Researchers found a growing number of parents appeared to have ditched traditional names in favour of the more bizarre monikers such as Shy, Unity and Bean.
The survey, for a parenting group, found that more than one in three parents now claimed their child had an unusual name. Experts said many new parents were being influenced by celebrities who had given their children more unusual names.

The poll found three quarters of people who had given their child a traditional name believed more alternative parents were paving the way for their child to be bullied.
They added that those who had chosen more wacky names were selfish and not thinking of their child.
