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?

Because you know the name of every child in the UK? Get a grip. You vouldnt possibly know that and there is much more likelyhood that there is someone called it than not. 🤦‍♀️

That became quite popular where I live in a certain area of town. Its Heaven backwards 🤣

@ConsistentlyElectrifiedElves did Zinzan have a brother called Tiger? DD2 had friends from school called Zinzan and Tiger (also Birdie, Sunray and Moonbeam).

I knew someone called Velocity. RAF Dad. She was forever saying, no, not Felicity…

Twins called River and Hudson 🤦🏻‍♀️

Choir boy with lots of brothers?

Nevaeh is heaven spelled backwards

I actually think Nevaeh is a really beautiful name, I think it’s so hated on mumsnet on account of being ‘chavvy’ rather than the actual sound of the name

I have only ever met one Nevaeh and she was a darling little girl.

I'm no saying it's not an urban legend and have never met one but this site says the ONS doesn't list names when only one or two are given the name.

@greenmarsupial I agree...

There's a few names on here that just won't come up on dark greener.

I have a few…
Diamond Ferrari
Dachian (pronounced day-she-un)
siblings called Ocean and Breeze
Grateful
Siblings called Blessed and Success
Teddie Courage

There's an estate agent in the Midlands whose name always makes me chuckle and wonder if they live up to it - Doolittle and Dalley

Blessman
Kaison (because they couldn't choose between Kai and Tyson)

Totally true and very well known in a certain town in England. The man's name is easily verified as he was in the courts I lot I think ...

@Anothenamechange I knew an October! She went by Toby.

There was a girl in the year above me at secondary school.
Iona Hoare!
Why???

Fonzi (there are 2 in the town I live in!)

Zillionaire (actually really suited him!)

I know a Nevaeh.

Hello WhatHo!
You’re right

I always liked the name Pacey after the character in Dawson Creek but wasn’t brave enough to use it.

I like the name Beau. First heard it from the Netflix sit com with Ashton Kutcher

Tiny or Tinie is a common nickname for Martinus and Martina in the Netherlands (bit old fashioned so it's mostly people over 60). Hardly anyone goes by the full name. It's pronounced somewhere between teeny and tinny.

I was taught there by a Ms Willy - equally common for men and women. A former PM is called Wim Kok, and there's a famous detective (TV/book series) called De Cock. Amusingly they changed that to De Kock for the English translation.

In Dutch, Bill means bum cheek, Dick means fat 🤷🏻‍♀️ think that makes things equal!

@New2024 yep that's the one!

I watched a documentary and the man was called Pistol! I've known two brothers called Precious and Fabulous. A girl at my primary school called Friendly and a little girl named Hen.

I had a mouse at school called Biscuit 😆
