Have you heard any weird, unusual or uncommon names for babys....

FH's cousins name is Jadaine (her mom and dads name combined)... and If I have a girl I'm calling her Alistin (my name and FH's name combined)....

Please share... If you want to...

Our ds is named Keaghan - which I didn't think was weird or uncommon - but we have lots of negative feedback on his name so I guess that makes it weird!!! Our next baby will be named Quinn - boy or girl...but, again, I don't think that is too different either.

Ailish, my middle name is Quinn, but it's spelled Cuinn because there's no Q in the gaelic alphabet. I don't use the name, I go by Erica, but I do have a ring with Cuinn on it, and people are always confused by the C.

Had I been a boy, my name would have been Kain Aidan (or Aiden, can't remember).

We won't be giving our child a strange name. I'm not personally a big fan of spelling common names in a 'different' way. There was a girl in my class names Sarah, but it was spelled Cera. It lead to TONS of confusion on the part of our teachers (but in this case, I'm not too sure why). We'll name our children names that work in both German and English, so that neither family has to struggle with the pronounciation.

My cousin named her son Drayden, and it took them a long time to decide on a spelling. They toyed with Drédon, etc... but figured it would pose too many problems in school.

I actually like a lot of Geilic names, which are spelled very differently from the way they're pronounced, and if we choose one for our child, we won't anglosize the spelling, we'll leave it in its original form.

I like taking common names and changing the spelling. I know it confuses people, but my name is Crystal and sooo many people get it wrong! My daughter is Molli, not Molly. We also were thinking of Emma-Leigh.

You can call me 'Mommy Dearest'!!
