A growing number of parents appear to have ditched traditional names in favour of more bizarre ones such as Shy, Unity and Bean.
越来越多的父母屏弃了起传统名字的做法，而是开动脑筋，想给孩子取个稀奇古怪、“独一份”的名字。 例如：“害羞”、“统一”或者“豆子”等等。

It’s great to see parents being creative and wanting their children to stand out from the crowd with more unusual names. They don’t want their children to share anyone else’s name。” said Bounty spokeswoman Faye Mingo.
邦蒂育儿俱乐部女发言人法耶·明戈表示：“这些父母开动脑筋给自己的孩子起独特的名字，是想让自己的孩子在人群中引人注目，而不想让他们和别人同名。”

“Parents do need to think very carefully about everything that comes attached to an unusual moniker as it can definitely shape a child’s experiences from how they are treated at school and beyond.”
但是她提醒这些“新潮”的父母，取名前要“三思而后行”，一个怪名字，很可能会给孩子的成长带来困扰，影响他们在学校以及其他场所的待遇。

The poll also found that the same number of children, perhaps unsurprisingly, did not like their names while a growing number had asked for it to be changed.
调查结果也与该说法一致：许多孩子不喜欢他们的怪名字，纷纷要求改名。
