A teacher has anonymously shared a list of the strangest names in her class this year, giving a glimpse into the truly deranged thinking of some modern parents.
Giving your child an unusual name, spelling or pronunciation is nothing new, but today’s mums and dads are taking it to a new level.
Top of the list of weird names was Syakyra, which is apparently pronounced ‘Shakira’.
The rest of the list had some real shockers, included Rhydah, Presillar, Christisarah, Anjewel’Lea and Biar Biar.
Others had more common names, but with very uncommon spelling including Deklyn, Alarna, Aaryah, Angel-Lee and Karleb.
Wanting your child to stand out from the crowd is one thing, but surely these parents are dooming their kids to a life of teasing and not being taken seriously?
What’s the worst name you’ve ever heard?
