Weird Baby Names That Made History | Sheffield News
Description
From “One” in the Victorian era to “Buzz,” “Pineapple,” and “Whoopsie” in the 80s, UK genealogy firm Fraser and Fraser has uncovered a wild archive of bizarre baby names dating back to 1875. With no official bans, parents have long wielded naming freedom — though names that are obscene, numerically odd, or practically unworkable (like “Baby Girl” or “Enough”) can cause real headaches later — from passports to bank accounts. These quirky names, though strange, belong to real people, and for the archivists who’ve tracked them for nearly a century, every story is fresh and fascinating.
