She must have been Irish. Not a common name but it pops up on occasion.
First names you find weird, strange 😉

Dork
During my working career I had a customer name Dork Fauntleroy. To me, that was an unusual first name. Now, you are probably not going to believe this but it is true, a few years later I had another new customer, and you guessed it, my new customer contact was another person named Dork Fauntleroy. Different guy no relation to each other. What are the odds?

Yes! or Michael Jackson's child "Blankett"!

In memory of someone who just passed away yesterday... Wink Martindale. Birth name was Winston, though... I like that.
Yup. I think Gwynetth Paltrow's daughter "Apple" is a strange name. It might have been cool is she was called Winesap or MacIntosh, but just Apple is kind of weirdly nondescript.

There was a surgeon in Palm Bay Florida named Dr. Zipper. I prefer stitches myself.

That reminds me, when my dad was in the hospital, he had a doctor named Dr. Pepper. Cute guy.

Celebrities are a constant source of weird names for their kids:
Poppy Honey Rosie, Daisy Boo Pamela, Petal Blossom Rainbow, Buddy Bear Maurice, River Rocket Blue Dallas are the names Jamie Oliver (a British restauranteur) gave his kids.
And don't forget Musk's latest: Techno Mechanicus.
The always-classy Kartrashians/Jenners have come up with a few: North, Saint, Chicago, Psalm and Kulture, to name a few.
Nicholas Cage named his Kal-El, because he loves Superman.
Actor Jason Lee named his son Pilot Inspektor.
From Ashlee Simpson, we have Bronx Mowgli.
I forgot Frank Zappa's other kids: Ahmet and Diva Thin Muffin.
Kate Winslet came up with Bear Blaze.

Kayla is a well known conventional name in Australia - not at all unusual or weird.
I assume is just an extension of Kay - 'la' being very common ending on many girls names, or a westernised version of the Hebrew name Kaela
There are so many different names around now - I don't think a unique name will affect them unless it is something really silly
There was a surgeon in Palm Bay Florida named Dr. Zipper. I prefer stitches myself.
There is a specialist where I live called Dr Kneebone - I so wish he had gone into orthopaedics.
But, no, he is a neuroligist.

The original meaning of Biff was "to strike". So it's probably a kissing cousin to Buster...

How was it pronounced, "Dream-ah" or Dree-AH-ma"?
You'll appreciate this. We named my daughter "Bela" in 1968. I'd known a lady composer by that name and loved it. Later I found out that the feminine form is like your name, "Bella". I should have known better because I was well aware of Bela Lugosi and Bela Bartok. Actually I wanted to name my daughter "Xyla" (as in xylphone), but her mother wouldn't hear of it.

There was one here named Pretty.
I recall seeing the word flash on the screen after Batman pummeled someoneThe original meaning of Biff was "to strike". So it's probably a kissing cousin to Buster...
I wouldn't like my name to be that. I've been on a dating site and instead of using my name a few guys would say "hello pretty". I didn't like it.
Was it Biff or Boff, sometimes spellt Bough as In Johnny English.The original meaning of Biff was "to strike". So it's probably a kissing cousin to Buster...

Nothing really weird about the name, but came across this a few times doing my ancestry search.
The other thing I came across, was the use of Bonaparte or Napoleon as a first name.
Guess my people had a positive view of the famous Emperor or does France owe me some money or land?

I detect a lot of Latin, not necessarily French.
