S/O What is the most "out there" name you've heard on a child recently?

Amandine is not uncommon in France. I'm guessing the parents are immigrants.
8:12 is right, Octavio/Octavian was big in Rome. The Romans weren't very creative with names, and Octavio would have been the 8th kid (and Quintus would have been the fifth). I like Mercy and Patience, the are old-fashioned but we have recently seen a revival of Sophia, Hannah and Emma, so there's nothing wrong with old fashioned. |

| Lachlan is my son's middle name. Didn't realize it qualified as "out there" alongside Marzipan and Amen! |

| Is Amen from a different ethnic origin? It is a common Muslim name. Pronounced Ay-men. |

I'd say people were making these names up but probably not, people are strange.

| My FB friend (my HS neighborhood best friend's step sister, to be more exact) named her child Khloe. You know, like a Kardashian. BLECH! It isn't completely out there, but I roll my eyes everytime I see it. |

Yeah, Lachlan is a pretty standard Celtic name. Some people are just unfamiliar with foreign names like Amandine and Lachlan. |

Is his best friend named Jenny? Seriously though, I don't see what's wrong with most of the names that 8.37 posted. U-Vox is self evident, but the rest of the list is either popular foreign names, old fashioned names, or I'm-a-bit-of-a-dirty-hippie-so-I'll-call-my-kid-after-some-odd-natural-phenomenon. I almost named my son Rocco, but it didn't sound right with our last name. Mercy's a lovely name and I wish I had a daughter to give it too. |

I'm the PP...I love these names. My little 4 year old cousin is Mercy, and my best friend in college was Patience. If the baby inside me right now is a girl, I will be considering those names. |
