Sometimes, you hear a baby name that leaves you floored. You can’t imagine why any parent would ever give their child that name. For some parents, these funny baby names are chosen because they want an original baby name. Other parents just happen to like the name. If you want an unusual baby name, we have a list of 100 funny baby names to get you started. These names are actually taken from real babies who were named during 2016 or 2015, so there is actually at least one child out there with each name.
100 Funny Baby Names
1. Pilot Inspektor
This is actually what Jason Lee named his child. You may recognize his name because he was the actor who was in the television series, My Name Is Early. Hopefully, this name was just a joke.
2. Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily
While aspects of this name are pretty on their own, it is a rather long name to give a child. It was the name of the child of Paula Yates. You can certainly say that this name was a unique choice.
3. Seven Sirius
Erykah Badu decided to name his son Seven Sirius for some unknown reason. Sirius was the name of a character in Harry Potter, so perhaps that informed his naming choice.
4. Chow Tow
While it gets points for rhyming, this name is certainly odd. The Malaysian government actually banned this name, and it translates to the English words, smelly head.
5. Razor Shines
We can think of few names that would be worse for a child. This name is actually the name of a basketball player.
6. @
You should at least make a name that is made of letters. Someone must have tried naming their child this because this name was eventually banned in China.
7. Vodka
Vodka might be a nice drink, but it is certainly not the best name for a little child. Eek!
8. South
South is actually one of the more “normal” names on this list. Since someone was born and named North West (thanks, Kim Kardashian), some parents are starting to name their child after the cardinal directions.
9. John Anthony Portsmouth Football Club Westwood
Whoever named themselves this really loves sports. A football (American soccer) changed their name to this. I am amazed that the judge approved of the name change.
10. Zealand
New Zealand is a great place, but it really is not the best name for a baby.
11. Facebook
Really? A couple in Egypt decided to name their daughter this after Facebook played a large role in the Egyptian Revolution. At least the reason behind the name was a good one.
12. Briar Rose Christensen
Briar Rose comes from the tale Sleeping Beauty, but this probably is not the best name for a child. It could be worse though. At least this name sounds rather pretty.
13. Sansa
Sansa is the name of a character in Game of Thrones, and a number of parents have actually named their daughter this recently.
14. Moxie Crimefighter
Hopefully, the child named this will go on to be an actually crime fighter. This is actually the name of Penn Jilette’s child.
15. Satchel Farrow
You know, in a weird way, this is actually a rather pretty name. It was the name chosen by Mia Farrow and Woody Allen in honor of Satchel Page.
16. Cherry Grant
There are 12 people in the world who currently have this name.
17. Summer Rain
We actually rather like this name. Matthew Rutler and Christina Aguilera gave their child this name.
18. Pawk
This sounds like a sound effect in comic books instead of a baby name.
19. Darriah
This name looks pretty on paper, but it sounds like diarrhea. Gross!
20. Snape
Snape was the name of a character in Harry Potter, so it is unsurprising that some fans have chosen this baby name.
21. Fox India Owen
This is the name of the son of Emma Ferguson and Mark Owen.
22. Matthew Correspondent
Believe it or not, this is the name of a journalist who works at the BBC.
23. Megaa Omari Grandberry
This is certainly a funny baby name.
24. Daisy Boo
Believe it or not, this is the name of the daughter of Jamie and Jools Oliver.
25. Kal-El Coppola
Nicholas Cage decided to name his son this because he loves comic books, and this was the name of Superman when he was born.
26. Buddy Bear
While it might be cute, this is a quirky name for a child. It was the name given to James and Jools Oliver’s son.
27. Adeline
Adeline is quite pretty, so it probably should not be on this list. It is a girls name though, so it is rather surprising that one pair of parents named their son this.
28. Sirjames
It sounds like a royal title, so one pair of parents decided that they should give this name to their child. Oh, dear.
29. North West
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West named their daughter this. Alone, North would be pretty. With the last name West, it is a bit too much.
30. Thinn
This name is bound to give the child a complex about their weight.
31. Rhoshandiatellyneshiaunneveshenk Koyaanisquatsiuth Williams
Believe it or not, there is a girl in Texas with this funny name. Once she has to learn to write her name in kindergarten, she is going to hate her parents so much.
32. Huckleberry
The protagonist made by Mark Twain was named this, so I guess it is not surprising that someone, somewhere decided to name their child this as well. At least the nickname “Huck” sounds pretty good.
33. Twelve
I feel like the parents who used this funny name should have had 11 children before they reached 12.
34. Justin Case
This is adorable in an odd way, although we doubt the child will like having a name that sounds like just n case.
35. Grammophon
This is an odd name, but it actually sounds like a precursor to the CD player and record player.
36. Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii
If you name a child this, don’t be surprised if you have to spend a lot of money on therapy in the future.
37. Buzz Michelangelo
Tom Fletcher and Giovanna Fletcher named their son this.
38. Nutella
It is s good food, but not such a good name.
39. Heather Tina Marie Lawson
Alone, these names are great. Together, they make the acronym HTML.
40. Moon Unit
Frank Zappa named his child this.
41. Tokyo
If you can name your child Dallas or London, I guess it makes sense that you could name your child Tokyo as well.
42. Egypt
This is the funny name of Alicia Keys’ child. Poor Egypt.
43. Puma
Puma is a great brand and a lovely animal. It is surprising that the musician Erykah Badu named her daughter this though.
44. Manhattan
If children can be named Brooklyn, why not Manhattan?
45. Dough
Dough sounds like a name that will give the child a weight complex in the future.
46. Joelle Rollo-Koster
This is actually the name of a lecturer at the University of Rhode Island.
47. Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116
A Swedish couple named their child this. They said that it is pronounced, “Albin.” Really?
48. Yoga
I like yoga, but one couple took it too far.
49. River Rose
Actually, this is one of the more normal names on this list.

