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 will never forget Wayne, the name is not unusual but when the family surname is King it is not a good choice.

A family I used to work with had 3 boys called Kyeden -Kale, Kade and Kolby.

I have also had some very pretty Indian (not unusual in Indian culture) girls games in my Rainbow unit but my absolute favourite was Ahona meaning first ray of sun.

Wonder of you were at school either me?

there was a boy called Wayne King and his sister was called Jo

HUH.. should have said " I wonder if you were at school with me"

Chyna Playt
Victoria Station
Scarlet, Amber and Jade (triplets)
Love and Amorè (twins)
Phoenix
Falcon
Leaf
Lake
Cosmic
Sapphire
Dung (Vietnamese child)

A friends new grandson is called Saint.
I hope he never gets into bother as he gets older.

Annisabella is a fantastic name!

@Taxbreaks yes, which is why @Katiesaidthat had the ... dots meaning "and following"

HTH

Hercules
Castro
baby Kevin
baby Jason

And a boy with a very common first and surname- with the middle names 'Elton John'

why are these listed as unusual or strange? I am really bemused now

Some of you must live in a nice white little MC bubble if you think some of these names are 'random'

Hope I'll read on and find out what it is!

One of my best friends in school was called Sonny.... Sonny Day! Seriously!

Oh I know a Bryn I think it's a lovely name.

Elvis is a good strong name.

A FOF is Tamla (after the record label), never come across that before.

There is nothing in that screen shot to suggest the punctuation is pronounced though. Even if it was a hyphen is sometimes called a dash but that contains an apostrophe which isn't called a dash. It's far more likely that it's pronounced Elle Ay (like TJ is Tee Jay) and the apostrophe is to indicate that it's not pronounced La (as in Doh, Ray, Me)

I have not encountered anything very random. I gave encountered some from this thread, Precious, Blessing, Ignatious, Cosmo, but they are not random!

There were 2 wee girls, sisters, in my son's swimming class called Nevaeh and Nirvana though.

I was in a newsagent and heard a man calling his two young sons (about 6). They were called Ronnie and Reggie. Yeah name your sons after brothers who were in charge of the criminal underworld.

From my childhood, Gaive, Heathcliff and Nada, 2 brothers and a sister. All in their 50s now. Crispin, Lucian and Julian, brothers. None that unusual but stood out among the Marks, Andrews and Stevens.
Troy, Julie-nne, Thadra, (not Phaedra) Jonquil and Veryan (my best friend in infants.) Richard Stiff, (what were his parents thinking?) always Rich, never Dick…

More recently
Thor, Field, Storm, Robeye ( pronounced like a Brummy Robbie) Pharrel, Latrell, Zephyr, (love it!) Isis, (lovely name, just bad timing) Honey, Jimihendrix, (all one word)

The only name I have ever encountered which I think might warrant the title random is "baby"

Not irl but in the UK the registered baby names are released up to the point of 3 kids having that name. And for all the years I looked at somewhere right at the end was "baby"
Apparently the paperwork from the hospital confuses a very small number of families each year who register the birth believing that the doctors at the hospital have already chosen the name for their baby.

Names like Precious, Blessing, Admire, Freedom etc are very common in parts of Africa.

Very outing but two children, male and female, whose first names were herbs. Their initials including middle names spelled out the same herbs.

I remember doing youth work in the 00’s in the uk and meeting many a Chanel, Shanel, Chynyl, Chanelle, etc etc

Can’t work this out at all 😂 Anyone else?
