    Heather72 - I love the name Tess! It is on my favourites list

    Lady Zaidie - I have a different 'Karen' too - my middle name is Caron - but I think I like Caryn better!

    freya - thats exactly what I thought too. She's not that old, so you're right her mum would have had to sign the forms.
    I taught a Shayla and an Asha aswell that I thought were pretty and unusual names.

    My real life name is Trilby-Roux - I've heard of other Trilbys (Trilbies? Lol) but never met one, and I never expect to meet a Trilby-Roux (It is said TRILbee-Roo)

    Hmmm unique names... my cousins have fairly odd names - Vasiliki and Evgenia - but they're Greek so not really unusual... although the boy next door's name was Nectar, which is a bit bizarre even for Greeks.

    A few others I've heard:

    Keadynn (Kee-den)
    Tannith (nickname Tanni, girl)
    Teylor (unusual spelling of Taylor, girl)
    Rainer (boy)
    Bodhi (pron. Bodie)
    Qaiss (pron. "case", boy)
    Kiki (girl, pron. "kicky", not "key-key")

    One of my best friends is Tess, I love her name...

    Ok, there are some really good ones if you go cross cultural. For example in Spanish:
    Africa
    Valeria...both quite common, apparently.

    Also Rochayne - which is Roisin in Irish.

    oh dear

    I love the name Aisling, so pretty. My grandmother's names are Audrey and Tess if we ever have a girl I'd love to incorporate them both in there somewhere.

    I once tutored a Maela and a Jale (Ja-lay), they were such sweet little girls and with gorgeous names to boot!

    I know a Meewah (dutch name), a Petrea, a Beyonce (she's about 6, so cute!), a guy called Bear (he was so un-bearlike), an Amelinda. Most unusual name I've heard - Newspaper. But that was in Hong Kong, I think it was just an english name he liked the sound of.

    I once taught a D'Weazel!! And his twin brother was called D'Razcal!! Right here in Perth, of recent years too. I almost died! Behind every lovely child is a parent..... Each to their own, but that is cruel isn't it?
    SAJEK, ATM I like Logan, Xambri, Indra (all names suggested on BB :/) and have always liked Makeira Pearl for our next DD (?), BUT I heard another name of a movie and thought it was awesome......Apollo (Sun god).
    I once knew a girl named Staum.
    Hope you catch that special name soon!
