    A work colleague named her first born Steel though I am unsure if thats how she spelt it. She is expecting again in the next few weeks.

    I like some of the weird names because they are so different but wouldn't chose them myself iykwim.

    I know a Steele who would be in his 20s. He also has a brother Reed
    My Aunty has a coworker who named their bub Storm, which I like.

    There is a boy who used to go to playgroup with DS1 names Seagrass. I thought that one was a little more unusual

    A friend of DH's recently had a baby and called him Jaggar. Not completely out there, but not my cup of tea. DD goes to kindy with a Trojan too, he is lovely little boy but everytime I think of his name I think of condoms!! Poor kid. DS also had a little girl called Miracle in his class last year. Again, not a name I would choose but it did suit her and is quite a pretty name.

    What's with the 'poor kid' comments? Perhaps they'll be worse off in life because they have an unusual name? Not sure I know of any statistics that support that, I know plenty of successful happy people with different names.

    I think there's a fine line between sharing unusual names we've come across and making judgements that go beyond whether you personally like the name or not. I really hope we can stay on the right side of the line.

    That was the first thing that popped into my head too!

    I went to school with a girl named "China"...... she was of Anglosaxon origins and had red hair, had me baffled!
