You know the baby name situation is desperate when all over the world, countries are having to outlaw certain choices.
Mexico – to pick a random example – had to actually forbid parents from calling their children ‘Circuncisión’.
You don’t need to have a good grasp of the Spanish language to figure out that means ‘circumcision.’
Oh, and if you live in New Zealand, give up on the idea of naming your offspring ‘Panties’, ‘Martian’ and – our personal favourite – ‘4Real.’
Ironically, unusual baby names have become commonplace.
But some “names” – or rather, inanimate objects – still cause controversy.
Take Skweezy Jibbs, a man claiming he’s a new dad – and the owner of a pretty unique moniker himself.
Here he is.
Skweezy made an announcement on Facebook entirely in caps explaining how he’d received a “random ass call” from a woman he’d had a one-night stand with.
Not only had the woman got pregnant, but she was due to give birth and would Skweezy please sign the birth certificate as the father.
Skweezy agreed under the condition that he got to name the child.
So he called him Fidgit Spinner, and proudly displayed his birth certificate for his son’s first birthday.
It did not take long for people to be VERY critical of his choice of name.
One man lamented, “Some people just shouldn’t be parents, you’re obviously one of those people. Imma pray for y’all ignorance and hope you can sustain a decent life for that child.”
A woman added, “That poor kid.”
There were those who pointed out maybe he’d been a little too trusting.
