Unusual Names (another name thread)

I knew a Primrose Lillicrap.

And a Robert Sole (R Sole)

Both are sadly true.

Oh good **rubs hands together**, I love these...

Am I allowed to use names of children I used to teach?

There was Chase, Chance, Phuc and Champayne (yes, that's right, it was spelt wrong). Not all in the same class though.

Oh and a Paric (also spelt wrong, and her mum admitted it was because she told the registrar the wrong spelling).

I'd say my name was pretty unusual, for a girl anyway.

I agree. Marvin is no name for a girl.

I know an Echo.

You cant say that and not tell?!

Dont tell everyone. Dont you know this site is google(able)!!

My nephew is Jaime.

I went to school with a Dimple.

I worked with a girl called Fiona Friend.

Dimple.. oh dear

I'm guessing number names will soon be in vogue

I was at school with a girl called Storm.

I used to know a Phoenix.

We had a wedding a while back where the bride's surname was Hore.. bet she couldn't wait to get rid.. can't imagine loving any man enough to take on that surname!

I am related (FML) to a 'Blade'.

At my sons school there is a Tyger, and in town the other day I heard a mother calling out for her child "Oakley"

Amazing!

I once had to enrol a young man named Mr Bum Suk into university. I wasn't allowed to laugh. He was fresh from Vietnam and I thought about telling him that maybe he should consider changing his name, but decided that I might be overstepping the boundaries!

ETA: One of my tutors at uni was called Dr Frisbee Sheffield. She was an absolute legend, lovely lady. She said her parents were hippies.

I know Fenella Fudge (from BBC Radio) from Uni

My step son is called Blaise, which is quite unusual, and my youngest son is called Jacobey. Not many people have heard of that, and a few have even asked me if I made it up...

Jacoby is on our boy list too. Good choice

There is a baseball player for the Boston Red Sox (quite a good player too) called Jacoby Ellsbury http://espn.go.com/mlb/player/_/id/28637/jacoby-ellsbury

He's also the lead singer of Papa Roach

This is where I first heard it, about 10 years ago. I didn't name my son in honour of him though, i'm not really a fan. When I call my son Jacob, people then think I named him that because of Twilight...

My eldest is called Casey, and people think I named him after Casey Chaos from "Amen".

Why do eople think names have to be "after" somebody or something, gah!!!

Excatly, it's annoying. My cousin is 8 months pregnant and thinking of baby names. She had Harper on her list but no coz of the Beckhams she has taken it off as everyone would have thought she copied them. She also likes Bella and again some might think its because of Twilight, which its not.

Well when I was young I knew a Valentine, I always thought it was a ridiculous name. Especially as she was no sweetheart!

Then I can remember a Peter Peters. Obviously the product of imaginative parents. Another one that springs to mind is Mrs Nutter! Who happens to be a Very good friend but just struck out when she got married. She is now the proud mother of a whole bunch of Nutters!

When I worked at Barclays there was a customer called Mr Wan King

I knew a Clowance. And some very unusual names all from one family : Toyota (girl), Tilk (like silk but with a T-girl) Tonteen (girl) and Taz (boy), the parents were called Sarah and John ?

Also there was an Ariel. think that's it

I did a regular corporate job where the lady had a surname of Pine-Coffin. Apparently it comes from the Devon area where there are quitre a few.....

Lets see... OH's nieces best friend is called Storm, I went to school with a Harry Harrison,

One of OH's friends middle names in Briap... his dad started writing his surname before he'd finished writing his middle, but just left it carried on and went to the pub!

Girl I know has just had a baby and announced on Fb that he is to be called Monty.

I've got two classics

Girl is called Enigma and her little brother is called Chaos.

I quite like that name.

MRS C , I wish my name was Fiona Friend, awesome!!!!!!!! i did once meet a guy called Dougie Dance which i thought was the best name ever! i made him show me all bank cards and ID to prove that was his name and he wasnt simply trying to impress!!

I'm not sure yet, I think it's a grower.

Another friend has got a son called Maximus.
