One of my retared FB friends have a child called Tiger...
I have a mate who calls herself Tiger because her real name is Anita.I quite like it, but that's probably because she's really tidy.
An old boss of mine was telling me how his nephew or some other relative had had a baby and called it:
Reggie-Bo. Wait for the surname, Scott-Hardon.
He is going to get destroyed at school. Poor little Reggie-Bo Scott-Hardon.

I have three nieces; Oestara, Willow and Persephone.
Willow is the only one I'm not going to laugh at when she's older.
Persephone sounds like a brand name for the first non bakelite phones !Willow is the only one I'm not going to laugh at when she's older.
I googled it and she might be a bit scary when older:
Wikipedia said:
In Greek mythology, Persephone is the daughter of Zeus and the harvest goddess Demeter, and is the queen of the underworld. Homer describes her as the formidable, venerable majestic queen of the underworld, who carries into effect the curses of men upon the souls of the dead. Persephone was abducted by Hades, the god-king of the underworld. The myth of her abduction represents her function as the personification of vegetation, which shoots forth in spring and withdraws into the earth after harvest; hence, she is also associated with spring as well as the fertility of vegetation. Similar myths appear in the Orient, in the cults of male gods like Attis, Adonis and Osiris,[2] and in Minoan Crete.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PersephoneA more "normal" version is Melinda. Either way, shes queen of the underworld so don't annoy her
Oestara or Ostara is another name for Easter, but was also a German goddess. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%92ostre
So, unusual but they at least have some sort of history to them (Unlike Rooney/Moon Unit and whatever other rubbish people come up with).
I think that names from other ethnicities (sp?) are fine - Jamal/LaToyah/Trayvon or whatever are no different to James/Lucy/Trevor etc, its just we can be a little ignorant at times.

And the boss wax called Ivor Hardy and his partner Ivor Bigun who's cousin was called Pat Macgroin!!! I quite like it, but that's probably because she's really tidy.
