The most unique or unusual name you've heard?

[TaRhLi.]

Traveller so does that mean if she uses correct grammer then her name would be Le Hyphen A.

My nieces name is Anderson, but she is called Andie. Have never heard that as a girls name before, but it suits her to a tee.

I was looked after a kid called Rogan Josh, named after the melbourne cup winner. Parents were so chuffed with themselves (they were very horsey). Weren't so pleased when it was pointed out that the horse was actually named after a popular indian curry! I think they wanted to change it afterwards. Proves research can save a bit of embarrassment later.

Oh and never call your child meleana, or every medical person they meet for the rest of their lives will be having a quiet chuckle. I had one and every single person how saw it gave a snicker. Very sad.

Then of course there is Nevaeh that is becoming way to trendy these days.

hmmm, didn't think i was using a "trendy" name!


i have seen and heard a lot of unusual names both through mum doing FDC and with work. probably the one that sticks out as most unusual (but which grew on me) was a friend who gave her DD the middle name Telequa. they'd been playing with the alphabet magnets on the fridge and come up with the word and decided to use it.

My DD's name is far from common but it suits her - even with the trendy bit thrown in the middle!

Some distant family member on FB has kids named Schacobii and Ray-mee Lee

I have a friend called Eowyn, which I think is beautiful, her brother named her (he was 8 at the time and in the middle of reading LOTR)
My old boss' name was Tarlei, my new boss's name is Shahana (Indian name which I absolutely love) and one of my colleagues was Fenella.
My brother gave his DD the middle name Benares (after Varinasi in India) which is pretty out there!

BG, my dh wanted to name dd Neveah. I love it, and i haven't heard it anywhere but your dd's name and from my dh.

I do believe there is a BB named Melina, which i always thought sounded quite pretty, medical terminology aside.

Another BB member has an unusual spelling for her dd's old fashioned name which is just absolutley gorgeous- I love the way it looks written down (Maz, I'm talking to you!).

Yes. My name is Melina and I have been teased and sniggered at, even though its a different spelling its pronounced the same. Meh - whatever floats their boat I suppose

No offence meant. Medical people have wierd senses of humour.

No offence taken. I didn't come up with the name, so the insult isn't against me - its against my mother
