    In the last couple of months I have friends that have had baby boys and have called them:

    D j a n g o - pronounced 'jang-go'

    Z e b u l o n

    Pretty unusual but it is growing on me
    Zebulon is the name of a place in North Carolina in the US, I worked there for a bit, I did think sounded like a sci-fi name but thought it was quite cool for a place (the place got its name from a company name apparently) had never thought of it as a persons name though.

    Ok, I've got a few doozies!

    Coming from a love of video games, I was chuffed when I met a Mario, a Luigi and a Yoshi and I have also met, yes, a Zelda before too!
    These are names of people I worked with :
    (as above)
    Yonas
    Rinaldi (pronounced Rin-al-dee)
    Borey (pronounced Bore-aye)
    Zuzanna
    Hasreta
    Dana (Although it's not 'unusual' I really don't know many at all!)
    Hui
    Ives (But she goes by Ivy)
    Jovelita
    Kiri (her middle name is Aroha)
    Kristoffer
    Mun
    Nene
    Niti
    Phyo (pronounced Pi-yo)
    Rizwan
    Roslyn
    Severa (Goes by Vera)

    Other names I know
    Isis (I'd love this to be my DDs name, but I know DH wouldn't go for it - Maybe I could try for middle name??)
    Nefer
    Cleo (I'm used to hearing it for a pet )
    Indra
    Storm, Rainee and Summer were all sisters I knew - yet the boys got names like 'Joshua'

    Ones my DH comes across at work are :
    Tuahuahuru
    Chjahniquare (pronounced Shan-ek-wah)
    Reegan
    Mariquare (pronounced Mar-ek-wah)
    He's come across some more - but he's too tired to think so I'll ask him later
