Zzyzx Voted Most Bizarre Name Ever Used for a Baby
United States, California (PRWEB) April 17, 2014 -- Over the years there have been many reports regarding the strange names given to children. Cited statistics and stories are seldom supported by recorded evidence of anyone actually bearing names --such as Lemonjello, Nosmo King and twins Male and Female-- making them urban legends. eBabyNames.com gathered a short-list of 20 names taken from actual Social Security Administration (SSA) data and commenced upon determining the most bizarre name ever actually used for a baby.
20% of voters in the poll chose Zzyzx as the strangest baby name given in the last 15 years. Zzyzx is most known as an unincorporated community in San Bernardino County, California, formerly known as Camp Soda. The name is of entirely unknown etymology, although it was rumored to have been chosen due to it coming last alphabetically on a list of all U.S. towns and could, therefore, be a tongue and cheek reference to “the last place on earth”.
