And the "ridiculous" answers flooded in, including one user who said they heard a parent name their child Kimyonce, a combination of Kim Kardashian and Beyonce.

Another user said they'd met a child with the hilariously pop-related name Aero Smith, as the parents were presumably big fans of the band.

While other parents apparently decided to name their children after illegal drugs including: "Marijuana Pronounced 'mary-annaaa'".

And "Extacy, pronounced like ecstacy. Not sure if they misspelled it on purpose- was afraid to ask."

A lot of animal names made it onto the thread, with the most popular being Dolphin, Trout and Panther.

And some other bizarre names that users had heard were Chandelier, Whiskey, Strawberry Rain, Money and Ghost.

"'Chlamydia...what a nice name!' I dropped her off shortly thereafter, but checked in with the nurse the next day. Yep. She named her daughter Chlamydia."
