It is an undeniable fact that in many instances, your life may prove to be more difficult if your parents bless you with a more 'creative' name. There are exceptions to this rule, though, and one big one is if you happen to live in the state of Utah. It's practically a requirement in the beehive state to have a moniker that will be kept well away from any of those 'top 100 baby names' lists. It has to be said that the results are truly something to behold when it comes to asserting a person's individuality.

This was recently underlined in an amusing Twitter thread, which shared some names of kids who had competed in a Utah children's rodeo recently. It's fair to say that people were impressed by the variety on display. One thing about having unique name: you can often feel the need to live up to it.
