When it comes to baby names, it seems almost anything goes these days … but plenty of super unique baby names still stop us in our tracks.

The baby name experts at Nameberry have put together a list of the craziest baby names in the US, and when we tell you we’re shook … we’re SHOOK!

From the whacky to the wild and everything in between, while they may seem like figments of imagination, we can assure you they are very much real names belonging to real babies.

In fact, Nameberry has some pretty strict rules when it comes to qualifying for its list of crazy names – they must have been officially given to five or more babies in a year according to Social Security data. So it means these names haven’t just been given to one baby, but multiple!

Ok, ok, we know you just want to see the crazy names, so here they are!
