What's in a name? If you're a mom, a lot of deliberation -- and love. Whether you enjoy traditional names for your children or have opted for something a bit more unique, we want to hear about the most unusual names you've encountered. From interesting to outrageous, what names have stuck in your mind?


Your responses may be used in an upcoming iVillage feature on baby names.

I agree that names should be spellable and pronounceable. My name is Merideth and I have spent my life having my name misspelled. The creative spellings just seem to get worse every year. Please try to imagine that your child may one day want to be a professional and imagine the name you give them on top of a resume. I have interviewed hundreds of people, but it is really hard to take a person seriously if she is named Bunny or Princess. Also, adding a bunch of extra vowels to your kids name does not make it unique--just a burden to your child and everyone who tries to spell it down the line.

I taught a girl whose cousin's name was Random (boy). I took me a while to figure out why she was writing about a Random boy in her journal.

My mother teaches a boy named Cinnamon, for a girl, it might not be so bad, but, a boy? Yikes. When that kid gets to high school, he's in trouble!

while not weird, my mothers name is quite uncommon, Davilyn, a feminized version of David. We have only ever heard of one other person with this name, the person she was named after (a family friend). I think it is a beautiful name.

I taught at a school with a boy named Soda Pop. No joke.
