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?

Its Bastet. But pronounced with a long “a” . Together with Nut 🌰 it would be quite something.

But even a Bastard newt 🦎is quite good

Not a name that was given to a child but I just remembered this....

Just like to make clear that quite a few cocktails had been imbibed. Friend said she had recently heard a name that she loved and if she had a dd she would definitely name her this.....Parenthesis.

Much confusion all round. Was she sure? Lots of hysterical laughter and silly jokes, but no she was adamant. Anyway after much back and forth it turned out she meant Persephone! Still makes me laugh thinking about it and this was donkeys years ago! She named her DD in the Charlotte/Isabel/Olivia sphere in the end, said she couldnt think about Persephone without bursting out laughing so that was never going to happen!

Amythyst-Moonstone is probably the most curious so far….

Amethyst is actually quite cute on a little girl. Not so sure about the Moonstone.

Fox

Divine and Delight. Twins

Dont like Moonstone but amethyst yes, I really do like that. And it could easily be shortened to Amy if preferred.

😐

I’ve met a Precious and Renezmae,
Ryder and an Armani.
Also met a couple Kairo’s recently.

Oh my goodness.

Renesmee was bad enough, also looks like neither Meyer nor Bella cba with an accent so they just added an extra E.

But that spelling? Imagine learning how to write that aged three.

I also know a Precious, Shanel and Renezmae. I was recently delivered food by Julius Caesar on Deliveroo.

I don’t know why and I know there’s probably a cultural reason so this is terribly bad but somehow Julius Caesar is the funniest.

@CeciledeVolangesdeNouveau I think it's very cultural. In my ds's class through nursery and primary school, we met quite a few children named after Greek Gods and Roman Emperors. It was funny with the Deliveroo driver though as DH was asking when our curry was arriving and I said Julius Caesar is delivering it on a bike so it should take a little longer 😅

Siobhan pronounced Sigh o ban ‘we went for the traditional pronunciation’. It was difficult to arrange my face for that one.

A boy called Sonny Beau

maybe its a generational thing - in my day Moss, Stacey, Crystal ( various spellings) Cheyenne were all common.

But older than me, so would now be 80s, 90s maybe? and the generations below me are no familiar with these names

Love these your school was full of amazing names.

In this thread I’ve seen lots of names I would pick if I had more children, two being the names I would have given a girl. I love slightly different things.

Eighmay, pronounced Amy. 🙄

You should stick around. If you met a person truly called this then nothing anyone else says matters.

When my sister was a nurse a couple said they'd chosen a really unusual name for their baby son - Gooee.
Turned out it was spelled Guy but they'd no idea of ths correct pronunciation

My friends daughter is called Charisma. I also know a Lilibelle
