Teacher reveals daughter's quirky name - and wants to make sure all her children have a unique moniker

A school teacher has revealed how she found a quirky name for her daughter - and wants to make sure all her children have a unique moniker. April Hamilton, 34, had always been set on naming her two-year-old daughter - Juneau - inspired by the Elliot Page hit movie 'Juno', the capital of Alaska and the Roman Goddess.

She had always felt it was important to give her children unusual names to give them a sense of uniqueness - after growing up not knowing any one else with her name. April and her husband Graeme, 35, work as teachers and know the difficulty of having several children with the same name in their classes so wanted to explore less popular options.

The pair wanted to see how popular the name Juneau was before settling on it. April stumbled upon 'National Record Scotland' which allows expecting parents to see how popular their favourite names are.
