Being Aussie is bonza and being an Aussie kid is ace – but giving your kid a bogan name? Stone the flamin’ crows, don’t be such a dag, mate!

We asked the top blokes and ripper sheilas in the Mouths of Mums community to tell us the most bogan names they’d ever heard, and ta very much we were blown away!

From baby names that pay homage to Aussie made classic cars to name that belong at the bottle-0, these are Australia’s best bogan baby names.

Australia’s Best Bogan Baby Names

Nevaeh

This was a hot favourite for our bogan baby names list. In case you didn’t realise, it’s Heaven spelt backwards, and actually features in the top 100 baby names regularly.

Bond

Not James. Just Bond. I’m shaken and stirred.

Skylet

A twist on Skyler?

Turbo

This kid’s fast.

Lonewolf

According to the Mouths of Mums follower who suggested this name, it has been used by a ‘very Aussie family’.

Jhett Power

We seem to be loving giving kids names that mean fast! Be careful what you wish for …

Pistol Blaze

This has disaster written all over it.

Blade

Perhaps anticipating a smart (or pretty sharp) kid?

Pilot Inspekter

Would this one be any better if the spelling was correct?

Legend

A Mouths of Mums follower says this name belonged to a child that went to her son’s school. Talk about building up your kids’ confidence!

Thainesia

Named after a restaurant, apparently.

Miami

Is it bogan to name your Aussie kid after a location in the US? (Ok, we know there’s also a Miami on the Gold Coast!)

Ford & Holden

For twins. Seriously.

“My two sons went to primary school with a Ford and a Holden and they used to line them up for races, these kids were 6 and my boys were 11 and 12. Then about a month ago I met a bloke who was mid twenties and his name was Holden turns out it was the same guy and he remembered the races well, he’s also obsessed with Holdens.” – Mouths of Mums follower

Malibu

See above, re: Miami.

Bronx

Short, sharp and possibly bogan.

Talon

Speaking of sharp.

Heineken

“Heineken has a brother called Jack. These are what I have heard at our local park and shops. I just hope my kids don’t become friends with them someday because I won’t have anything to do with their parents.” – Mouths of Mums follower

Sharone

“Sharone – for a boy – because the parents liked the song My Sharona.” – Mouths of Mums follower

Diversity

This name is actually listed on Nameberry as either a boy or girl name, but the website does add ‘As a name, a bit too p. c.’

Arsenal

At least it’s not Crystal Palace?

L-A

Pronounced Le Dasha. Really.

Brogan

So close to Bogan. So close.

Mercedes

When Aussie car names are too bogan. Aim high.

Justice

We’re not convinced this one is actually bogan! Apparently it’s a name that’s been bestowed on Roman Catholic saints, scientists and athletes.

Mayor

A future leader.

Rampage

Future wrestler name sorted.

Felony

Sigh.

Aerola

“My son goes to school with a girl named Areola. Also a lady walked past my house about 10 years ago and yelled, ‘Delta, Koehler and Moen, get yo asses back here right now.'” – Mouths of Mums follower

Calais

Why are car names so bogan?

Attica

While Atticus has been a reasonably popular boys name over the years, this gem has been relegated to bogan status.

Tempah

Talk about tempting fate.

Jax

Sons of Anarchy anyone?

Brock

Perhaps a nod to the ‘King of the Mountain’ Peter Brock.

Alani

“People calling their kids Alani because it spells Inala (the suburb they live in) backwards. And there’s more than one.” – Mouths of Mum follower

Ocean

Apparently this sweet name is no longer reserved for Earth-loving hippies.

Diesel

“Her other child’s name was Tuscany.” – Mouths of Mums follower

Lyryk

Is it the spelling or the sentiment?

Aoili

“Aioli Holden (I think the kid should sue the parents lol)” – Mouths of Mums follower

“Two sisters named: Tallis and Webcke. No joke. Why???” – Mouths of Mums follower

Axle

Guns ‘n Roses fan?

Hurricane

A little whirlwind in the form of a child!

Steele

“A kid I went to school with was named Steele Carr.” –  Mouths of Mums follower

Anarchy

No rules for this little cherub!

“… like the tiger.” –  Mouths of Mums follower

Once a super popular baby name, particularly in the US, this shining moniker has been given the bogan stamp of approval.

The god of … bogan?

Crickey – this name is rising from the ashes.

The spelling, the meaning … apparently it’s all bogan.

Dayson

A play on the super popular (and not at all bogan) Mason.

Cash

Country or bogan? You decide.

Marlena

Like sands through the hourglass …

Nykol

What??

A unique (some might say bogan) twist on the spelling of River.

Epic

“We all assumed it was a boy, but turned out it’s a girl!” - Mouths of Mums follower

Just to finish off the Holden theme.
