IT WAS A good year for weird baby names, if this data by BabyCenter is anything to go by.

They have released the results of its baby name survey of the year, which collected names of 340,000 babies born in 2015. While the likes of Oliver, Jack, Amelia and Olivia all topped the lists, there were some more… eccentric choices.

The girls:

Arantxa

A girls name, which means thornbush… pretty.
