What is the Most Unusual Name You've Ever Heard?

[monetinfebruary]

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?

my dd is oenone

DC's were at school with a girl called October, Toby for short and we know a Faraday (girl).

Princess Kissy.

Like mintyfresh says.

I like Persephone too.

And euphemia, I work with a euphemia but we call her bing.

I really do like Geronimo. Geronimo Jukes has a good ring to it too. Shame I'm never likely to spawn again. Still,

tree

My son is called Skyler. Am well used to this face but we like it .

Sky for a boy is unusual I think, but looks like he is likely to have a girl-Sky in his class at school...

We don't care if you all hate our unusual names

I love Persephone, I was not allowed though

doesn't Alex James have a Geronimo?

Years ago I worked in a bank and came across some very 'interesting' names.

I remember a Jumoke Salami.

Also a girl called 'Unique'. 'Fisling' was another unusual one.

I think Persephone is really pretty as well.

When I taught preschool I had a Blade. Also a Kedrick, both boys. Also I know a Macave (it was the initials of everyone in the family-Mitchell,Anthony, Cathy, Amie, Valerie, and Eric) who mostly goes by Mac or Mackie. Right now I know a Strickher, pronounced Striker.

I think Skyler's nice, Adair!

A boy called Banjo

A girl called Endurance

I know someone who has just called their ds AJ, I daren't ask if it's short for something as I might offend, but I don't think it is eek.

I thought her dd said Adrian at first which I thought was quite reasonable, but no.

Antigone is greek no?

We are contemplating (if we have a DD) calling her Persephone.

I know someone who was going to name her child Wednesday Thirteen. No idea if she did, just really hope she didn't.

I know a 40-something Persephone. And a Charmian.

To the person who said 'Temperance and Justice' I bet they were of African heritage - not that unusual for them, they tend to like names that are taken from virtues.

Most unusual for boys I have met are two brothers called Sol and Jupiter. (They'd be in their late teens now.)

Back in the eighties I met two girls of around 18 called Bo-Bo and Piper.

The worst I've across in the unusual stakes is a girl called Moet. Pronounced Moway. Just wrong on so many levels.

There's a Thor in DS's class. Really suits him!

My friend called her child Midnight Moon - and this is not a joke. The poor thing is a boy, and she gave birth to him at Midnight. She was writing a song to sing at the church hall, which she does sometimes, and since she couldn't think of a name, she looked out the window in hopes that a name will pop into her head, and hey presto, out came Midnight Moon. The sad thing is, she thinks it is the best name ever, and that she is a genius coming up with it .

for the people who said Ribena - i wonder if the name could have been Rubina? its an asian name.

Pebble

My dad is Hunter- he's in his 70s- never met anyone outside the family called that. he's big Hunter and his cousin (still) is wee Hunter.

Not so unusual now, but was quite good fun when there was a gladiator called Hunter- o the teasing he got!

i know two women called temperence so it doesn't seem that unusual
one goes by tempi which is lovely i think.

used to live near a couple who called their dd boogie. bizarre! they appeared normal and sane!!
