I have a son called Cobie which could be a girls name to and my other son is Tavis (never heard of another one of those). My youngest daughter is Meara (M ear rah) it means laughter and my 2nd youngest is Kaylee Inara. Might not be so uncommon but not many that I have heard of.
Some others I like are - Zabina, Asarhia, Tarissa and Anwyn
I like Asarhia. I love the name Azaria, but seeing it like that just has Azaria Chaimberlain (sp?) in my head. I don't see it with the other spelling at all...
Might be another suggestion :)
We named our daughter Harper Jewel. Our next girl will be Makeira Pearl and our son will be Zeppelin Rhys. We thought our names weredifferent but not so 'out there' IYKWIM :)
All I'm going to say, is that I work in family law, and mate, some people need their heads read. The more "out there" the name, the more likely you'll end up as one of my clients...
Breathtaking Cherub of the Dawn to Eternity.
I kid you not.
I'm going to leave now before I go mad.....
I can't believe they allow names like that!! Poor child!:
:yeahthat: I'm assuming they don't actually call the poor kid that! What a mouthful!
WHAT you didnt mention CHina blue chicky :nahnah::
I havent seen another Mateauz Memphis.....yet ;)
KimB i know a Tavis he is about 28 now
I know a little boy Keegan, his a sweet little boy, never heard of that name before i met him.
Met a little boy at swimming lessons called Rudi who has 2 big brothers Sonny and Lincoln.
XP's mates girlfriend just had a DS approx 6 weeks ago called Elwood.
a few other names i've met here and there
* Orlaith
* Suki
* Soleil
and Aria.
yeah i know at least 3 - oldest would be 30ish about now, youngest maybe 7 or 8:
I thought I'd heard some great names being a teacher - but seems I've been sheltered in middle class England all these years! The oddest I've come across is a Reagan which I quite like, but the child was a nightmare!
See it's hard being a teacher you have all these names you can't call a child because it reminds you of a naughty one you once taught!
I personally like
Arabella, Poppy or Niamh.
.....
2 boys names that my 17yr old son came up with (think they are some friends names) are
Haze
Hex
I know a little girl named Priya which I think is gorgeous!
Just to throw a strange name in for good measure.... Bill The Bananaman! I kid you not, this guy legally changed his name and was on the contracts we dealt with (So I knew he wasn't joking!). He had bananas tattooed all over him and a banana earring!
Oh dear... No offense to your friend, but that second one sounds like the villain in a bad sci-fi movie :redface::
Well, obviously Ianto is a strange name ;) and my own (Tenielle) isn't one you hear often, especially with that spelling :) My cousin has a Siobhan (shuh-VON) and a Bodie (boh-dee)
At DS's kindy there are:
-Deizyl
-Lazarous
-Heaven-Leigh
The weirdest name I have come across is a little girl named Ethiopia.
My kids have pretty unique names
They are
DD1-Ruqayah(roo-kay-yah)
DD2- Shayma(shay-ma
DS1-Hamza
They are arabic names but are not even that common in arabic
I heard the name Qaiss mentioned here and its actually arabic for the name romeo,because in arabic romeo and juliet is Qaiss and Layla.
I love unique names it give your child a little something extra...but not the really out there cruel ones
My name is actually a bit unusual - Kiri (Ki-ree). I don't mind my name, more how my parents came up with it - Dad got it from the Beast Master movie cos a girl in was called Kiri and was a bit of a looker! Lol :D
The most unusual name I've heard goes to an American lady I heard calling out to her son in the park, it was pretty funny to hear her calling out "Come here Superman!" Apparently his name was Super, so they nicknamed him Superman
I once taught a D'Weazel!! And his twin brother was called D'Razcal!! Right here in Perth, of recent years too. I almost died! Behind every lovely child is a parent..... :) Each to their own, but that is cruel isn't it?
SAJEK, ATM I like Logan, Xambri, Indra (all names suggested on BB :/) and have always liked Makeira Pearl for our next DD (?), BUT I heard another name of a movie and thought it was awesome......Apollo (Sun god).
I once knew a girl named Staum.
Hope you catch that special name soon!
Dh wanted Apollo for ds
Django I've heard it's a famous persons name I'm sure
I went to school with a Dhonkhan
LOL, someone's been reading Virgina Andrews:
DD#1 started preschool last week and there is a boy named Jembe, pronounced Jem-bay.
Didn't realise I hadn't posted in here earlier!
My girls are Tiera (like Kira but with a T, spelt like the tier of a cake) and Hadley, just hhow it's spelt!
If we had a boy with #1 he would have been Chase, very common now and with #2 it would have been Huxley.
I have a friend with Brecklin and Maddex
Also have known Willa, Jyra (Jhy-rah), Cash, Chance, Scout, Destiny, Willan, Alikhy(Allie-khy), Elakhy (E-la-ky), Tyreece, Tyron.... And the list goes one! :)
There are some lovely 'different' names around these days!
There is a famous NZ opera singer called Kiri Te Kanawa:
My name is actually a bit unusual - Kiri (Ki-ree)
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.:
Ooooh and I do love the name Denver for a boy, speaking of American cities!
Django Reinhardt. I knew I'd heard it it's a famous jazz guitarist.
deleted
^ Interesting...perhaps they really liked Papua New Guinea?
I know of a Dior and Jovelle
Yeah, that's pretty much the only way to get people to say my name right, it always goes "I'm Kiri" "Kerri?" "No Kiri" "Kira?" "No, Kiri, like Kiri Te Kanawa". Very frustrating lol:
I teach a little boy named Jina.I first thought it was a little girl pronounced "Geena" but its a boy pronounced "jyna" I can't believe some parents give their children names like this..Kids are very very cruel at times and to name your son a name that sounds like vagina is unfair. I understand that every parent has a right to name their child what they like but a little consideration doesn't hurt kwim?
There was a little girl at the park the other day called Wednesday....
I knew a Denver in my student years. He'd be in his mid thirties now. I agree lovely name.:
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!

My cousin tried to call her son Justice in NZ and wasnot allowed as it is a title so she used it as a middle name:
My friends Dad asked the Dali Lama for a name for her baby girl he suggested Anunda (they used it as a middle name)
Marek is nice for a boy
One of the girls at mothers group has a daughter called Justice...:
My cousin tried to call her son Justice in NZ and wasnot allowed as it is a title so she used it as a middle name
