There is a boy in the Phillippines who got named Drink Water by his mom. He probably got bullied and teased because of that name but there is now payoff from the suffering. When his name got viral, Gatorade decided to hire him as endorser for their campaign "water drinks gatorade" Why would his mother name her son "Drink Water". He said his mom loves drinking water. If this happen in Italy, child services will probably take him away from his parents source

I remember a friend of mine. He named his kids based on their order of birth. His first born is Uno, the second is Dos, so on and so forth (Spanish counting numbers). Now he has five kids namely Uno, Dos, Tres, Quatro and Cinco regardless of gender.

They might work a boy's name but not girls name.

@CaptAlbertWhisker It worked for his girls. I think Tres and Cinco are girls. Numbers are neutral anyway and with the world today, anything can be hahaha

That is definitely a weird thing to name your kid. But I guess in a way it had a payoff for whatever that is worth. I guess even if he picked on a bit in school, he winds up getting the last laugh.

Yeah he is now getting paid by Gatorade to tell people to destroy their Kidneys by drinking Gatorade instead of water.

@Jude07 I had a classmate named Seven but that one is spelled. The one with Spaghetti 88 have the real number 88 since spelling it will make it longer. Have you seen what celebrities named their kids?

In some countries you can name your children any way you wish. I remember that when one of my friends lived in Venezuela, she got a Colombian maid. Her name was Do Mi Sol Fa. I could not believe my ears.
