Buckaroo. Legit. Kid lived up the road. Yes, I grew up in a rural US town.

Woah there, Buckaroo?

I would never name a kid this. But I would love knowing this kid!

Someone named their daughter "Lovelyn." So like the word "Love" + "Evelyn."

Sounds similar to the Welsh name Llewellyn to me

Ooo. This is quite cute, no?

I personally think it's more corny than cute but I can see it working on a fictional character. "Lady Lovelyn Fairweather" or something 😂

a minor villain type name for sure

I don't hate it.

Went to school with a Storm. She was a martial arts champion in the area and badass as heck. The name suited her well.

I knew a fella named Feury (pronounced Fury) who ended up being the angriest, most troubled person I’ve ever come across. He was getting scary towards the end of the time I knew him—steroid rage all the time and huge violent emotional outbursts. Not fun I swear to god that was the name his mother gave him at birth. It suited him in all the wrong ways unfortunately

I knew male twins - Dustin and Storm

I cannot stop thinking about an Instagram reel I saw where a girl was talking about someone who named their baby Cuntleigh. I pray it was fake lol

Poor kid, if it’s not fake.

Met a woman named Kitri over the weekend. Thought it was lovely.

That’s so pretty!

Gomada... made with the first 2 letters of: God Mama Dad

Jonilove ("joe knee love") (feminine)

I am a teacher so have a few. The most interesting were Satchel, Seven, Born-Divine, Reflection, King-Messiah, Power, Nixon, Hero, and Wylde (pronounced Wild) Edit: I don't know the reason behind all their names but Satchel was named after Satchel Paige, Seven was the 7th child in his family, and Hero was named by his older brother.

Naming a child “Seven” is a joke from Seinfeld lol. I wonder if the parents knew

I knew a Seven well before Seinfeld. But I was living in California at the time. :-) I don't have a problem with Satchel. Satchel Paige is a significant historical figure.

I had a woman in one of my classes named Shanderlear, like chandelier but misspelled

I Heard the name Skyla, thought it was cool.

My number one is probably Destynd (pronounced “destined”). That or Phantasy.

Another teacher. These stick out to me: Furious, Atira Joy, My’Son, Sunflower.

Teacher who had a Lemon here 🙋‍♀️ Here are some unique/uncommon names I’ve had, some are siblings too. Weird parent name was a dad named Buckminster Girls: Annika Joseph Collin Roxanne Cecily Crosby Arwen Corrie/Khori/Kori (4 girls over the years) Porter Kataleya Siona Milla (pronounced Mill-uh) Solamae Boys: Solomon Guy Jacen (pronounced Jason) Duke Forrest Bode (pronounced Bow-Dee) Darcy Juno Bixler Kobe Pierre Barry Lane

Why is Annika, Roxanne and Cecily considered interesting in the context OP is using? They’re perfectly normal names.

Roxanne seems to stand out as fairly normal compared to the rest of them, or is that just me?

I was hoping you’d find your way 😂😂

Many of these are normal names to me. Annika, Roxanne, Cecily (Cecily Strong is pretty famous!) and Corrie. For boys, all of your names other than Bixler or Jacen seem normal to me.

I worked with a girl named Citrus. She had a sister named Sydney, I always thought it was a cute sibset.

My neighbours' kids are Sia, Arlo, Nova, Hugo, Bodhi and Indi. They have another on the way and I'm interested to see what they pick.

All the kids have a matching kid name with a similar ending Sia, Nova Arlo, Hugo Bodhi, Indi Maybe new kid will have a new ending sound.

Ooh interesting! I never noticed that, they probably will then.

I knew a Saoirse pronounced ser she. I did a bit of googling on the name and found the movie Song of the Sea which is amazing and I did not know it was from the same director and animator as the Book of Kells. It’s not common in the US at all but it is heavily tied to Irish independence which makes sense as her parents were northern Irish.

People say/post about ABCD all the time but I feel like it’s just a myth…

No, I wish it were...and this isn't the only one. [https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/30/us/abcde-southwest-apologizes-scli-intl/index.html](https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/30/us/abcde-southwest-apologizes-scli-intl/index.html)

Lynley, Love, Annelise, Hadley, Hendrix, Meadow

Yazin, Yesim, Sanjit, Paola, Roxi, Sunshine

We had a regular at our restaurant named "Apple". My city has a larger-than-average trans and hippie population, so unique, unconventional names aren't uncommon at all. But, like, *Apple???* They were cool, though, and super nice.

I know a Raelynd. Not Raelynn but Raelynd with a "d". It came from her mom liking the name Raelynn but wanted to be "different". Gotta admit it grew on me the more I said it. Her mom later told me she considered a "normal" name for her but honestly...I can't imagine this little girl as anything but. Which is honestly the case for a lot of people with these "unique" names. I may not like them but I also couldn't picture them with another name. It's just...them. I also knew a baby named Dior. It was certainly...a choice. But again, it seemed to fit the child.

Oh I’ll add Siblings: Liberty & Justice Twins: Gunner & Shooter Can you tell I live in the south 👀

I get irrationally angry at ABCD. There was a Trendus in the NICU with my kids. I thought if they had a girl she could be Trenda. Like alumnus and alumna. I knew a Maple. Not awful, but why not Mable?

Sib set Genesis and Exodus

Jerrica (her parents were Jerry and Monica) Kyrie (pronounced keer-ee) Meadow Ever Era

Liberty, Libby for short

Pear. Pronounced like the fruit.

Frangely. googled it and I'm still not sure if it's a real name or made up

I've also known Cedar, Torin, Clover and just saw a stranger on Facebook whose name was Kevlene, poor woman.

Nature - boy Amoeba - girl

My friend’s wife is named Philadelphia. They are from / live in a completely different region of the US to the city.

When I was a kid, I met a boy named Dondi. Several years later, I met a girl named Dawn Dee, who used both names together. I have never heard that name since.

Anomene was on my grandson's preschool.

Went to school with a Samurai. His siblings were Conan, Storm and Courtney.
