Sheila and Shane - hold my beer.
Baby
Don't miss out on the headlines from Baby. Followed categories will be added to My News.
We thought we'd brought you the baby name that hit the ball out of the park in terms of 'original application of a noun': Tomorrow.
We thought we'd reached peak baby name 'uneek-ness'... but we were wrong.
Because now we bring you the Australian mum, who just gave birth to a son Down Under ... and bestowed upon him the most Australian name ever.
And no, it's not Snag. Or Sheila. Or Shane. Or even Straya.

"Illegal in Australia"
Mum Isabella Veronica Hayes, 23, 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 begins.
"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 adds, "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 clip has since gone viral with 2.3 million views.

"Named after the place of conception?"
As one would expect, the comments section was pure GOLD.
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."
