The ridiculous baby names we’re going to hear a lot more of

As 2016 rolls on, we’ve probably all heard a few laughable baby names or two. However, this latest list from the US Baby Center really takes the cake!

According to over 340,000 parents surveyed by the Baby Center, these are the latest and bizarre names parents are choosing for their children.

Whatever happened to traditional names like Charlotte, George or Emma? Do modern parents feel the need to choose different names, just for the sake of being “different”?

The latest names for baby girls include Arantxa, Chichi, Diem and Zowie. Meanwhile, the latest names for baby boys include Abbott (yes, like our former PM!), Blade, Brix and Quest.

How would you feel if your grandchild was given one of these latest (and slightly bizarre) names? Do you prefer traditional boys and girls names?
