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?

I think practically all of the names in my DDs class would be unusual on this board as we're in Tokyo .
But my DH's (Japanese) colleague called his 2 sons Snow and Usa (pronounced Uh-sa, but looks like U.S.A., so cool, right?
Tiger (or Taiga) is a really popular boys name here btw. There is one who sits next to my dd at nursery and he is the devil incarnate

Tia, Scarlet and Ellis are most definitely NOT unusual!

I know a Taiga too! In London. He is V cute. It's such a cool name but I am not japanese so it would be tres wanky to use it, I think.

My Ds is too small for school ATM but my Mum, Sister and Best Friend all work in schools.

Friend was relating the strangest names from her school the other day...they have a girl called Blessed and boys named Hope, Miracle and Godlove!!

It is a CofE school but they seem a little extreme to me!

Also Tiger (I like it), Sugar Ray, Honeysha.
