People share 'weirdest' baby names they've ever heard - from Dinosaur and Cape to Satchell

Many new parents spend their entire pregnancy coming up with possible unique, interesting names to give their unborn baby. While some love traditional or fashionable monikers, others are determined to find something a little bit different and unusual - whether that be based on a location or even a piece of clothing.

One Mumsnet user headed to the online chat forum to ask people what the 'weirdest' name is that they've ever come across - and many didn't disappoint. Under the username AllyCatTown, the Mumsnet member wrote: "Anyone else been surprised at what people in their lives have called their children?"

From Dinosaur and Cape, to Dollar and Navy, there were plenty that people claim they have heard of or know of. Below is a look at some of the most unusual ones mentioned. Have you heard of any yourself? Be sure to let us know in the comment section.
