Parents reveal the most outrageous baby names they've heard

Oliver and Olivia are the most popular baby names in New Zealand - for the second year in a row - but some parents prefer to opt for something a little more unique.

Members were quick to share their worst examples, including Venezuela, a mispelled Pocahontas and a boy called Raspberry.
