Strange Names From Century-Old Records | Leicester News
from Leicester News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Discover the wild, weird, and wonderfully human world of baby names through centuries of British records. Fraser and Fraser, a UK firm that’s been archiving birth certificates since 1923, unearth bizarre monikers like “Buzz Pineapple Whoopsie” and “Baby Girl,” proving parents have always been creatively (or wildly) naming their kids. From “Zebra” in 1875 to “Achilles Hamlet Odin” in 1968, these names aren’t just quirky—they cause real-life headaches with passports and bank accounts. Behind every strange name? A real person, a real story. And for over 100 years, Fraser and Fraser have found it endlessly fascinating. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
