if you don’t focus on the anus ending too much.

Totty!? Please no …

Person I knew was called Jenae. Called her son Eanej.

A friend's daughter is called Pearl and she's in her mid 20d

There's a Buzz (boy) and a Gypsy (girl) at my daughter's nursery.

My fav obscure names: Ebenezer, Scout and Misty, Ladybird, Meadow- love them all tbh

When dc1 was small at toddler group I was introduced to a new baby called "Casey". Asked how it was spelt (meaning ending in 'ie' or 'ey') because I was doing the register. Mum told me literally "KC"

Logix

DD’s middle name is in there 😁

I know a little Ianthe and it’s quite sweet on her.

Also an Annuciata.

But I’m going to have to pop off this thread because I actually think all the Ancient Greek and Latin type names are pretty cool. Not so fond of the obvious ones like Maximus or Julius.

Random

His name was actually random

What's wrong with Elspeth? Good Scottish name, I know a few of them.

Jellybean is adorable as a nickname - are you sure it wasn’t that? For passport, wedding vows etc … not so much : “ I, Jellybean, take thee …”

I don’t think that kind of name is fair. It has to be phonetically plausible to be a reasonable attempt.

At least it wasn’t KFC I suppose 🙄

Mercedes isn’t as bad as it sounds. The car was named after the name not the other way round . It’s like if they released a car called the Sylvia.

Do you mean 'Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei'
