Ooooh and I do love the name Denver for a boy, speaking of American cities!
I used to know a guy called Drayton. Not so unusual until you find out his last name is also Drayton. So Drayton Drayton....
Some of the more different ones around here atm are - Yonas, Zenith.... i cant think of the other at the moment hahah ill come back to it.
Friends of friends named their son Makybe as in the racehorse.
Ok, I've got a few doozies!
