among the kids - say 17 & younger, probably the most unusual is a little step-cousin about three months old - a girl, named Trista (I don't even know her middle name)
Everyone in the family thought Delaney & Sienna were both unusual names when they were first born, now those names are pretty mainstream (not top 100, but both in the high 100s)
the little girl Trista also has an older sister, Cheyenne, while not really unheard of, is a little on the unusual side I guess.
We don't really have any unusual ones...hm, my cousin has a (b) Macallum and also a girl whose name I can't remember at the moment. :)
My SIL got involved with a guy who had two daughters, one named Taylor...then when they had their boy, they named him Tyler. I thought that decision was kind of strange, but the names aren't! :)
There are a number of men (yes, men) in my family tree named Fawn, Olive, and Bland; I have a great-aunt named Siddalene (Aunt Siddy), my cousin and his wife recently named their daughter Hadassah- unusual, but beautiful, and my brother and his wife have a daughter named Hero. My husband's family is Irish (his parents still live in Ireland), so there are a lot of unusual names in his tree. His mother's middle name is Eilois (pronounced EYE-leesh), his grandmother is Igrainne (Eh-GRAN-yah), and his sister is Aislinn (AYSH-lin). His father's middle name is Eamon. My husband (John Micah) and I could never have enough children to re-use all of these terrific names!
Ish, not short for anything. Just Ish. Family story says during War of the States he rode a horse named Guinea. Also, Panthina, America and Judge (who wasn't a court official and who rode a mule,name unknown).

I think we're a pretty mild bunch

My great aunt's name was Dorcas, I thought that was pretty funny.

I have never seen anyone, in any nationality, with the same name as my mother....EVER!
