It's normal to feel in competition with your siblings, you have usually been compared to them a lot. And the idea of sibling rivalries are nothing new, they're almost natural as everyone wants the most attention and to have their parents be proud of them. But at what point do sibling rivalries cross the line? You can steal each other's clothes, hobbies, but baby names? That might be the line, especially if it's a child that's no longer with us. That's what you call toxic.

Baby names are a wonderful way to put your creative touch on your newborn offspring. This beautiful bundle of joy will need a name with meaning, like Blue Ivy, North West...Aleph. Just don't name him Ben Dover.
There's no such thing as a 'normal name.' You might have the most common name in your country and then realize nobody can pronounce it in another. Or your name might sound very simple, but for whatever reason, your parents decided to put in a silent Q and now you have to spell it out every gosh darn time somebody asks for it. If your name has always given you sh*t, you tend to get used to the ridiculous moments that come out of it, but in the back of your brain, you might hold a bit of resentment for your 'creative' parents.

There is usually a lot of thought that goes into naming your child. When you really think about it, it is an unprecedented amount of power that we all have. There are really very few restrictions on what ridiculous names you can give your kid. Just look at Elon Musk and Grimes. Their child's name is an equation for Pete's sake!
One woman wants to name her child the same name as her best friend's ex, and bestie is NOT happy about it. The woman wants to know if this makes her the A-hole, on Reddit's Am I the A-hole page.
Naming your child is a big honor, and you can literally name them anything. Did you see what Elon Musk and Grimes named their kid? X Æ A-XII. Doesn't it just roll off the tongue? Maybe there should be more rules put in to ensure that you give your child a pronounceable name. Just a thought. But hey, it's just a name I suppose. It doesn't decide one's future, at least entirely.
People are sharing on Reddit the weirdest names they've ever come across, and they just further prove that more rules when it comes to naming your child might just be useful.
When it comes to baby names, the limit does not exist. There are so many themes, cultures, biblical references, and more to choose from. However, sometimes choice isn't necessarily a good thing. A Reddit user asked the nurses and midwives of Reddit if they've ever tried to talk parents out of particular baby names, and boy, did they have quite the names to share. Evidently, parents are a little off their rocker sometimes. Scroll down to hear names that are hilariously out of this world.
