For fun - what's the oddest name you've heard?

[YesSirICanBoogie]

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!

My favourite, read about once in a music magazine and instantly imprinted on my memory forever, are a brother and sister called Caractacus and Boudicca. They're the children of a distinguished English orchestral conductor. I guess Moon Unit and Dweezil just wouldn't cut it

There is a child at DD's school called Devant, as in French for "in front." Pronounced Dev-ant, no French "Dev-ong."

Desperate to know if he has a sister called Derriere!

I have known a Harley (what were they thinking?)
Kai (makes me think of koi carp)
Mi-Mi (sounds like a small lap dog)

I know, Chardonnay, Destiny and Shakira!!
My friends cousin in Canada has a DD called.........................................DOUGLAS!!

Puffin (a girl). Not wacky spelling or anything, just Puffin.

Dh did once know a Candida Smellie, but it was emphatically pronounced Smilie.

jumpjockey- in some cases eg.Candida Smellie, people really should get their name officially changed! It's just cruel to go through life with a name like that.

Magnar. Polish name meaning- "Strength Warrior". DH insists if we have a boy he'll sneak off to the register office without me and inflict it upon our son!

I know a little girl called Happiness. I actually think it's lovely, luckily whenever I've seen her she's been very bubbly and happy but there are some kids it wouldn't suit!

I met a girl called Diva the other day.

One of dp's sisters has a daughter called Fawn.

DD1 had a Raven Rainbird at her nursery.

I know of two brothers called
Axel and Dragon,

my cousin is Cullum,

my boyfriend has some weird ideas about names, his surname is Mann here are some of his genuine ideas before I put them together with his surname,

Maverick (he was being dead serious about this one!)
Tai

He is now banned from naming our children!!!!

I taught a Pocahontas. Also know a Cash. (boy)

Tyrell
Minni
Ife
Ziennah (sienna)
Azora
DORIS (she is in nursery!!!)

I heard the name Reality being called across a GP surgery in Cardiff a few years ago. The surname was something 'normal' like Williams iirc.

I know a boy called Friday and one called Devante, with an accent over the last e (I can't do them on this keyboard)
Oh, and a girl called Princess

Dd2 has a girl called sprite in her class.

There was a little girl at DD1's nursery called Blessing. She was very sweet - and I guess she'll grow up knowing just how much her parents wanted her!

Oh yes, I also know of a Destiny and a Triumph.

Thinking about it I've come across all sorts of v strange names - it's par for the course where I live in SE London!
