Unusual names at your DCs school

[IheartNY]

Ds has just started pre-school and there are some unusual names there, some I love and some not so keen on, but its interesting to see new names I hadnt heard of/considered before!
I live in a pretty conservative area.

Some are

Harmarnie (girl)
Indiana (girl)
Eden (boy)

What unusual ones have you got?

Anais (girl)
Missy (girl)
Annaleigh (girl)

Yuma (boy)

Jackie for a boy

Anchan

T'habib

Yonatan (not sure about this - argued with ds for ages that it MUST be Jonathan, have yet to see it written down!

All quite interesting and unusual but not TTH (try-too-hard) or anything - just quite nice.

Dizzy - there have been a few footballers (male) here in Scotland called Jackie.

yama I don't follow the footie (although am also in Scotland) and that didn't even occur to me I haven't a leg to stand on considering what my DD3 is called!!

Actually, to me Jackie is a magazine from my childhood. I only know of the footballers as I have brothers.

you and I must be of a similar age

I thought about starting a thread about this! DS2's reception class is mostly composed of what I think of as unusual names. Very ethnicly English families, hardly any non-white faces in the entire school.

For instance, just from reception:

Ordinary names with unusual spellings:
Kristian, Jozef

Unusual but classic names:
Tristan, Trinity, Ava, Zara, Lola.

Unusual in all ways:
Kian, Kai, Keeley, Cole, Zaranne (pronounced "Suh-rahn"), Rio, Alisha (var. spellings).

I def. think there is a trend towards more unusual names.

A boy at my DS playgroup is called Blue (yuk). I heard a man calling his kids in a playground they were Benedict and Prayer (equally yuk). A girl at work has called her baby DS Xander.

DS2 had a girl in his class called Nevaeh (Heaven backwards). Terrible name.

I just thought of the best one!

Boogie. it's not short for anything AFAIK.
