hubbys sister n law is called amanda but when she was born her hair was like candy floss so her nan called her Kandie it stuck and when she married my brother in law they said Amanda in her vows everyone thought he got it wrong

My daughters name is STEPHANIE ANNE WOODHALL but for some reason she could never say it right she would say STEPHANIE ANNE NOODLE and to this day she still says her name is NOODLE, we have tried to correct her many times and people have a chuckle we have to always correct her, when out and people ask her name we have to follow and tell them that her name is STEPHANIE ANNE WOODHALL not NOODLE. My eldest sons name is KEEGAN and people always say TEAGAN. My other sons name is LAUCHLAN THOMAS. Nellie

My gggrandparents,Edward and Emily had Edward,Emma,Eli,Ezra,Ellen,Esau and Albert.My spelling is not up to much either.

I knew a family with girls called Porche, Mercedes and Ferrari! Do you think they like cars?!

My sister has two girls called Storm and Skye. Did we argue about those names...lol.. Lindy;-)

My husaband also works with a man named Jack Russel!!!

There are a lot of names I think are weird and wonderful but I'm loathe to put them on here in case they offend a parent who has called their pride and joy one of them!! A friend has called her boys Levi and Reo (they didn't realise the place was spelt Rio) and she thinks I'm weird for calling my bub George Henry. One person's idea of a lovely, tasteful name is often another's idea of child torture. xx

I looked up Paula yates kids on ancestry under Geldof with mothers name Yates. The 3rd one is actually registered at 'Little Pixie Geldof'

My nephew is called Marcus... officially, Though he gets his name shorted..elongated..turned around.. and upside down. He gets called... Marne Marnie Marjory margarine.. to name just a few, and there all by his dad.. lol My eight week old son is called Rhys Andrew.. I wonder what some bright spark will create from Rhys in years to come. .. i wait with bated breath. :-) Andy BSc MEng BSDA

A famous author called Zane was born a long time ago- 'Zane Grey, the greatest storyteller of the American West, was born in Zanesville, Ohio, on January 31, 1872.' I suspect that Zayne is spelt like it is through the similarity to Wayne.

When my husband was made redundant, the lady who spoke to him in the job centre was called Miss D.I.G STONES!

an asian guy at work called his son adam not unusual I hear you say till u put it with his surname ADAM HUSSAIN Paul

my three are named Natalia,mason and Logan.... nat gets called brat by my two boys,mason has always been macey-moo and logan is logie-bear. nellie i wanted to call mason.. Keegan but hubby hated it and said he'd call him KEVIN...also wanted Ria for nat but hubby said she'd get rear end at school so that put me off!! I had a bladder problem so my mum mothered me loads and called me Tinkerbell so brother called me stinkersmell(so cruel)................xx

One of my sisters has Silver May and Delta Storm. Another sister has Boen. A couple I knew from way back had Clara-Angelique. She would only answer to the whole thing.

The good thing about odd names is that they stand out in censuses! nell

That's true Nell! Like my G grandfather Charles Raffel TIVERS. My grandmother used to say they won him in a raffle! Still it makes him stand out from all the other Charles! Sue xx

I knew a couple of kids when I did work experience at nursery, Gauge and Blue, and a friend from scholl called one of hers Jordanne, (not sure if spelt right)

Just as odd as the names people choose are the combinations that make up the initials. Next week I am going to the christening of my stepniece's baby. When she was born last year they told me she would be called Jessica Ann - her surname begins with F. When I pointed out that her initials would be JAF they didn't seem to have realised but said oh that doesn't matter. Well it might not matter now but what about when the child comes home from school crying cos she's been called JAFFA CAKE OR JAFFA ORANGE? Doesn't take a lot of thought to add another name to change the word, ie using the mum's name or a grandparent's name after the Ann.

Another funny combination of names was that of my GP - now retired. His name was MILES FERRARI - I used to wonder if his middle names were PER HOUR!

Elizabeth - one of my relations is a GP She's kept her maiden name so she is Dr. BJ Batty!!!
