An old friend in the US has named her baby daughter McCaa. The only reason I know it's a girl is because her middle name is Laura!

Kipchogey. Seriously. American, of course. And a boy's name, in case you were wondering.

A friend taught a wee girl called Sian, pronounced Cyan. The mum was very cross that my friend called her Sian (normal person's pn) when she first met her - at that point she'd only seen it written down - "It's not Sian it's Cyan"

I'm waiting for the inevitable event of someone claiming to know an orangejello and lemonjello.

Omega - overheard in the general scrum in Woolies before it closed down. Kid was about 8 - I wondered if she was named after the car or the fish oil...

FAQinglovely · 26/03/2009 22:40

derkins - she was probably named before the dad went to have the snip ie "the last one"

Pil's neighbour is called Ochre.

There is an Attila at our school. He is Turkish. Perhaps the name doesn't have quite the same connotations in Turkey?

I knew a girl called Lasaraiona (Lass-o-reeena). It's an Irish name.
I also know an American boy called Manny - at least that's what I thought it was. It's written Man-E (wtf??)
