A cousin of mine named their daughter Persephone, which had us all talking as it's so unusual.
What are the most unusual names you've ever heard of?

Three boys names Zeus, Rain and Tsar, and yes, the parents had serious delusions of grandeur!

I also know a little girl Ocean with a sister Eden
and a Zephyr

My American friend told me of someone she knew calling their little girl Sh'Purple because it was their favourite colour.. Jerry Springer line up in waiting!!

Actually I also know of two Nevaeh's - spell it backwards for its meaning.

Hawk, Rebel-Angel, October. (not from the same family)

I worked with a lady called Desna.

I believe it is a river in Russia or that part of the world.

I asked her how she got her name and she said get dad chose it as he had an old girlfriend with the same name! Not sure how I'd react if DH said he wanted to name a child after his ex!

LuluF I knew sisters called Scania and Mercedes. You're not from Portsmouth are you?
