    here's something different

    My husband told me about a girl with this name and I didn't believe him till I saw her in the town paper over a year later.
    Her name is abcde (pronounced ab-se-dee).

    A lot of names are unusual because they come from different countries. Korean brothers- Sangbeom and Jinbeom (San-bum and Jin-bum)
    Japanese girls- Aoi (sounds a bit like Owie) and Ai (Sounds like "I")

    There's a girl at our school from Iceland with such a long name, nobody can remember it but the first letters look like "Hilda" so that's what we call her.

    Also a girl from Indonesia that had a long name that started with "Dasha" so we all called her that.

    In France they have a list of approved names that you must choose from when naming your child. I heard the list is pretty extensive, but still....

    I went to school with an Isa Dick....my husband went to school with Harry Balls. How cruel!

    I used to know a Chinese boy by the name of Ding Dong but his parents wanted an English name- they chose Arthur and he went by Art- it was weird for a 5 year old, though he'll grow into it!
