Unique names..

I was thinking, after reading Val's thread, do you know anyone or do you yourself have a different name? Or, maybe you have a normal name, spelled in a unique way..?

If so, share with us! I know a lot of people who have unique names, and I was interested in hearing ( reading ) some more...

Family

1. Barrett - brother
2. Dallas - brother
3. Nevada - cousin
4. Aubre *pronounced Awb-re* - cousin
5. Julia - cousin
6. Harrison - cousin
7. Corbin - cousin

Friends

1. Allaura
2. Kylie
3. Briar (as in like, a briar bush)
4. Thorn
5. Sabina *pronounce Saw-bee-naw*
6. Ridge
7. Stone
8. Steele
9. Benji
10. Hunsa *sp?* *pronounced Hun-saw*
11. Sira *sp?*

and many, many more... :p

lol... there's a kid in my science class named 'Rock'

Everyone says my cousins have weird names. I guess the most unique of my cousins' names would be Dax, Shelsea, Tye, D'nae (Dih-nay), Carson, and Cailin. My name is Jordan -- you don't find too many girls my age named Jordan. Most of them are quite young as it's only recently become popular. My brother's name is Dawson. Jynnelle's name is spelled quite different. Whenever I see someone with the same name, it's always Janelle or Jynelle.

That's about it...

I don't think my name is unique (Audrey) but you don't see it a lot. It's a lot more popular now it seems though.

My family's names are all Latvian..
My name, Diana, is pronounced Dee-aw-na, NOT like die-anna...
My sister's name is Lilija (pronounced like Lilia).
My mom's name is Dace (dats-eh.)
My dad's name is Guntis (goont-ees).
My brother's name is Rolands.

My cousin and grandmother have the same name: Skaidrite (sky- dree-teh).
Everyone just calls my cousin Skai though... (sky)

I could keep going with Latvian names but I think I'll stop there... :p

Edit:
I'll just list some of my other cousins and relatives:
Ivars (ee-vars)
Aldis
Andris
Arnis
Liana (lee-aw-na)
Vilis
Gio
Vigeo
Marite (maw-ree-teh)
Aija (eye-ya)
Inese (ee-neh-seh)

I know I'm forgetting a few... :X

My name (Tonya) isn't unusual, but I've only met a couple in my life.

My old boss was named Rowdy.

A friend named her daughter Lyric Maizey.

And that's all I can think of for now :p

My nephew has a very strange name:

Zander d'Anconia ??????

Zander from the character in "Buffy the vampire slayer" and d'Anconia from a character in the "Three Musketeers"

His sister's is Brynn Lasair (La Sar--almost Sarah minus the ah)

My name is Liberty.......I feel its unique.

I think I told this story once, but I use to work for social services and a woman came in that spoke very little english. When we asked her, her childs name she looked around and found a sign on the wall. She turned to me and said "my child, Gonorrhea" (hope thats spelled right)

Thats her name on record now.....Gonorrhea!!!

Goodness... my family has normal names, but some of the ones hubby's students?
Lehomey (La home-ie)
Dalimarus (dolly mare iss)
Iessa
Chevy ('chewey' like gum)
dijon (dee john)
Jarrin
Storey
Ciera (see err a)
Zahira (Za hear a)
Cesar
Yazmin
Adella

I oculd go on and on!

My name is Kari, and although the name isn't unique the spelling isn't as common as Carrie or Kerry. (except around here I am one of 3 (I think) people and 1 rabbit named Kari with that spelling.) Outside of PT I can only think of 1 person I've met who spells it that way.


Mirra (Mirr-a)- my cousins baby girl
Hawley- a girl I met through work
Shrade- my vets grandson
Alika- (al-ick-a)- my vets daughter
Cade- my friends son ( love that name)
Tiara- (Tea-rr-a) a girl I went to school with

I know there are more, but I can't think of any right now.

My great-grandmother's name was Zelsie (probably not spelled right)

One of my good friend's name is Astrid.

I have a great Aunt Medrith (not Meredith)
