Want your child to stand out from the crowd - then call your new arrival Ikea or Moet.
Parents are increasingly opting for unusual names for their offspring, according to the latest list of names registered in Britain over the last 12 months.
Flat-pack furniture store Ikea has been registered as a girl's name, while champagne name Moet has been used for a boy.
Other names which have made an appearance over the last 12 months include Paprica, Caramel, Bambi, fire-Lily, Skylark and Tame - which stands for The Apple of My Eye.
The Beckhamesque trend for naming babies in tribute to where they were conceived has also had its adherents.
However, while the Beckhams opted for Brooklyn, other Britons have chosen the more mundane Finchley or Ely.
The unusual names were highlighted in research carried out by baby goods firm Bounty.
It found a range of reasons for people choosing strange names, such as a boy called Ryan after Ryanair and a girl called Candy after her grandmother's donkey.
Managing director Simon Williamson said: "Today's parents are looking for ideas outside of the usual sources of inspiration because they want a name that is different.
"They are looking for something that will enable their child to stand out from the crowd and in some instance have a story behind it such as where the parents met."
The trend for giving children a unique identity has become even more pronounced in the United States, where children have been called Nike, Timberland and L'Oreal, while at least two have been named after sports channel ESPN.
