Pebbles and Cobalt
On another site there was a thread about children with the most unusual names you have met. Someone mentioned siblings called Pebbles and Cobalt.
Whilst they didn’t say if the children were boys or girls and I’m not a huge fan of either name I think I would name a girl Pebbles just like the Flintstones and a boy Cobalt. WDYT?

Oh dear lord someone actually named a child Pebbles?
I know The Flintstones is an easy reference, but I'm just as likely to think of L.A. Reid's one-times wife, who went by the stage name Pebbles and had some hits in the late 1980s and was also instrumental in propelling TLC to stardom in the 1990s. (I've always liked this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChvLHqmX27o)
But as a given name? That's horrifying.
Cobalt is only better insofar as it sounds a bit more like a name, I guess, but it's pretty awful too.

The fact that there are at least 2 children in this world named Pebbles is gonna bother me for the rest of my life.
What went through their parents heads?

Nah.
I have a niece named Pebbles. She's like 10 and i've never fully gotten used to it.
Cobalt is ok, but quite harsh sounding.
