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've mentioned this on here before but on the subject of Beau, I knew someone who called her daughter Beaux which is the masculine version from what I understand but the worst part was the surname begins with O so the mum has given the child the initials BO. Just a bit thoughtless really!

aahahah we did joke if Natas was a better fit as apparently she isn't the nicest...

Ira in America. I realise it is a common name of Hebrew origin but it still always gets me.

A boy called Creed

A girl called Misty Blue

Beaux is plural. Belle (Belles is plural) is the feminine equivalent.

I've met a both a Pacer and a Pace.

@TidyDancer Beau in itself is French for handsome, so it's very male as it is. The female version would be Belle.

Love some African names like that!
Memento was my favourite

Ladybird

Ira Gershwin.

Did ye, aye?

You win! 🤣🤣🤣

Sisters in my daughter's school - Cairo and Berlin.

Also Ladybird! I was waiting for a train about 15 years ago and a woman was telling her daughter off for messing about. The daughter's name was Ladybird.
I've heard Pocahontas shouted across a playground too, and my neighbour a few years ago had a grandson called Saracen.

I was waiting in children's A&E recently and they were calling out for a kid named 'Marvellous' which did make me smile imagining that in a day to day context. Imagine it might be 'Marv' more generally though.

Both Neveah and Lleh at a first glance look like perfectly plausible welsh names to me! Now I see its not the case and those are just heaven and hell spelled backwards. But after Myfanwy encounter I prefer to never judge anyones names and just assume it's something ethnic.

I met a child Santa

Ignatius isn't that odd. I have met quite a few in catholic influenced areas of the world.

Yes, I've come across the name, as pp have said, it's after an important saint..

That's rather beautiful, I like it a lot!

@Hellnope very common girl name in Baltic countries :)

A name isn’t random just because you haven’t come across them. It’s a bit offensive that names popular in other countries & cultures are considered random!

I've known a few - what is surprising about this name? Its a bit oldfashioned, but very well established

A boy in my child's sports team is called Cato. I actually think it's very cool, but certainly unusual!

Cleopatra

La Chic
Pericles
Siobhan pronounced ‘Si-o-ban’
