What is the most unusual name you know that someone has named their child?  

I know some chaps who gave their babies weird dutch names such as:

beer ( which translates as bear)
lieve ( lovely)


How on earth do people come up with such weird names.

There are more examples though but I can't find much atm.

Well, here in India, the most amusing name I've heard of, was

"GUNDA" . It means "A criminal" in English!!
Lol, what makes them keep such funny names??!!

My friend has a son, a lovely boy, always smiling when he sees someone touching and greeting him. I was shocked when my friend told me what he had named his son ! "Puppy" ! I felt that was too too absurd ! He said he named his son that name because he loved him so so much !!!

I think Apple and Scout are really cute names...on pets, maybe. But Rumor and Dark are kind of wierd. I don't personally know anyone who's named their kid some out of the ordinary, though.

its actually a nickname... i have one. by father called me "nene" since birth. it means little girl. it is stuck with me and now that i am adult, i am still called nene even by my brothers and sisters. lol

Well I find baby names nowadays really weird. Here in the Philippines, baby names are usually combined to their parents names which mostly turns out to be funny when heard and kind of absurd. I prefer elegant girl names like princes and princesses names like Margarette, Harold, Richard, Diana.. simple ones but very classy.. =D usually parents want their baby's names to be unique and I pity that the babies will suffer it in the end.

The most weird name I heard was named after a fast food chain here in the Philippines. His name was "Jollibee" hahaha! Really funny. Another was named after a brand name of kitchenware "La Germania" because according to their parents it sounds foreign and unique.. Hahah..

My aunt teaches kindergarten and during one of our family get-togethers she told us about these two twin boys she had in her class named Orangejello and Lemonjello (or-ON-gel-o and le-MON-gel-o).

I have known many very odd names. I named my own children a little differently too. I wanted them to have names all their own but not so odd they would be teased. I named one girl Kimber and the other Jessa. They are not real weird but they are different. I have a friend who has kind of odd names for her children. Her first son is Aries and her other is Ever. Her daughter is named Anna-Marie Lyric. I think that's kind of pretty.

i think i have heard about so many strange names before, i have heard about people naming their children Jesus, some named their children Judas while some named their children satan, i always try to find out the motive behind such names but people say there is nothing in a name actually, it all depends on how deep people take the belief that names may change the characters of a person

Hello PeacefulWmn9, I'm don't know any baby's name but i cam across funny adult's name. I was working with a Financial Cooperative which deals with nealy 5000 people. I've been there about a year and this guy walked in requested he would like to withdraw all his investment and close his account. So, i requested for his ID to check his account number and amount of investment he made. I almost burst out when I read his name 'China Tire'!!!

3 days later, another chap walked in to patial-withdraw and his ID read 'Underwear'! I can still laugh out loud when I think about it! Poor guys, parent's mistake and they stick with that Life-Long!! I agree with you.
