Are unusual names cruel?

Our local member's name in Gary Gray. DD 7 years thinks it's lovely his first name has the same letters as his last name.

I heard a little boys name yesterday that I thought was a tiny bit cruel, first name Steel last name Honey.

I used to have a child at work named Calais - Bogan family, Bogan name.

Poor kids siblings had pretty standard common names.

I'm trying to think of more ...

I'm sure the French are just clamoring to name their babies Goulburn

I'd be more expecting it's after the model of Commodore

I think it's considered a bogan name BECAUSE it's a city in France. Even if the family have any kind of connection to it (doubtful), it's still somehow pretentious and OTT.

Phalicity takes the cake. Phallic Felicity jumps off the page at me. That's awful.

Unusual names aren't cruel unless the parents were doing it to be deliberately mean, but names like Phalicity sure are unintentionally unfortunate.

Glad it wasn't just me who went there!
