Unusual Names.

I was thinking of some unusual names that parents select for their children.
Here are three names that I recall.
Rimmel: Named after Cosmetics ?.
Jagger : Named after Mick ?.
Cleopatra: Named after a queen of Egypt ?.

The third name, Cleopatra,can you imagine the old tenements in Glasgow and the mother leaning out the window shouting," Cleopatra hurry up here ",

"Yur Mince Is Gettin Cauld Hen" !..

Can you recall any unusual Names.

 

This made me giggle, I have primary school aged as well as secondary school aged children. Standing in the playground is hilarious with the names being called out. My two eldest talk about their friends and sometimes I have to ask them 3 times to repeat themselves because I think I've misunderstood their friends names

 

Good thread this

I know a young couple who have named their eldest daughter Winter.Not too bad calling her name at that time of the year but imagine shouting out her name on the hottest day of the year,must get some strange looks

 

Hi Fat Controller. The name Senga was quite a well used name in Glasgow when I lived there.
I think it originated from an Auntie Agnes who had been on the Eldorado Wine..

 

My bruv is called Alaric, I believe it's a German name. Quite an unusual name, but can you believe there's another Alaric in the area with the same surname!

Kevs cousin has a child called IKEA!!! I mean honestly why would you call a child that?

 

Easy to feed perhaps? All meat balls and hot dogs?
Or maybe just a small child? (space saving?)

 

Oh my, this has got me laughing out loud! My second born came in tonight talking about a new friend, yet again I asked and asked ( am I going deaf?) it turns out he's called Aston !
( obviously apologies to anyone with a child called Aston )

 

Can't believe it, Aston is a girl!why am I surprised, ,my son attracts them like flies anyway just shows how we can't pre-judge these names

 

Just as long as her surname isn't Martin, she will be fine
