The most unique or unusual name you've heard?

[lilima]

I lovr the name Aoife. I too didn't know how to pronounce it the first time I saw it, and automatically thought Oy-fee. And thought It was a strange name. Then I hear it pronounced and really liked it.

it was on a reality TV show I was watching on Foxtel, and yes the girl was Irish.

My sister has a friend called Makelti

OMG... I thought we were the only ones with a daughter with that name!!! Considering we sorta made it up too.. LOL
(I'm guessing its pronounced very similar even though spelt differently)

Yeah the actor out of forrest gump (bubba) is mykelti - but he pronounces it michael-t.

So we sorta got it from that, but changed it so the pronounciation was the way that its spelt - and then changed the my to meh cos we didn't want her teased at school (my-kelti, come here MY-kelti.. lol)

Great thread.
I went to school with girls called America and Xochitl.

My grandparents had friends who apparently named their daughter Filizanka (pronounced Fee-lee-shan-kah). The word means teacup in Polish, and apperently these people were on holiday in Poland and really liked the sound of the word...

I'm not sure if its a real name, but I've always liked the sound of Cyan for a girl (like the colour).
