If you're struggling to come up with a name for your baby then why not take some inspiration from the bogan community?
This week Australian writer Sabrina Rogers-Anderson released the Best bogan baby names: 2016 edition, which features 20 of the best and hilarious bogan names for boys and girls.
When first published back in 2014, the annual list caused quite the controversy with bogans taking to their Holden Commodores and Ford Falcons to blast ‘Sweet Child O' Mine' on their stereos while they staged mass protest burnouts across New Zealand and Australia.*
'I won't defend myself other than to say it was meant as a light-hearted joke. I believe we all have a bit of bogan in us that we should embrace and celebrate,” says Sabrina.
Some of our favourite boys and girls names which appear on the list include:
Aryan: History aside (*cough Hitler cough*) this name could potentially make the boy's life hard if he's of a tanned complexion or frequently visits synagogues later on in life. Perfect if he enjoys dressing up as a ghost.
Blade: Potentially handy if there's a sudden outbreak of vampires, or he takes up a sport like fencing or wrestling later on in life. Somewhat problematic if there is a sudden outbreak of vampires or he takes up a sport like fencing or wrestling and is a complete wimp.
Brogan: Supposedly an Irish surname-now-a-first-name, it's also perfect marriage or ‘bro' and ‘bogan'. In fact, don't be surprised if you start hearing ‘what's up my brogan, chuck us a Woody's?' the next time you visit your local speedway.
Beautiful: This is the name to give your child when you want complete strangers to think they are completely narcissistic. And just remember folks: true beauty is on the inside – not the name on your driver's license. At least it's spelt out correctly.
Younique: The name that is what it says. Just picture a convention for people named ‘Younique' 20 yeas down the track and how seriously miffed all those women will be.
D'Nyell: The first stage of loss and grief or reference to a river in Egypt? Seriously,what?
Khodii: Please tell me this is just another way of spelling ‘Cody's' and they forgot to add the ‘s'.

*Mass protest burnouts may have occurred, but as there is no recorded instances of them happening it is most likely that the protests have been completely fabricated by the author of this story.

We have our own ridiculous names for our much loved and cherished children (Well, that is what they should be, loved and cherished). Such as, a name recently overheard on a Tauranga bus (So not sure of the spelling for this young BOYS name) how about living with Onyx?

it would be doubly shameful if he was a skinny little "white boy", some parents have absolutely no idea what they put their progeny through with stupid names, sounds "cool" to them but they are the first to complain about their child being picked on in the school playground....
