When you become a parent, your entire life changes. Suddenly, you’re responsible for the future of this tiny human being who looks up to you. So, it’s understandable that you want to show your love and pride by picking out a suitable name. However, in their quest for uniqueness, some parents take things way too far.
In an online thread, folks revealed the most bizarre and strange names that they’ve personally seen parents give their kids. Mary Christmas, Moonshine, and Alexxzander are just the tip of the iceberg of confusion, and you’ll find even weirder names below.
Keep in mind that this is all for the sake of humor. Nobody’s making fun of the people who have these names; only the fact that these names sound very odd. That being said, it’s a warning to parents to think about how picking overly unique names will impact their kids’ futures.

I also taught a kid called Chase Danger (danger was his middle name).

I had a student once 16 years ago whose name was Chlamydia. Her mom was a non-native English speaker at the time of birth and she thought the word was so pretty she couldn't be dissuaded. The student went mainly by the nickname "Lydia".

I work with a guy who's name is Crow, sister is Robin, and the other sibling is Wren. Apparently the parents loved birds.

A lady I knew named her daughter Halloumi, because that's what she craved during her pregnancy.

Used to know a dude named Moonshine. Parents were raging alcoholics. Only excuse I can think of for a name like that.

I heard a Mum in a library calling for her son Messiah. That a lot of responsibility to weigh on a child.

I once knew a girl named Mary Christmas.
What were her parents thinking?
ShesGotaChicken2Ride:
Like in Dumb and Dumber? Mary Swanson + Lloyd Christmas = Mary Christmas if they ever got married lol
LaVidaMocha_NZ:
The girl I knew was in her 20s in the mid 80s, so maybe she's the inspiration 😆
