The most unique or unusual name you've heard?

[Amaunet]

I know of a family whose daughters were Australia and Amnesia - I kid you not, the family were a bit...special

[DaintreeDream]

I knew of a little girl once named 'Talaska', I think it is really pretty.

[Dollyroux]

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)

[Alissa]

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...

[sneakysparkle]

OOoh Trilby-Roux - thats awesome!

Alissa - I LOVE the name Qaiss - never heard it before!! Going to add that one to my list now! (not that I need one at the moment lol)

control freak -

[AnyDream]

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.

[DaintreeDream]

Also know a Rochayne - which is Roisin in Irish. Apparently she was like a rock star when she went to Ireland - everyone loved that an Aussie had a totally Irish name (even tho it's spelt differently)

I went to school with a Rochayne - not sure how she spelt it though.

Another name that is on my list is 'Paisley'... I love it!

[~me~]

Inari
Kari
Beilul (baloo)
Alvie
Annika (becoming very popular)

CHARM

i saw it in a magazine

[allycat06]

I know of a boy named Hawkesbury River - no lie.

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!

[Arimeh]

I think Mehkelti is a unique name - never met another one yet!!

[KitFaerie]

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.

[Party-of-five]

my DS goes to school with brothers named Snow and Banjo...i thought they where strange at first and then i meet them and they totally suit their names

[Cocolove]

How about.

Jacoba Jar-Cobah
Peyton Pay-Ton
Acacia A-kaish-ee-a
Braylee

Maleake Mah-Leak
Broden
Taelan Tay-Lan

[NaeNae]

My SIL named her daughter Briley x

[{sarah}]

I went to school with a girl named Adamanda & I thought that was pretty unusual.

My mum also used to do family day care when I as younger & there were three sisters - Joti (pronounced like Jody with a t), Janaki & Mirabai. If you watched Big Brother a few years ago you would have seen Mirabai

[Rowellen]

A m a g n - pronounced am-a-gan - it's grown on me so much I actually like it now.

I might have to come back & post some more tomorrow because I have heaps but my mind is blank ATM.

[nickers]

Leidy (pronounced Lady) never heard if it b4!
DS goes to school with a girl called Storm (and her twin sister is Savannah) the names really suit them.
