The most unusual name

[Loriycs]

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

yes, i have a Spanish friend called Mercedes and its a usual name over there, but over here it sounds like the the parents are just trying too hard(unless they are spanish of course)

Apparently Spain has very strict laws about what you name your child.

I know a Friday (man) and a Precious (little girl)

Loritycs, friends of my parents have a boy and a girl, Mercedes & Bentley

Really, thats interesting Do you know the restrictions?

Comfort
Gracious
Precious
Perfection
Chastity
Conception

all names of African nurses i have worked with

Chess - for a boy

Pretzl and Lark for a girl. I was hoping somebody round my way would name their daughter Beyonce for the 'hee hee' factor, but, so far, not one.
I work in a university and we have a number of African students with names like Justice or Temperance.

Storm and Harmony

I taught a - Mitzi
(after their dog maybe?!)

and someone I know recently called their son - Lake

Happy [an African nurse at my mum's care home]

Well it isn't the name of someone I know but I came across it in a magazine where parents were asked to write in if their child had an unusual name.

I doubt I'll ever forget this one, Jackie Chan Ninja Soulblade.

His brother had an equally outlandish name too.

Calico (girl)
Tuscan (boy)

Thor

Beckham- a boy at nursery on my placement. Poor sod.

J'adore- a girl at same nursery.

Gifted.
Precious.
Blessed.
All African Nurses at work.

i met a girl named Walker Walker a few weeks ago

it is very strange to hear someone called by their last name which is their first name

I worked in a pre-school for 3 years and the most "unusual" names were :

Boy : Adonis
Girl : Baybey

There were some close runners up and some fairly run of the mill ones for balance

Fancy calling your son 'Adonis'.
Child cruelty.

My dd met a Ladybird the other day.

It is awful isn't it. Glad it's not just me being a beatch

I know a Trone (boy) and we have taught a Jensen (after the car not the driver) and 2 girls called Fuka and Tosa.

Just remember doing a birthday party for twins called
Tia and Maria

(I used to work at a zoo and one of my jobs was to do the bookings for birthday parties)

Helicopter( boy)met in South Africa

September (girl)

Branston( boy)nickname is of course Pickle

frasersmummy - I know of a Leonor

i know the worst ever. just remembered my friend who runs a playgroup has a girl there called -
Flope (with a french accent on the e, so it is pronounced 'floppy')
