The most unusual name

[Loriycs]

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

[QuintessentialShadows]

Viking for boy
Amarillys for girl

[imaginaryfriend]

Viking?!

[QuintessentialShadows]

Yes, his name was Viking, and boy was he bossy!

[frasersmummy]

peppa???? as in pig

sorry shouldnt judge but surely local registrars should have some level of duty to say .. ehh no !!

[QuintessentialShadows]

my registrar barely raised an eyebrow when I wanted to give my sund El Mundo as middle name (and she was spanish speaking)

[QuintessentialShadows]

sorry, not sund, but SON

[Quattrocento]

Electron

[imaginaryfriend]

Blimey ... I thought Noodle was bad.

Sunday Joy, and this was before Nicol Kidman had her child.

I saw a discussion on another board about a six-year-old girl called Mrkyri-Phox (pron. Mercury Fox) who comes home in tears every night asking for her name to be changed to Sophie.

In due course, I hope she sticks her stupid, egotistical wanker parents in the nastiest retirement home she can find.

[belgo]

Seven for a girl.

[SquiffyHock]

Mercedes-Summer. Wouldn't be two names that I would think to hyphenate!
Puck for a boy.

[Loriycs]

Puck!, now his peers will have fun with that one!

[oopsacoconut]

I know a Starson (boy) and his brother Bloo and sisters Coral and Sky?????? Sky and Coral oaky but Bloo why on earth not just regular old Blue or Blu?

[twentypence]

Triton for a boy, or Savan

Jenayde for a girl

[Loriycs]

coral and sky both names that are very pop with very young mums, along with Amber and such like...

[Loriycs]

I think maybe because they are the type of names used on programmes like neighbours

[belgo]

yes soap operas have a lot to answer for when it comes to influencing the names of a generation.

Alfie springs to mind.

[BINAH]

fedra
bilah

[belgo]

Binah - I think Fedra is another spelling of the flemish girl's name Phaedra

[Loriycs]

eastenders have a baby Janet, any takers?????

[Twinkie1]

Fimbo - do you live in SE London - there was a little boy at DDs old school called Rooney but he was too old to be named after wayne!

Can you magine having a kid then a big offish brute of a man coming along and everyone thinking your child was named after them?

[Loriycs]

you've reminded me, I used to know Finnish girl called Lenita, i always liked her name.

[CoteDAzur]

Mercedes IS a girl's name! The car was named after the daughter of the financier who invested in the car company at the time. ("I'll give you the money but you need to name the cars after my little girl").

If anyone read the book "Count of Monte-Cristo", the guy's lover who marries another man is called "Mercedes".

[belgo]

yes Mercedes might be a girl's name but Mercedes-Summer is incredibly unusual which is what this thread is asking for.

I'm annoyed that there is a car called 'Elise' as it was on my names list.
