I have just peeped on Mumsnet and there is a mum asking for suggestions for a name for her 2nd child, her first being called Brekken. What do you think about such unusual names? Personally I think they are a bit of a burden to a child and we went for more conventional names.

But maybe you all have unusual names for your children - or do your GC?

meandashy I know which name you mean as DD had chosen it if she had a girl (but he was a boy) smile

I have an Australian friend with a very nice name similar to my DD's - not at all unusual but hers was pronounced in a German way. When she started school the teacher said she couldn't pronounce it and called her something else which seems to have stuck all her life.
I hope it wouldn't happen these days!

I think we should do the same as the French and have a name book if the name is not in the book then the child cannot be called it. A child in my granddaughters class is named 'Next' I wonder why??
