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

Mor-iss is how they pronounce Maurice in England. Perfectly legitimate.

Middle name of "Straubarie". Ugh.

Godswill for a boy (i.e. God's Will)
King-David for a boy
Trygod for a girl (i.e. Try God)

I feel sorry for all of these kids.

They'll probably grow up to be atheists.

I think it would be awesome if there were a family with both an Amandine and a Marzipan. Somebody who is expecting twins should get on that, stat.

In my Lamaze class there were parents who were planning to name their boy Noel - in July.

When I was in kindergarten there was a girl named Queenie. I was so jealous!

Chitti

Except that the "ch" sound is pronounced with a slight slurring, almost an "sh" sound...

Why don't you just let us know who you are so that the rest of us in University Park can stop including you and your children in activities. I'd much rather hang out with the parents of these kids with "out there names" than someone who starts a thread like this and takes so little care to disguise their community.

"Straubarie" poster here. Meant to add that her first name is Scarlit.

If I were OP, I'd move. How can you take these parents seriously with these names?

Lucien, where the devil are you lad?

Birch, drink your root beer, son!

Winter, why so bundled up? It's spring, dear! Put away your parka and put on some shorts!

No, sweetie, that Infinity is not our car. We drive a Subaru.

I can't imagine why you're the only Hadassah in your class, honey! or in your school, for that matter!

What?! Who said it was a tragedy that we named you Seneca?

That's a bit redundant, no?

Is she a redhead?

Frankly, I don't give a damn.

Very common. Knew a Jihad in grad school. He did say after 9/11 flying became not so fun!

I like these names. We joked we should name our kid Patience, hoping that she'd actually have some. We are lacking in that department.

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.

Hopefully, the children "blessed" with these names will be born tolerant and forgiving, as they'll most likely endure pain and suffering from others!

Well, aren't you a charmer?

So, people should all name their kid's only top 20 names to avoid being teased? Ridiculous.
