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?

I knew a family of 3 - 2 boys and a girl - whose parents named them Kenneth, Penelope and Dennis.
The trouble was, it was done to produce the rhyming trio of "Kenny, Penny and Denny" which the 3 of them hated when they got into their teens.

We've been through this - the correct spelling is Nevaeh.

I know someone who had a baby fairly recently and called her Banks. I think it’s lovely, had never heard it before.

Just ignore. Some people come on here fired up to punch.

@vidflex I absolutely love that!

My great-grandma's sister's son married a girl called Fanny Hare. I bet she was glad to get rid of her maiden name.

There was a lawyer at my firm (US branch so I never met her) called Cupcake Brown. That's my favourite name ever I think. Also I think of her when people on the baby name boards say that Missy or Ella-Mae or whoever won't be able to be judges. Cupcake was not a judge but she was a very well paid lawyer at a big firm.

Superb 😂

But his full name was James James Morrison Morrison Weatherby George Dupree. 😁

It is nice.

There was a character in a B/W film called Loveday Mason. David Kossof was in it as well, I think, and Dora Bryan.

(God, I'm old . . . )

I know of a Cosworth with his sister Porsche.

Apparently Mum remarried and the other sister was named Lauren.

That just how they say it. Def Neo Nazi parents there.

Through work: Alatea - but it probably should have been Alatéa because it is pronounced “Allah-tay-uh”. Nice kid, but her mother was absolutely crackers, a compulsive liar and convinced the poor girl had all sorts of medical issues that she didn’t have. It was a train wreck. I think she had another kid with a normal name.

😳

At least it's not spelled with an "e" . . . small mercies . . .

Wouldn't that be Nevaeh ?

Probably quite a nightmare husband now, thinking of how controlling he was towards his mother.

I used to work with a woman called Heavenly Blessings. And she really was - she was just the nicest, jolliest, kindest woman. Her sister was called something like Precious Angel, and was apparently not remotely like her name.

I work in maternity and have had some interesting ones. Managed to talk a woman out of naming her twins Jackson and Jaxon, thankfully! I delivered a baby Malibu, and also a Pebbles. Oh, and Dash. We did have a couple who were planning to name their baby Gryffindor but I think they went for just Griffin in the end.

I overheard a mum in Morrisons yelling for her son Elvis. I actually think it's a great name but not hollered in a Glaswegian accent!

Years later there was a different wee boy at the kids' school called Elvis so maybe it's getting popular?

God - You'd rush into matrimony with just about anyone to get rid of that, wouldn't you?

Hilary Duff aka Disney's Lizzy Maguire named her daughter Banks a few years ago.

Confidence.

Excellent.

Blessing.

Agree - and we don't know when Snopes etc were last updated.

Someone could well have heard that urban myth and though "Hey! That's very clever and witty." and used it.

Ignore them @banjocat

Shetlands

I've recently met an African guy who is called Great, which I love. I'm presuming it's in a 'God is great' meaning.

I know a fabulous Rocky, tho spelt slightly differently. Don't find that particularly random tbh?
