People share worst ever baby names ranging from Uranus to Cocaine

Parents have shared the worst ever baby names they have ever come across in recent years - including children called Cocaine, Uranus and Khaleesi.

A post shared on Twitter encouraged people to reveal the most bizarre baby names - and boy, did they deliver.

Among the most absurd were babies called Cocaine and Phelony (pronounced 'Felony').

Also included were babies whose parents were clearly fans of the cult TV show Game of Thrones, having christened them with monikers such as Khaleesi and Kingslayer, according to the Daily Star.

Another mum must have been a Star Wars fan when she named her son Anakin.

More random choices included Diesel Duramax, Psamantha and Crystal Shining Waters.

Other people got involved to share some of the unusual names they had come across.

One said: "My coworker named her baby 'Strawberry Rain.' Which would be a great baby name, if she had given birth to a bottle of shampoo."

Another said: "Met a girl named Jennifert in college...Jennifer with a T. Why? Because her parents wanted her to be different."

A third added: "My kids used to have friends in school whose names were Neptune, Galaxy, and Uranus. All girls.

“And no, this is NOT a legend or a myth. Their parents were astronomers. Poor Uranus got it the worst."

But it didn't end there one person remembered going to school with a 'Paige Turner' and another knew a 'Kviiilyn' (pronounced Kaitlyn as in K-8-lyn).

One teacher chimed in and said she taught one child with a particularly bubbly name. She said: "I'm teaching in an elementary classroom and had a boy named Jacuzzi. That was a fun one."

“Reinbeaux (pronounced rainbow),” said another.
