Worst name you have ever come across.

Someone who loved Judge Dread was going to call child Dread. Thankfully was persuaded otherwise.

Very old name that comes from Jewish mythology. Adam's first wife.

Also foremother of Jadis in the Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe.

When my brother and I were arranging our mother's funeral, the man at the undertakers introduced himself as Heathcliff, his first name. His Mum had probably been a Bronte fan.

lol. Sorry. “Past”.

met a little baby Odin

It probably isn't the name you're thinking cos this is really shocking and not recommended in our religion at all anyway.

Also have a child in my daughters class whose name translate to dirty bottom.

They are in Primary school so far. So don't think she's been bullied for it yet. But can imagine in High school she will be.

Obviously cant write down names cos identifying.

I heard a posh lady calling her son and his name was Mungo which surely is a dog name

I knew someone once whose sons were called Ronnie and Reggie.

That was meant to say "We know a song about this" but then the formatting ate the cute comment. 🙄

Reminds me of Gide's Les Faux Monnayeurs. One of the women is called Arnica because her father was a botanist and said he would give his children botanical names. Marguerite etc were called out by his friends as not in the spirit of his intention so the youngest got lumbered with Arnica. Her surname was Peterat, unfortunately (means fart).

No, it's a traditional upper class Scottish name.

I quite like Orianna

My DS plays tennis with a boy called Kingsland.

I met a woman called Gralyn yesterday, named after her grandparents Graham and Lynda - like a house name!

And my exDH once taught a girl called Grosvenor, named after the hotel where she was conceived and pronounced by her parents as "Gross-veenor".

Take your pick!

DSGS wanted to call his child Jesse if a boy. We all know it is a Biblical name and it is male, and he was thinking of Jesse James, of course, but we all in various ways discouraged it. Baby turned out to be a girl, luckily (though he could have called her Jessica?).

Weetabix!

My dd went to college with a lad called Busco. His nickname was ibs. Took me ages to figure it out lol

busco (buscopan) ibs relief

If it begins with A, I have.

I once taught English to some visiting Chinese children here in the UK. They all wanted to choose Western style names for themselves while they were here. I had a Percy and a Mercury among others. Very cute!

Women would. People not so much.

Joscelyn (Jocelyn) is a (French) boy's name - dimunitive can be Josh. I first came across it in a novel by Ronald Welch. Wish I had given it to my son but I named him after another character in a different book. Turns out his name is very common and though I like it I think he would have made a good Joscelyn.
Joscelyn Alexander sounds fantastic. Not sure what is wrong with Augustus, either (diminutive usually Gus).
(Instead, I've used Joscelyn as the name of a wicked but also good - and also beautiful - male character in the space opera I am writing.)

Well I'm a woman and didn't make the link 😁

Just had a memory hit
When I was expecting my DD, many years ago, I had a few names that were questionable, as baby names.

Avimore (I like the flow of the word for some reason)
Adelaide (I decided its old fashioned and a place in Oz

And for DS the following names I liked

Benedict (I don't think that's way Out There though)
Cyrus

No! The person wasn't Irish obviously (I would pronounce them both the same way, as an Irish person, something like 'shawn'). That's worse than the classic John and Sean for brothers.

A bit concerning that she's being walked - like a dog, though

I know of a Kci too. Must be the same one, surely?

I also once met a toddler called Koolio. He must be in his twenties now, wonder what he thinks of his name?

I think you mean Carmel.
