North West, Sir, Rumi… these days it seems anything goes when it comes to baby names – but these unusual monikers are way, way out there!

The British Office for National Statistics recently revealed their list of rare names for babies in the UK.

According to their list, kids now have single-letter names like ‘S’. Apparently, you can also name your child after a tree.

The organisation doesn’t track completely unique names (where only one infant bears the moniker). According to The Telegraph, to make the list of unusual names, the moniker must be held by no more than three babies.

Here’s their list of weird and wonderul names for today’s tots.
