    My middle name is Omega, and I am the youngest of 5 girls. No, my oldest sister is not named Alpha. I named my oldest daughter Omega Elizabeth after me and one of my sisters. My youngest daughter is named Ynema Toddy after her paternal grandmother (Ynema) and her daddy (Todd).

    As a teacher in an urban area, I've gotten a lot of interesting names, including:

    Sparkle
    I'Adorher (pronounced "I adore her")
    Thursday
    Droffil-C
    Yamajesty

    And a friend of mine had a student when she was teaching in a really rural area in the south named Sexy Goddess. (Both as her first name...her middle name was Mary. I think that almost makes it worse.)

    My husband's name is also completely one of a kind, but if I wrote it, it would be super easy to google both him and me.

    I've also heard the La-a from about seven different people who all claim to have heard it from someone close to them ("my aunt works at a hospital;" "my brother's a teacher", etc) - I'm pretty sure it's an urban legend first popularized by Rush Limbaugh. Or there are an awful lot of Ladashas out there.

    I'm currently in Philippines where people use a lot of unusual names that is either repeating, doorbell or baby-sounding names like Pot-pot, Ding-dong, Bing-bing, Tin-tin, Din-din, Len-len, Boy, Girlie, Baby, Sunshine, Joy etc.

    By the way my real name is Jaclyn. While its not unique name anymore but it used to be back in the 70's (my parents told me they got it from Jaclyn Smith of the original Charlie's Angels). Also I'm one of the only 2 in our family who doesn't carry a Spanish first name.
    Yep yep. Filipino nick names are the funniest! Lol, my wife's nick name is Len-Len (middle name is Eleanor).

    Oh no, it's for real. It can also be spelled by Le-a. Sad, but true.

    I had a cousin whose real name was Aloma, but she went by Peewee. No joke. Started when she was a baby and stuck throughout her entire life (60-some years!).

    My dad's parents both had the same last name (not related either). The name of the town they grew up in was also their last name (grandfather was related to the man who founded the town). They got married in that town and resided in that town their whole lives. When my dad went off to the navy, and they were doing call, they came to my dad's paperwork and asked, "Who's the idiot that doesn't know where he's from and what his mother's maiden name is?" My dad told us that it took quite some time for them to realize that he wasn't an idiot and wasn't jokester. LOL

    My parents named me Zoe' back when it was still unique. That and I had to be named after someone in my family. I just hate it when people pronounce it as "zo".

    I was a substitute teacher for awhile, and some of the names that stick out for me are La-a (pronounced Ladasha), Abcde (pronounced ab-city), and Omunique (kinda like I'm unique).
