I once knew a young lady named 'Conception'.
Also a 'Cadance', which is quite nice, but i always think "about 90rpm seems to work best"...
And one of my best customers is 'George Washington', but he's in his 70's, and has quite a dramatic signiture.

I once went out with a Candance (Candy).

A friend used to go out with a Candida, which I believe is something your Lady Garden can suffer from.

An old colleague of mine had a child born during quite a severe storm on new year, so named his daughter 'Storm'. Overlooking the more subtle Gayle perhaps

Our little lad is called Kitt. With two t's - "Like the car off Knight Rider"... we just liked it written down.
When we went to register his birth at the registry office, we did ask the registrar what the previous family in had called their child... "Armani Beau Jackson".

There are some quite unusual families I'm Norfolk, as you might imagine. A couple of my favourites from when I was growing up were the King brothers: Joe, Lee and Wayne, and a couple of sisters: Kate and Sydney Pie. A mate of mine used to work with Wayne and always said he was a bit disturbed.

An old school friend called his daughter Amber, as a big Celtic fan he had wanted to call her after the green semi precious stone....
My doctor when I lived in Headingley was called Phillip Iles, girlfriend used to have contact with a lady in the far east who had chose Fanny as her anglicised name for ease of communication. Her surname? Pad.
I've heard this one so often i thought it was an urban myth but doctor friend says she was present at the birth, twins in Lanarkshire called Armani and Versace McClatchy

I knew a Norwegian family in London who changed their name from Conquicavist (?sp) to Conquest and they had a son called Norman.
I taught a nasty piece of work called Zubair and a few right monsters called Beauty. I marked exam papers for a Deepa Mistry, Anil Mistry and a girl called Manmeet. I laughed like a drain.

Thats a point. The term 'hero' has been over-used soo much...how long before its applied to a child as a name?

I remember hearing a (church) minister on Radio Scotland one evening being asked if he'd ever tried to discourage parents from giving their children unusual names. He mentioned that he'd only ever felt the need to do it once, when the parents wanted to call their daughter - "vagina".

My sister works in schools and knows of a family who's kids have some pretty unusual names. I believe one is called Widget Sein Fein. I suspect the chances of finding someone with the same name is rather distant!
