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

[Loriycs]

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 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

[FranSanDisco]

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'.
