What name do you love that just doesn’t make sense? What weird and wonderful name speaks to your heart, even when your mind says no no no?

Can you make any sense of your wacky name crush? Or would you just blame baby name craziness?

So tell us: What’s your strangest baby name love, your craziest baby name crush?
