[Loriycs]

What is the most unusual name you've come across recently?

Chilli-Pepper (girl)

Buddy

Met a Geronimo (boy) once.

Knew a Boudicca and her brother Caractacus when growing up.

And heard of an Rmarni (yes, spelt like that!) recently.

Jubilee - was hoping she was calling on a dog! But no a little girl came round the corner!

Envi for a girl.

Came across a Hobson last week.

My sister had an Alora at her kindergarden.

Fattipuff, I knew that family! At least I knew Caracticus but not his sister.

Hedgehog (boy)
clinique (girl)
Knew a JJ (girl) years ago.

I have known children named

Iona and Lorelle (girls)

Sunny and Zane (boys)

I went to school with a girl called Squirrel. I've also heard tell of a Skeletor MacGregor wandering around Glasgow somewhere, but it may be an urban myth.

My mate's SIL has taught a Truly-Scrumptious

There was a Pocahontas born in Dundee at the time I had DD

There was a boy at my school called, wait for it:

SueMunch How unimaginative!

I met a boy called Athos years ago

Zebedee

And I went to school with a girl called Javre (pronounced, pseudo French style, Shav-ray)

Best ever name was my PA's when I worked in Greece - she went by the very Bond Girl name of Aphrodite Lovely. Aphrodite is a really common name there and she married an American man, Mr Lovely.

Makes some of the "odd" names I wanted when pg seem quite normal! DH wouldn't let me use Aurora.

I know some oddly named children, but I love the names that people give themselves. I used to work with a few girls from China, they were students over here and they had their Chinese name and an English, which was either a translation or something they'd named themselves, so I worked with a Cherry, Butterful and Linda

I used to have to email a girl overseas at work called Princess (when I was pg I did mention this name to him as potential girl name, he didn't answer me!)

My boss at work is from South Africa and she says that in Africa the people often have their Afrian name and another name which are words they have heard in English, hence the Beloved, Loved, Gifted etc (which I think are lovely)

oh my at claret, l'oreal, velvet!!

marcedes and zeki are actually not that unsual and are proper names.

Zia is an asian name, for boys. i think there was a a president Zia once.

also Zane is a real name!!

i've known:

lilac

comfort

rainbow

lovely

I once met a greek girl, who's name sounded like 'sister-fucker' in hindi. it was hard to keep a straight face when she introduced herself.

I think my next one may be Stopit or Getbackhereoryouwillbesorry or Cutitout or Putthatbackwhereyoufoundit. I call my son these on a daily basis.

Twins. One was called Gianni and the other twin called Versace.

Twins. One was called Gianni and the other twin called Versace.

Apparantly NO children have been registered as GERTRUDE in the last few years - so that would be one of the most unusual you could call your child no.

If you really wanted 'unusual' that badly.

i worked with a gertrude about 2 years ago.
oh and i met a baby called maude last year.

i suppose traditional names are unusual now.
