Teacher reveals 'unforgettable' names parents have given children in her class

One of the biggest decisions parents are faced with is what to name their newborn.

While some stick with traditional names and many opt for ones that have been in the family, others want a unique moniker for their kids.

This has seen a trend on TikTok, with users asking people to share the most unusual names they've encountered.

And one teacher has left people stunned after revealing the names of three kids who have been in her class, reports the Mirror.

User @Ttcskrb says: "So, I am a teacher and during my pre-service placements I've heard some pretty unique children's names that they've had in class.

"These three that I'm about to say are the most unique and most unforgettable names, erm, ever."

The teacher claimed that, in one class, she taught twin boys whose names were Orangejello and Yellowjello, which were "pretty funny".

Though, it was the third name that grabbed the attention as it took some people a while to work it out.

The teacher continued: "The next one was a little girl, her name was spelled out 'H-i-j-k-m-n-o' and her name...was Noelle."

The clip has racked up more than 2.8 million views and 8,800 comments as one user explained for those who missed it: "I just got the Noelle name. It's spelled Hijkmno but the letter L is missing. So it's pronounced Noelle because there's no L."

Others said the name was "lowkey smart" and one commented: "I want to become a barista just so I can spell Noelle's name 'Hijkmno' now."

Elsewhere others shared their own unforgettable name encounters, with one user saying: "I went to school with a Justin Case" and a second added they had known a "Paige Turner".

"My husband knew people with the last name Leer. They named their daughter Crystal Shanda", added another.

And someone else added: "I wrote happy birthday on a cake for a girl named L-A and I asked how it was pronounced...Ladasha."
