Parents name their child 'Nutella'- what's the most unusual baby name you've heard?

"A recently-born baby named Nutella was renamed by a court in the French city of Valenciennes after a judge ruled that the parents’ decision to the name the child after a food was against the child’s interest"

So, what's the strangest name you've heard for a child?

It's always going to come up in this conversation.
I think you only have to pick up a women's weekly chat magazine to see an array of bizarre names. Coco, Blanket, Satchel, Princess, Apple, Scout, Birdie etc. I feel really sorry for those celeb babies. Good to hear common sense prevailed in your example.

I'm so glad for the French legal system. 'Hashtag' comes to mind but other then that I can't think of anything. Other then maybe the Renault Clio which was almost re-named after two families in the UK complained that their children (called Clio Renault) should suffer abuse due to it, which I entirely understand. Unfortunately they lost the case.

How is that pronounced?

I have a vague idea that a couple wanted to name their child 4real and the courts (Australia?) wouldn't allow it.

I once read a magazine (women's weekly type, something like Best/Bella/Women's Own/Love It) that had a regular column devoted to unusual baby names. People were always writing in with "well, I'm called Bob, and my partner is called Sally, so we called our child Bobbly!"

@, pronounced 'at'. However, they insisted that the written version was the '@' sign, not just 'at'.
I'd name mine "Ramses Niblick the Third Kerplunk Kerplunk, Oops Where's My Thribble"

I quite like this actually. More children should be named after compass points, it's quite lovely. :h:
