Ripples, [name]Liberty[/name], [name]Mercy[/name], [name]Worth[/name], Right
I have a college class with a girl named [name]Mercy[/name].
There’s a new boy at the daycare named [name]Cosmo[/name].
Recently, I had someone ask me if [name]Angel[/name] [name]Starr[/name] was my given name, then said really?! when I said yes. So I guess I have an out there name.
I went to high school in the '00s with an Icel (ICE el) and a Celi ([name]CHAY[/name] lah). Celi’s siblings are [name]Julia[/name] and [name]Nick[/name]. Icel has a brother [name]Zachary[/name]. They thought it was cool that if you take the I in Icel and put it at the end, you get Celi.
My math teacher had a daughter named [name]Zula[/name]- unusual but not terrible.
My old band teacher had a daughter named Hula. Yes. Hula.
I ran into a little boy named [name]Ezra[/name], which is unusual for this area.
As for my name-[name]Athena[/name]- it doesn’t feel so out there for me, but I guess it is a bit wierd!
- [name]Athena[/name]
Chips. Not [name]Chip[/name], mind you - Chips. Plural.
I’m more amused by the names that people find unusual, as opposed to the ones that I think actually are. I’m especially surprised by [name]Ezra[/name]. It’s the example I use of a name that I’ve heard EVERYONE using lately. Same with [name]Solomon[/name]. I know two, so I guess I don’t think it’s that out there.
The most unusual I’ve heard recently was a sibset named [name]Utah[/name], [name]Montana[/name] and [name]Nevada[/name].
I can only think of 2 but wouldn’t say they were that out there
[name]Mason[/name] and [name]Emerson[/name]
Sir. When I was a substitute teacher, there was this kid named Sir, who misbehaved alot. It felt strange when I told him, “Sit down, Sir. Be quiet Sir.” As if Sir, deserved any respect.
My friend’s daughter had a son named Elioth. I also recently met a girl named [name]Winter[/name]. Nothing too far out there. That will prob be from me for the bun-haha.
A friend named her daughter Ellcy [name]Onna[/name]. Never heard of it anywhere. It’s pretty, just really really out there to me.
@hayleysaunt- I’m also from NY, but [name]Salvatore[/name] is not a common name in the part of NY I live in.
I recently met a little girl named Dausyn Elyvya ([name]Olivia[/name])
And my cousin is planning on naming her daugher Ayngel Caprhys.
So glad this thread popped up this morning.
This week I was reading a newspaper on line (Winchester [name]Sun[/name] - a Kentucky paper) and it had a list of honor students for a particular elementary school. One little first grader was named [name]Precious[/name]. Last name - [name]Lord[/name]. That’s right - [name]Precious[/name] [name]Lord[/name].
I’m speechless.
Mendolyn and [name]Dacey[/name]. [name]Both[/name] girls, unrleated.
I have a friend named Trui. He’s male, and it’s prn [name]True[/name].
Oh dear lord no…
[name]Montserrat[/name] is a really common name in Spain. They usually go by Montse (Mon-[name]Say[/name]). I´ve never heard anyone with that name go by their full name, but that´s the norm here (big, long, formal name… [name]Maria[/name] de la Candelaria: little nickname: Yayi)
I met a [name]Cydnie[/name] pronounced [name]Sydney[/name] this morning…I was like Why?
I went to the university with a classmate named Ericila nn Ercy. She was named after a grandmother or great-grandmother. She had to explain everybody how she got her name and how to pronounce it. Everybody called her by her nn. She got an Engineering degree, in case you may want to know. She is by her 30’s now. She is the only person I have ever heard with that name. I remember when I ask my mother about this name, she recalled some old people with this name, she also said it was an old-fashioned name. She told me that was the reason I never heard it before.
yes, some people at the university struggled a lot with this pronounciation, even with her nn.
Out of all of my friends who have recently had babies, two have named their boys with more ‘out there’ names - one is [name]Griffin[/name], the other [name]Phoenix[/name]. Another friend called her daughter [name]Fionnuala[/name] (finn-ula), but she is from an Irish family where everyone has a very Irish name.
