The circumstances we get born into may be a game of pure chance, but the name that we end up being given is a deliberate process. While some might think it's boring to opt for the classics or those that happen to be in the top 20 that year, it can save a kid a lot of hassle further down the line. Nobody's ever been bullied for having the name Louise.
This isn't to say that prospective parents should shy away from 'unique' names. Variety is the spice of life, after all. However, there's a fine line between having an interesting moniker that you can grow to be proud of, and something that you cringe at internally whenever you have to fill out a form. Many of the examples found by @bizarre_names fall into the latter category, but who knows? Maybe their owners are perfectly happy with them. It's hard to believe that some of these exist, but howmanyofme.com seems to think differently.
