Choosing a baby name that everyone is going to LURVE is pretty much impossible.
Regardless of whether you go with something traditional or something trendy, you’re going to be met with a few unwelcome comments.
It’s pretty much expected. And it really doesn’t matter. At the end of the day, it’s your baby and it’s your decision on what name you want to scream at the playground.
As long as the name is legal (which, you may be surprised, many aren’t), then the name is fair game.
On our baby name hunts we’ve discovered a fair few interesting name choices, including Pancake, Abcde and Sheboygan.
But American baby name site, Nameberry has taken it one step further, highlighting their top picks for outrageous baby names of 2017.
If you’re a fan of crazy baby names, then get excited because you’re in for a treat!
