Justice Winlaw - family friend.

The star of the next Ace Attorney game.


Used to work with a little girl named Ebony. White as a ghost. Sadly I have no information on whether she had a sister named Ivory.

This is a list of baby names which the site calls, kindly, 'unusual'.

http://www.babycenter.com/0_unusual-baby-names-of-2012_10375911.bc

I post it here only because 'Fedora' is on the list, for girls.

Gilmore. Joshitha. Shoog. :psyduck:

My friend's middle name is Jazzi. He was named after the dog.

I know a kid who has a long, difficult African name, which is shortened to a pretty great and simple nickname, so that's fine. His surname is Bowels. Pronounced as you'd expect. :smith:

In addition, there is a very nice lady who comes into the store where I work all the time, named Beryl.

Oh you mean the legit and common (if old-fashioned) name?

Gaelic names are amazing. I once met someone called Aoibheann, pronounced Ay-veen. :3:

Working in a daycare, I know a thousand toddlers called Alfie and Isabella. Evie is crazy popular too.

The other that I know is Perpigilian

Is it Perpugilliam? Because that's from 70's Doctor Who. I'm not sure what's better, having that name or having it spelled wrong.

I've seen a lot of bad baby names but my absolute favourite so far is Brocleigh.

Broc-lee.

I still think Sepp Blatter is the worst name out of all the names. Or maybe the best. It sounds like a Hitchhiker's Guide character and I smile every time I see someone mention him.

Nope, it's an uncommon spice; I doubt you'll guess it (unless you go through a list).
I'd post it, but a google search of the two spices brings up an article for the siblings.

Asafoetida.

Old schoolfriend of mine, a very white girl, named her three kids Swailey (boy), Latavia (girl), and Teighan (boy). The last one isn't so bad I guess. I don't know where Swailey came from.



This is the most English thing I've ever seen and I'm English. Biggles, Posie and Tuppence. I'd hope it was real, but Biggles will have a really hard life. :(

And I just now got a file with a guy named Asian.

And his last name is a normal first name, so it's like "Asian John" or "Asian Michael."

I work with a Hungarian lady whose surname is a Hungarian word meaning "Hungarian".

She's Anna Hungarian, the Hungarian.

I'm a preschool teacher and can confirm that while for the last few years the name trend has been [name]-Mae, this year it's Lilly[name] or [name]-Lilly. Two L's.

Got the jackpot with a kid called Lillymae.

Also in my class: Rafferty. And for some reason a bunch of kids called Ethan, which is not a name you expect a small child to have.

It's not just a hipster thing. Names go in cycles. By the time a generation grows up and starts having kids, the folks with what their parents considered old people names have died off. So those names just sound like less common names to the folks actually having kids. The result is that every generation throughout history hates the names given to "kids these days."

You can actually find rants from any decade you please going back centuries saying the same poo poo that people in this thread say about names now, right down to unique snowflake spellings and people named after fictional characters.

On the other hand I read a thing lately that said 3 out of 4 of my grandparents' names are in danger of dying out in the UK: Maureen, Geoffrey, and Derek. I quite like Geoffrey at least. The 4th is Shirley and I love the idea of a baby named Shirley.

Old people names are going strong among the preschoolers here. Alfie, Archie - never Alfred or Archibald, of course - but Albert, yes. I've worked with a Jonty and a Monty and a Margaret. Arthur. Barney. Mary. A Hazel, an Ivy, and half a dozen Florences. Matilda, Martha, Miriam.

Honestly at this point they either have old people names or weird double hyphenated Kaytlynn names.

Man how are you all not freaking out about this actual Abcde thing?? I keep waiting for a Snopes link that will never come...

It's really surprisingly not uncommon, there was another kid called that in the news a few years ago because her service dog wasn't allowed somewhere, or something like that. Lots of little Abcdes out there for some reason.

An acquaintance recently had a daughter and told me her name was Eritrea. Unusual! I quite like it though.

Until I learned it was spelled Erritreiyer.
