baby namesI love an unusual baby name. So much so that I gave one to my own child. My school-aged years were spent in a sea of Michaels and Jennifers (and Nicoles), and I always knew that when I was to have a child of my own, I was going to give him or her something unconventional. So I did. And it's working out great.

But still. Even I, a lover of "weird" names (Rainbow Aurora? Bring it on!), think there's a line. It's a blurry line, but a line no less. And a name like Puppy is ... well, pretty out there. But it's one of the many super strange names on Bounty.com's 2013's Most Extraordinary Baby Names list. There are some really sweet names on this list but also some doozies.

Is your baby's name on the list? (Hint: Doubtful.)

There are some cute ones in there -- London, Sunny, Porter, Zelie. But also, there are some of the most unusual names I've ever heard -- Pepsi? Really?

Without question, these are some of the most extraordinary baby names of this past year (read: some of the weirdest), but just because many of them aren't my cup of tea doesn't mean they don't work for the people they're given to. I'm sure there will come a time in little Vogue's life when her friends and coworkers simply can't imagine her as anything else. And when you think about it that way, it's kinda cool.

Does your child have an unusual name? What do you think of these names?
