There are a number of reasons that influence parents' decision when it comes to naming their baby – from what they like the sound of, to something to do with the time they were conceived, or just liking the way something sounds.
While there's no right or wrong names, not everyone can like them all.
One woman, who used to work in a paediatrics clinic, would meet countless parents, babies, and children day in and day out – and not all of their names hit the spot.
She has now shared some of the names that have "burned into" her brain. Taking to Reddit, she explained that "every single one of these is a real, unfortunate child".
First on the list was "Major Paine", which she added was the child's full name. Another name she'll never forget is "Prime Minister".
She also met a "Courvoisier", whose siblings were "Seagrams, Cognac, Brandy and Coors".
Unbelievably, she also claims she met a child whose name was "Menage" – while her twin sister was called "A'Trois".
Commenters were gobsmacked at the baby names, with one person saying the last one was "painful," adding: "Those poor girls."
Another added: "Major Paine's mum clearly didn't have a good labour experience."
Others started commenting to share other baby names they had heard, with one person saying: "My kids went to school with a Ta'yestaday. Her sister was Tamara. But if a third one was to come along, it would have been Ta'nite."
"I work at an optometry clinic and I once had a patient whose first name was Led Zeppelin. He had no middle name and a normal last name, so it was like Led Zeppelin Smith. He was only a toddler at the time, and his parent seemed like totally normal people. It was surreal," commented another.
