Okay, so I'm all for trying to be original when it comes to naming your kids. It's your kid, it's your choice. HOWEVER, there is a line between what is cool and what is just straight up weird.

The Journal Metro recently released a list of some of the popular baby names in Quebec from 2017 and let me tell you some of them seem too weird to be true. They've been organized into different categories like nature-inspired and movie-inspired so you can see where I'm going with these.
The kids who got stuck with these names are definitely going to be embarrassed during attendance at school and will probably adopt nicknames that they force everyone to call them.
Nothing can beat that time that some parents in New Zealand named their kid "Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii" and then lost custody. Now that's an example for the books. I'm not saying that these names are on that level, just some of them are ridiculous and silly, and I feel bad for them is all.
