Have you ever heard the name Ophelia? No offense but I don’t find that appealing to my ears. Everyone has a name. It is a certain label one gives to either humans, animals, things and places to be able to distinguish one from the other, although sometimes there are people who have pretty much the same names.

Each person has the freedom to give any name they wants. Just like any parent naming their new born baby. And because of this freedom, it is hard to avoid those who would give names that are really unique, hence, weird. But everybody should keep in mind that the tag name ‘weird’ is only an opinion, and not a fact. The list below shows some of the weird names one could name their child, or their pets, or anything for that matter.

1.    Quadrilateral/Equilateral/Parallelogram/Trapezoid (Polygons)
Ever imagined this? Your kid don’t even have to write his name on the quiz paper. Just draw shapes and voila! There goes his name. To tell you the truth, there are some people who could name their children after the different polygons. I wonder what Pythagoras sons name was.

2.    Precious
Reminds me Lord of the Rings. This name isn’t really a unique name. But it is in this list because there are some people who name their child Precious, which is a name normally given to pets, specifically dogs!

3.    Sapphire/Opal/Diamond/Turquoise (stones)

Yes, we all know that your child is valuable to you. So precious, that you would name them after stones? Please  don’t. They might confuse it with their real birth stones. But nowadays, there are already quite a few people who were named after the different precious stones such as Pearl and Crystal. But to name someone or something after the other strones such as the ones named above would be weird, and hard to give a nickname to!

4.    Mercury/ Mars/Pluto (planets)

Although everybody would probably know Disney’s popular dog named just like the 9th and smallest planet, Pluto, it would be very weird to give this name to a person. Naming a person after the planets we have would definitely be weird! By the way, Pluto is not considered a planet already.

5.    Tangerine/Strawberry/Orange/Banana/Melon (fruits)
There are some fruits given to people as names that aren’t weird. An example of this would be the name Cherry or Apple. But this does not mean that naming humans after fruits wouldn’t be so weird, such as the ones above.

If you name your kid from one of the choices above, you can be pretty sure it will be 90% unique. Unique is not always best but with a little creativity, you might set a new trend in baby naming for the future.