This is not a good name for a child.
52. Sunday Rose
This is the name of Nicole Kidman’s daughter.
53. Saint Lazslo
This is certainly a funny baby name.
54. Kix
Kix is a delicious cereal, but not the best baby name.

56. Alucard
Try spelling this name backward. You get it?
57. Bridge
A Norwegian woman was put in jail for two days for giving her child this name.
58. Burger
Burgers are great. Using burger as a name? Not so great.
59. India Rose
This is the name of the daughter of Chris Hemsworth. Honestly, it is one of the better names on this list of funny baby names.
60. Bronx Mowgli Wentz
Poor, poor Bronx. Ashlee Simpson decided to name her child this after the character in the Jungle Book.
61. Wyatt Isabelle Kutcher
This is the name of the daughter of Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis.
62. Toasted Teacake
At least this child will never have to decide what to order for breakfast.
63. Katniss
Katniss was the main character in the Hunger Games, so it probably is not particularly surprising that some parents are giving their daughter this name.
64. Stompie
This is decidedly not a good name for a baby.
65. Fish And Chips
We like fish and chips, but one New Zealand couple took it too far. Now, New Zealand has actually banned this name.
66. Titan Jewell
It kind of sounds cool, but it is a funny name for a baby.
67. Hashtag
You have to be pretty obsessed with Twitter to name your child this.

The Irish singer Bob Geldof gave his daughter this name. Fifi was his aunt. His wife liked French belles.
71. Banjo
Rachel Griffiths actually named her son this.
72. Free
Liberty would have the same meaning, but actually sound like a name. This was the name chosen by David Carradine and Barbara Hershey.
73. Espn
We like sports, but it probably would have been better to just name the child after a favorite athlete instead of a sports station.
74. Will Power
Hopefully, little Will Power will have a lot of willpower!
75. Blaer
This name means light breeze. Iceland actually banned this name because it would be too embarrassing for a child to have.

It might be funny, but your child will hate you if you choose this name.

80. Jermajesty Jackson

81. Bear Winslet
Bear is kind of cute. It is the name of the son of Kate Winslet.
82. Destry
This sounds a lot like the word destroy, and it happens to be the name of the son of Steven Spielberg.
83. Audi
Audi is a car, not a name.
84. Audio Science
There is a baby somewhere out there named this.
85. Bluebell Madonna
The first part of the name is unusual, but pretty. Together, it sounds odd. Geri Halliwell named her daughter this in honor of the singer, Madonna.
86. Camera
This is a terrible name for so many reasons. To start with, cameras are quickly going out of style as new technology takes hold. It would be like naming your child telegraph right before telephones take over. This is actually the name of Jeanne Moutoussamy Ashe and Arthur Ashe’s daughter.
87. Friday
A jury in Italy stopped one couple from naming their child Friday. Obviously, they never heard of Joe Friday.

We feel so bad for the little baby Smellie out there who had to be born to this name.

91. Haven’T
Your poor child would hate having to spell out this name for the rest of their life.
92. Bandit
I wonder if the German parents who chose this name realizes that it means robber or thief in English.

Marc Silverstein and Busy Phillips named their child this. Hopefully, they like cricket.
94. Levaeh
This is a variation on the name Nevaeh, which is actually just heaven spelled backwards.
95. Xzayvian
This sounds like the more popular name, “Xavian.” Unfortunately, the spelling is entirely off.

97. Diezel Ky
This is the name of Toni Braxton’s son. Her other son is called Denim.
98. Bodhi Ransom
Ransom is an odd name for a child, although Bodhi sounds fairly hip.
