I grew up in a really diverse area, so a lot of my friends have very unique names.
Girls: Mhayrene (my-REEN), Afua, Phatcharat (pot-trot), Arda, Ayanna, Emel, Lena, Marion, Luna, Mina, Nuelsi
Boys: Anastas (he goes by Stas), Obed, Ange, Jibril, Lorenzo, Marcello
i was thinking exactly the same thing!
Well, I lived overseas for 13 years, so I knew a lot of people with non-American names. I guess the weirdest were:
Rebel (girl)
Yan-Ivar (boy)
Phillippa
Marlowe
Sari
Anders
Jacinta
Annika
Lars
Females: Twinkle and Sparkle (sisters not twins), Cherish, Rowlayiah
Male: Baquarian
I teach in the inner-city. These names are from white students, African-American students, and students who were both. I have had these in the past three years.
Diamond
Emerald
Khadarriyah
Ke'Darea
Donye, DeVante, and DiOnte (brothers)
LaFerris
LaKenya
Chandani
Avion
Women: Urania (Rania for short), Vena, Wandra, Brystana, Nettina, Hellie.
Men: Sterling, Zion, Koda, Augustine, Atticus.
Sha'Diamonde Nevaeh and De'Lexxus Heaven.
Twins born to one of the biggest white trash idiots I've ever met. When she talks about them, she says their full name (i.e. first and middle).
Male: Ore (pro or-AY) Skardy, Purity, Einstien(no not the inventor), Anointed, David David( fn:David--last name- David), Sun, Rosen,
Amblessed (am-bless-ed), Miracle, Divine and Chidara(sisters to Anointed), Lace, Tuesdee-Leigh, Summer Breeze, Lemon(pro- lay-mawn) Denim-Trishell, Genesis
I have heard many many other weird names but they escape me at the moment
My husband is a teacher in an inner-city school district and has told me about these students:
Le-a (pronounced "Ledasha")
Typhane (pronounced "Tiffany")
Shithead (pronounced "Shi theed")
Male: Orangejello (O-ran-juh-low) and Lemonjello (La-mon-juh-low). Yes, they were brothers.
Female: La-ia (La-dash-ia) and Khyna (China-like the country)
Female: Dagney, Seraphina, Cleveland, Spike (yes really), Noava, Conamore, Meadow, Morning Star, Thalia, Teagan, Kyle
Male: Niall, Taza, Kermit, Arlo, Teal
... I could go on and on. I grew up around hippies and then went to a hippie college.
But they really saw them! With their own eyes! No seriously!
OMG! ?But I KNOW Lemmonjello! ?My sister's cousin's best friend's uncle is a teacher!?

There are some crazy people out there!
I went to boarding school and there were a lot of students with unique names, for some reason:
Degas (DAY-jus), Nova, Astrid, Kasia (rhymes with Sasha), Tansy, and Weatherly spring to mind for girls. We had a Zoe, Katrina and a Chloe, too. Those were unusual at the time
Garth and Asi for guys. Reid was also unusual ten years ago.
In elementary school I knew two cousins named Francesca.
Recently, we've seen kids named: Tessa (or Cessa? I always forget which - she's a neighbor and I hear her name, but have never seen it). Ayla, London, Jaycee, and Nikko. Girl Boy Girl Boy, respectively.
I have an adult student named Precious. My sister's new roommate is named Annika - she's 27.
Can I just say that I have heard the urban legend names TWICE in the past month? I just got my class list and was telling my parents about some of the names (all fairly normal this year) and my own father
told me about a recent client named Le-a. I wanted to scream at him, but how do you say that to your dad? And then today I went into school and was talking with a fellow teacher (comparing names on our lists) and she told me about her sister, a nurse, who has had patients named "Le-a" and "Orangejello" (whose brother was Cherryjello). AGH!!!!
