unusual names for children these days:

Sitting here with mouth open, how funny. Poor child, lucky escape

Our German exchange student was called Heika Cockershite

Forgive spelling any German speakers but that is exactly how the poor girl pronounced it.

Oh gillybob!! !!

My DH went to school with a girl called Nancy Bread. When she got older, she became Nan....Bread.

What about a girl called Lorca?

Author of All quiet on the western front was Erich Maria Remarque, I think Mary or Maria crops up quite regularly as a male name.

Having posted earlier on this thread that DD3 has picked a 'corker' of name if her baby (due 3 weeks today!!)is a girl, I managed to worm the boy's name out of her. Please, could you all wish, pray, or do whatever floats your boat, for it to be a boy!! Thank you.

Have taught a Paige Read and a Jade Green.

Kittylester, boy vibes on their way!

Lots please number

kitty I do wish you'd tell us!

There is a chap who works for one of the Local Authorities that was a client called Dylan Champion.

Nothing wrong with that really, but it always made me think half horse, half rabbit.

Phoenix I must confess I had to read it through a couple of times before it "clicked".

I will afterwards if it's a boy,but I have to be pleased if it's a girl

My manager is a medium (if you believe in that sort of thing!) who says it's a boy, so we might be ok. The girl's name is lovely but QUITE unusual and definitely not something that one could yell from the back door!
