Taking to the social media platform and parenting forum Mumsnet, a woman with the username @Poppylizzyrose asked other mums to share the “worst baby names you’ve heard” or the “most ridiculous ones”. Hundreds replied with the most unusual picks with one woman saying she once met a baby girl who was named after a popular drink.
The woman explained that she once met a “Rioja and Chardonnay” and they “were sisters, I’m not joking”.
Another mum said that she had also met a baby with a wine name, “Montana-Chardonnay”, and explained that she was “named after the mother’s favourite wine brand”.
Other mums commented saying that it was a “weird” choice and that sounded “ridiculous”.
Some parents like to name their babies after drinks or famous brands while others opt for food names with one mum admitting she named her daughter Cupcake.
Another one explained that she decided to call her daughter Pumpkin because it “just came up on the flashing name board thingy they have at the doctor’s clinic”.
“A little boy I taught years ago called Raspberry. He was the cutest!” commented a woman with others saying that fruit names are actually quite common.
“Oh yes we do have a Blueberry in our school, I quite like it though,” another forum user opined.
Another mum explained that “there was a Nemo on postnatal with me when I had my son” as well as “a Conan”.
