The world of unique baby names has gone mad. MAD, I tell you.
We’ve got colours (Blue), fruits (Apple), directions (North West), and even large bodies of water (Ocean, River, Lake).

Yep, Australia is the undisputed reigning leader when it comes to bogan baby names. From Frankenstein’d double-bangers (just add ‘lee’ onto any name, and you’re done), to straight-up inventions (Druzai), Australia also really likes to go with a phonetic name, just because, like, it’s roily roily different (Brynonee).
