This is insane.

You think hollywood celebs have peculiar choices for baby names?
How would you like to have been named "Biological Human Object"?

... I might name my next pet something along those lines though.

However, the Russian names are somewhat tame compared to New Zealand, where last year a family court judge made a nine-year-old girl a ward of the court in order to change her name from Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii.

Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii?

These crazy parents would probably be denied at an animal shelter, but they are allowed to reproduce human beings. Nuts! Actually, some of these names sound like the pedigree names of dogs you hear at dog shows.

It is child abuse to name your child something so stupid that they will have a lifetime of ridicule.

When I was in hospital after having my first baby - (Emma, after Emma Hamilton), the other new mums and I were comparing names.

There was a Dylan, and I had a dog called Dylan, but the other Mum had a dog called Emma, so that was fair enough. But then we asked the lady in the corner bed, 'Tammy', she said, was they name they had chosen for the baby girl.

'Oooh, that's nice', we all agreed. 'What is your surname?', we asked. 'Knobbs' was reply.

Everything went very quiet.
