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?

Fillow.

That makes me think “James James Morrison Morrison commonly known as Jim ..”

Dash could be short for Dashiell, unusual but I've known one.

Clarence. For a girl. Her dad earnestly explained to me that she had been named in honour of Clarence Thomas, ffs, shortly after he became a US Supreme Court justice involving the hearings where he had to answer serious charges of sexual harassment from Anita Hill. It being the early 90s of course, she was not taken seriously and he was. And a truly shitty justice he has turned out to be.

My mum had cousins, born in the 1920s, called Bramble and Valiant. I kind of love Bramble.

I definitely heard the Nazionalsozialist version

I always thought Clarence was a girl's name when I was younger, like Florence.

Highbree - Arsenal fan for a dad

How else would you pronounce it if not a german speaker ??

I'd only known it as Add-olf.
The boy I knew had one parent from Mexico and one who was born in - iirc - Arizona. No German connections afaik.

Once came across a boy called Supreme. I forget his cultural background but was told it wasn't uncommon.

There was a weight lifter many years ago called Precious McKenzie (MacKenzie?). He was tiny - but terrifically strong.

Peter Pan. It was a little girl (a preschooler).

I was teaching English in China and the teachers weren’t great at choosing Western names for their pupils. There was another little girl called Frank 😂😂

I remember Precious McKenzie - in my memory, he was always breaking weight-lifting records on Blue Peter.

President Johnson's wife was called Ladybird - but your post did remind me that many years ago I met an American lady named "Cricket".

We had one too @rogueone . North Yorkshire in the 80s?

I’d be more embarrassed about making so much effort just to correct another poster . Let it go: she said she knows one and we don’t know she doesn’t.

Quinoa pronounced (as it should be) Keen-wa

We all struggled to keep a straight face

No I was just saying I liked it in the context of Niamh vs neveah

No it isn't.

If they become more popular here they will cease to be random, but at the moment that's what they are.

There's somebody at work called Moreblessed and princess. I also
came across a little girl called renford which is just awful.

I don't get it? Because it's not heaven spelt backwards

I was at school with people called Ignatius and Siobhan - also a Cornelius
