It's official; parents are willing to do ANYTHING to ensure their baby has a unique name - but could they be harming their child in the process?
New information from the National Records of Scotland has revealed that, in 2014, two children were named Freedom, twenty-two were named Indie, along with four called Indy (slightly different twist) and one was called Indie-Rose.
Twenty-six girls were called Alba, which is the Gaelic word for Scotland.
And one poor child, in what was presumably a misspelled tribute to Scotland's first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, was called… Spurgeon.
Throw in a Spartacus (as in, that little boy can legitimately grow up and proudly declare "I'M SPARTACUS!" in the playground) and you have a recipe for some very unusual school registers in the not-so-distant future.
It wasn't all patriotic names, however; there was also a Sherlock, Godstreasure, Thirteena-Starr, Hiya, Twinkle, Khaleesi, Khal, T, Bliss, Blossom, Justice, Lullaby, Ocean, Peace, Precious, Princess, Sailor, and Thor.
Yes, Thor. As in the Nordic god of thunder.
Many Scottish parents also opted for names not traditionally used for human beings, choosing unique monikers such as Fox, Lake, Daiquiri, Berry, Apple, London, Rio, Paisley, bear, and Texas for their little one.
But, while these children will clearly grow up to be individual, parenting groups have warned that 'weird names' can be a burden on a child.
Lisa Penney of Bounty, the UK's largest parenting club, said: "Celebrities are renowned for choosing unusual names for their offspring, and today's parents are quick to follow a trend to ensure their baby's name stands out.
"Parents are getting more and more creative… yet mums and dads should bear in mind that a really individual name can be a lot to live up to - if you don't grow up rich or famous."
Another mummy blogger added: "Your kid is going to be the same person whether they’re named Jason, Jayden, or Juice (hey, if Apple could be a name, why not Juice?) But which one will get them teased? Which one will they spend their whole life repeating and re-spelling?
"There’s no reason to raise eyebrows and complicate phone calls with a name just to prove your child is different. Your child will be different just because they are who they are."
What do you think - is it a bad idea to strive for an unusual baby name for your little one? Or do you think it's nice to give them an individual moniker?
