Celebrate Your Individuality on Unique Names Day

When you think about it, names are funny things. You’re not born with one like other aspects of yourself that make you who are. Our skin and hair colour are given to us from our ancestors, but it’s our name that truly determines who we are, and that’s simply made up on our behalf by our parents. It’s quite a responsibility really naming a child. Of course if you pick something truly terrible, then when they’re older they can change it, but for the most part, people stick with whatever name they’ve been given. So what route do you go down when you’re naming a child? Do you pick something ordinary so they don’t stand out from the crowd, to reduce the chances of being picked on for having an unusual name, or do you go the whole hog and give them a unique name that hopefully will perfectly suit their personality when they grow up? Will the name you give them shape their life in any way? Will Serendipity Skybelle grow up to be more artistic, creative and quirky than if you’d named her Claire Rachel? 

If you have a unique name, how do you feel about it? Does it make you feel special, knowing you’re not one of the ten Robs in your workplace, or have you suffered for your name all through your life? Do people chuckle when you tell them your name is Peregrine, or do you have to spell your name out over the phone every time you have to give it because it’s so complicated?

Embrace your unique day today

Well today is Unique Names Day, it’s your day, a day to celebrate all those names that are a little out of the ordinary. A day to be proud that your parents called you Winkle Flufflekins. It’s what makes you special!

There’s one real advantage of having an unusual name, and that’s the fact that if you’d like a private plate with your name on, chances are you’ll pay less for it than if you had an ordinary common name. The cost of a plate rises with demand, and there will be plenty of Bobs and Sues who want to snap up all the BOB and SUE plates. But there will be less people called Boe or Sky so you’ll find the prices tend to be cheaper for BOE and SKY plates.
