unusual name


Explanation:
There is very little information on this word, which actually does not even exist.

"
Jongensnaam: Blaise

Heet jij Blaise , of wil je jouw toekomstige kroost wellicht Blaise noemen? Hoeveel sterren (welk cijfer) geef je de naam Blaise ? Is Blaise zo’n toffe naam dat eigenlijk gewoon iedereen Blaise zou moet heten, of word je juist wel eens gepest om de jongensnaam Blaise ? Korten mensen jouw naam weleens af omdat het leuker of makkelijker is? Hoe ben je aan de naam Blaise gekomen en heeft de naam Blaise verder nog een speciale betekenis (voor jou)? Laat het hieronder weten in een reactie."

I would go for "strange name" or "unusual name"in this case.

neutral  Lianne van de Ven: I don't think that makes sense. Why would you call it "unusual" name when it is in fact an existing name? PS: I am fairly sure it is related to the Blaise software, since both the phrase and my link in the discussion refer to CBS.

neutral  Kitty Brussaard: I agree with Lianne that this term most likely refers to an answer category name as used in the Blaise survey software developed by Statistics Netherlands (CBS). See also http://blaise.com/.
