Very strange names for children

I've just seen that a couple in Australia have named their new daughter Kviiilyn as they don't like the traditional spelling of Caitlin. What have they condemned that poor child to? Guarantee that most people will call her K-vill-yn. The parents think that this spelling makes her unique!

Is it five letters? (Must have missed that).
Fed up now
Henny Penny?
If it's not one of these I give in (don't like giving in)

I'm losing the will to live. I can't think of any more five letter names beginning with H. Please tell us.

Not Hermione as that has been mentioned (we have one of those!)

I like the name Heidi too - because people have heard of it......but that is not my name

We have a Heidi living next door to us. I like the name.

Hepzibah is a lovely name
One of my gg aunts was Hepzibah, not sure I like it

Helia? Hadrea? Halcyone? Horatia? Hebe?

Sorry is they've been mentioned before

I met someone last year in NZ whose little girls were called Peace and Harmony; she said they had had none since the girls had been born!

My two Anglo Chinese grand-daughters have Chinese names of ' London bus' and' Lucky buddha' When I asked their mother why on earth saddle them with these titles she explained that the Chinese version was the closest in sound to the pronunciation of their English names.... to aid Chinese friends in their pronunciation

The girls aren't particularly impressed

If it's Hilda then that's okay because it's me! grin
I once saw a child's name on a list of prizewinners on a school wall. "Halo". I still know if it was male or female. confused

I worked with a woman called Misery ... She was South African and her mother named her thus because she had caused her nothing but misery. Another coworker was Memory.
