Weird Baby Names Facts
- In 2007, Sweden refused to allow a couple to name their daughter "Metallica," in honor of the superstar heavy rock group. However, under newly relaxed rules, Metallica is now a perfectly acceptable choice in Sweden. Parents still cannot name their children with swear words for names or name them God, Allah or Devil.
- In July, 2008, David Partin and his then-pregnant girlfriend Samantha Bailey, agreed to sell the rights to his unborn son's name to an Orlando radio station for a $100 gas card. Two morning show hosts planned to name the baby after themselves, "Dixon and Willoughby."

Stars with the Same Dress
- Last year, New Zealand authorities blocked a couple's bid to officially name their new son "4Real," saying numerals are not allowed. And in July, a 9-year-old New Zealand girl was made a ward of the court so she could change her name from "Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii." She complained that it was embarrassing and a judge agreed. The girl's new name was not made public.
- French parents must choose baby names from an approved list. The laws are designed to prevent teasing.
- In America, "You can't use a four-letter word that I wouldn't use in this interview," a sociologist said, "and other than that you're free to do what you want."
- One Michigan boy and one Texas boy have been named "ESPN" after the sports network based in Bristol, Conn.
Other unusual and real names. Really!:
Alka Seltzer, Selva Alegre (Happy Jungle), Sostenes (Brassiere), Ángel Cristo (Angel Christ), Poderoso Melchor (Powerful Melchor), Semiencanto (Semi charming), Circuncisión (Circumcision), John Kennedy, Perfecta Heroína (Perfect Heroine), Usmail (as in USA Mail), Usnavy (as in USA Navy).
