Is this the worst baby name ever?
They say a name is the first gift you give a child, but we doubt this bundle of joy will be pleased with his unusual moniker when he grows up.
When it comes to baby names, we have heard it all.
From Gwyneth Paltrow naming her daughter Apple to Rihanna calling her son Riot Rose, not much surprises us when it comes to unique baby names
However, nurses in Germany think they have come across the worst baby name in history. That is no small feat in a place like Germany, where the people of " are not allowed to give their children names that could lead to them being mocked.
"I live in Germany where I used to think the name laws are more strict than in other countries - the city will decide whether the name you chose is an actual name or the child will be bullied for it," the Redditor wrote.
Yes, the German government can legally reject your baby name if it will harm the child's well-being in the future. So, no bizarre or irresponsible monikers!
Earlier this year, court officials banned a couple from naming their newborn Lucifer.
The courts have also said hell no to a child being named Satan and Judas. Amen to that!
Other names German authorities have given the thumbs down to include McDonald, Pain and Vaginia.

German parents must enjoy pushing the envelope when it comes to giving children unique names, because nurses even note their least favourite.
"A friend who works there told me that in our local birth center, the nurses have a list of the top 3 worst names of that year. I can‘t remember 2 and 3 sadly, but voted Nr. 1 worst name was: Richie Rich Putin," the Reddit user said.
If you grew up in the 1990s, 'Richie Rich' is probably one of your favourite Macaulay Culkin movies, next to 'Home Alone'.
As for Putin, well, only one person comes to mind—Vladimir Putin.
We are not the snitching type, but we would be tempted to call the German Name Police to notify them of this atrocity.
"Do parents really hate their child that much? Or do they think it's funny and don't think it through for the kid's future?" one Redditor asked.
Another commented: "That poor child."
We don't know if it's the worst baby name ever, but it will undoubtedly cause a ruckus on German playgrounds.
Mr Putin, if you see this, don't shoot the messenger!
