Over the last few days:

1. Ran into a [name_f]Bre[/name_f] (this specific spelling)
2. Learned that my grandma has a childhood friend named [name_f]Olive[/name_f]
3. Sibset [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] and [name_m]Ethan[/name_m] mentioned on the radio
4. Some Walmart employees named: Safarrah, [name_m]Ladarius[/name_m]*, & Vantese

*unsure if it’s [name_m]Ladarius[/name_m] or LaDarius as Walmart name tags are printed in all caps

One of the new little preps at my school is named [name_f]Lainey[/name_f]! I’m assuming it’s a boy, but I’m not totally sure. That’s the second time I’ve heard it!

one of my classmates is a guy called Goodluck. He’s Nigerian.

Goodluck [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] used to be the president of Nigeria (with a wife called [name_f]Patience[/name_f]!), so it must be a rather common name over there!

I myself have spotted quite a lot of unusual names:

[name_f]Anita[/name_f]
[name_f]Marianne[/name_f]
Clel@lia
Teneille
[name_f]Allegra[/name_f]
[name_m]Caio[/name_m]
[name_f]Novella[/name_f]
