Weird Names That Still Shock | Leeds News

from Leeds News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Genealogists uncover wild, unforgettable names from history—Frankenstein Pitt, a woman with twenty-six names, and a 1980s birth certificate listing Buzz, Fly, Pineapple, Pedigree, Abbot, Whoopsie, and Bun. These aren’t relics of the past; some of these kids are still alive today, making the names even more jaw-dropping. While Victorian oddities are expected, modern parents still choose the bizarre, proving unusual names are nothing new. But in places like Norway, authorities can actually veto names they deem inappropriate—even if parents have good reasons.
