Don't miss out on the headlines from Baby. Followed categories will be added to My News.
A brave, bold, and "bogan" (as she's been called) Aussie mum claims to have named her child one of the Aussiest names we've ever heard.
And no, it's not Snag. Or Sheila. Or Shane. Or even Straya.

"Illegal in Australia"
Kidspot first brought you this story in 2022, but it's doing the rounds on social media again - and we'd hate for you to miss it.
Mum Isabella Veronica Hayes posted a clip in response to a call out for people who have 'baby name regret'.
However, Isabella took the chance to tell her 60,000 followers that she did not NOT have ANY baby name regret, even though the approach she took with her son was not common.
"My son's name is Holden Commodore," she began.
"Originally we wanted to call him Commodore, but that's illegal in Australia." (FYI, it's a banned name because Commodore in this country refers to a very high-ranking Navy official.)
"So, we called him Holden Commodore. He'll be one soon, and I do not regret it at all."
The mum added, "Holden Commodore suits him perfectly, and I know people will probably start copying me with the name because it's so cool."
Holden is of course a traditional name... but put it together with Commodore as a middle name, and you have the name of one of Australia's most beloved and iconic cars.
To say the Holden Commodore (which stopped being manufactured in 2020) is a symbol of Australia, a national treasure, is an understatement.
The one-of-a-kind name is just about as Aussie as it comes, and unsurprisingly the (now deleted) clip went viral with 2.3 million views.

"Named after the place of conception?"
As one would expect, the comments section was pure GOLD; and in typical Aussie form, Isabella was accused of giving the boy a "bogan" name many times.
One viewer wrote, "If my son is anything like me, I'm gonna call him Ford Falcon because he'll break down all the time."
Another questioned, "Named after the place of conception?"
Others made contributions that only other Aussies may understand, like this one: "So he basically sits on the front lawn and does nothing?"
And this: "Please tell me he has a mullet to match?"
Some shared their car baby names, with one mum writing, "My husband wanted to call our daughter Maserati."
Finally, this comment summed up the name perfectly: "Tell me you're Australian without telling me you're Australian."
Although many viewers were convinced that Isabella was having a joke, it does seem that since she made the post, this is the name she uses for her son - at least on social media, anyway.
