Earlier this year Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden announced the arrival of their baby daughter Raddix, and with that, discussion of some of the more unconventional celeb baby names (the likes of Gravity, Rocket, Apple, Pilot Inspektor and Stormi) came back up for public discussion.
But for many non-celebrities, choosing a more unorthodox name for their child or children has always been a priority – along with the usual elements like finding something that suits them and, of course, a name that’s actually agreed upon by both parents (often a challenge in itself.)
Brace yourself: Reddit reveal the worst baby names they’ve ever heard. Post continues below.
Mamamia asked six parents how they chose their kids’ unique baby names and the story behind them.

I love when parents give their kids a terrible name and then say "he never meets anyone else with his name!", like that proves it's actually a fantastic name. They never seem to consider that perhaps no one else is naming their kid after a kind of cabbage because it's actually a pretty silly idea.
But these names are so unique! So edgy! All those boring people with boring names just don't get it.
I read your comment aloud to my son Bok-Choy Drumhead - he was devastated.
Hahahahaha!
If someone says your kid's name is unique they mean bogan, embarrassing or ridiculous, possibly all three.
Meanwhile Pre -10-Ouse is standing over in there in the corner - wondering, what am I chopped liver?
Ta-ia pronounced tadashia. Yep you pronounce the dash. Wish this wasn't true.
