Unusual names please!

[nutgoneflake]

Can you tell me the silliest, the most unusual name or the most old-fashioned you can think of for a boy or a girl? (In fact, it's for a huge toy polar bear in a "guess it and win it" competition raising money for charity and school!) I know I could trawl baby name websites, but this would be more fun. And as it's for a good cause, I thought it'd be good for your Bodies and Souls too....(ed, please take note!)

The first one is WILBUR, just to get you started xx

When i was working in a school there were two girls called Sofiyah and Tallulah which arent that bad but they had a little sister called NIVARNA!! I mean come on who would do that to a child??

[nutgoneflake]

[mistys]

God I wish i hadnt told you now, you cant do that to another child, its so mean!
There was one called Xavier too.

It's not for a child, mistys, don't worry. It's for a polar bear!!

I've come up with Lavinia, Chester, Conrad, Lance and Regina. I used to work with a bloke called Lance, and he was a waste of space, so that's DEFinitely on the list lol!!

I'm liking cazzz's suggestion of Cuthbert myself. But I also like the sound of Penelope Polar Bear.

Let us know what you decide to call it, I'm curious now!

[ummmm]

You will probably think I am telling fibs here but my Grandad was christened 'Chestnut' Funnily enough he goes by his middle name.

[nutgoneflake]

I will keep you all posted! The school fair is on Friday, but I have to choose three names out of fifty and keep them secret from all the little ones buying their 30p ticket for a name. (Three in case we don't sell them all!) It's great fun, and the polar bear is HUGE - bigger than most of the children in fact!!!

I'm glad they gave me this job - it could have been the hot dogs. Not half as much fun lol
