I have a VERY unusual name. In fact its so unusual that if I told you and you googled it the only thing that would come up would be my Facebook profile (I tried it......so as I may need to post incognito one day I can't tell you.

Anyway despite not being paricularly thrilled with my name when I was a teenager, I love it now and would love to name forthcoming DC's with something unusual.

What are the most unusual names you have heard of for both sexes???

I have a very usual name indeed, which I don't mind because it's quite pretty.

But I have taught a:

Harley D
Bircan
Boudicca

and also all the Geldof lasses.

Is that wierd enough for you? Imagine doing the register ...
