Naming a fresh new human is a pretty daunting task.
You want to be original, sure. But then you need to think of questions like: Will this moniker get my kid teased on the playground? Are people going to spell this name incorrectly? Is it tricky to pronounce? Etc. Etc.
And while we’re not here to judge anyone on the choices they make when naming their kids (unless you’ve called your kid Darth Vader or something, then we one hundred per cent judge you) there are some, er, interesting choices that have made into the Australian registry. There’s no denying that.
The team at Kidspot have made a list of the weirdest names to surface in 2018 and before you ask, no, True didn’t make the list:
1. Leetiana
2. Crash
Like, Bandicoot?
3. Dwarren
4. Shanice
5. Jakmason
6. Moxxi
7. Tycen
8. Yza-Bella
9. Aeric
10. Daylla
11. Freezia
12. Gwinia
13. Harrianna
Oh, yep. Like that celebrity, Harrianna Hrande?
14. Kaveah
15. Badell
16. Barat
17. Trigger
Surely it’s not a good sign if you see your child as a Trigger.
18. Wizdom
19. Xavjah
Think this is meant to be pronounced like Xavier…
20. Xzayvian
