Just for fun...Unusual Names

I tried to name my kids with less then common ones..so will reveal them here..

Oldest = Jarrett (not after Keith Jarrett just sayin')

Middle = Colin after my HS friend who was a class clown

Shorty = Graeme as both me and Ex Mr Beelady each had AMAZING friends both with this name.

But I have to say I have met one person with the most unusual first name I have ever come across....I met him some years ago when I bought produce at the farm stand...He worked at the org I do now...

We have him come in and do handyman work now and then...I don't think anything of it now but his name did have me stop when I first met him those years ago..

He is 4... The number 4. Makes it hard to have a FB profile!!!

What names of folks you know have a story or are out of the ordinary?

I have an Aidan Nathaniel, which means "fiery gift of God" in a mix of Irish and Hebrew! The name fits quite well.

Niece's daughter...

Autumn, not sure how or why.

There’s also a town in N Y State named Number Four.

Maybe I shouldn't laugh. It sounds kind of dystopian.

His 4th birthday must have been a hoot.

Seriously, I wonder if his parents named him that. It's very unusual.

How do they deal with various computer systems and databases not accepting a number in a name field? On his Social Security card, tax returns, driver’s license, passport ... how is “4” handled?

My wife spoke of a relative who had a number of children but named the last one Sky...as in ‘Sky’s the limit.”

I used to work with a guy named Tappan.

The joke was that he was conceived on a cooktop.

Kerri I have a nephew named Jarrett. He was named after Keith (my brother plays jazz)

No one else on earth has my name. Makes it hard to hide online.

I work with someone named Neona.

Others were a woman who was named Kevin. She said her Dad wanted a boy and was damned if he was going to pick a girls name.

Another that took me a bit to the aha moment was a young woman in Honduras. Her name is Inri...the letters over Jesus's head on the cross.
