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

I grew up with a Griffin and never thought twice about it.

This pretty much explains it all to me

F. U.

Are there also twins named Burt and Ernie?

I thought I said this earlier, but I don't think it posted. There is a little girl in my son's music class named Melrose. I never think of the tree, I just think of Melrose Park and it's horrible. There are a bunch of either odd or hard to live up to names in that class (like Moses).

I think Moses is an awesome name. Not my son's name, but I would use it on a second child.

Oh, I like it, it's just some really big shoes to fill. Like naming your kid Maximus or Zeus.

My first love from high school named his kid Moses King. Love the name. His family mostly called him "Moe." Yes, it is a big name, but his father was a big man - in a lot of ways.

Sometimes it just suits.

(And I will admit that I love it because when we were teenagers in love discussing names for our kids, I said I would name my son King. I didn't, but he sorta did. He is gone now because of brain cancer, but I still admire him in so many ways.)

I saw a little kid on the metro in DC with uber-hip-wannabe-parents --- and the kid's name was Linus. I felt sorry for him.

Linus is a Swedish name
The maker of Linux is Linus

Your friend is a liar, spreading urban legends, or you are.

VII- pronounced Seven. I was FB friends with the mom and had to drop her bc her rants about "Why do people keep calling my daughter Vee?" got annoying.

Alyzabyth. Yep. Her brother's name is Peytyn.

Just because you have never worked with a demographic that uses "creative" names does not mean that they do not exist. My best friend taught a Shithead (in Kindergarten no less when the children's names were all over the classroom) and I have taught twins that were named after sexually transmitted diseases.
