Dad Gives His Son A Ridiculous Name Because He Wanted To Be A Writer

A father in Indonesia has used his passion to become a writer to inspire a name for his son.

The dad thought it was fitting to call his newborn ABCDEF GHIJK.

You would think a hopeful writer would be able to use their linguistic skills to come up with something a bit more inventive but the father believed the first 11 letters of the alphabet was a fitting first and middle name.

This bizarre story was discovered when the boy, who is now 12 years old, went to get his coronavirus vaccine in the regency of Muara Enim in the Indonesian province of South Sumatra.

He wrote down his full name of ABCDEF GHIJK Zuzu and authorities thought he was joking around.

It wasn't until they confirmed it with his dad that they realised they had stumbled across one of the most bizarre names on the planet.

Local media contacted the dad to find out more about the name's origin and he explained how he dreamed of one day being a writer.

The dad had come up the moniker well before his son was conceived and was very happy to finally enact the idea once the boy was born.

Spitting out that name is pretty difficult considering it doesn't really sound like anything, which is why the boy has shortened it to Adef.

The dad also had plans to keep the alphabetic naming for his other sons going, but instead chose to give them regular names Ammar and Attur.

He was fully prepared to call them NOPQ RSTUV and XYZ respectively, but eventually opted against it.

It's the strangest name we've seen since Grimes and Elon Musk named their son X Æ A-12.

Grimes - whose real name is Claire Elise Boucher - explained what the bizarre moniker means and it's still a bit confusing.

"X [represents] the unknown variable," she wrote on Twitter. "Æ is the the Elven spelling of Ai (love &/or Artificial intelligence).

"A-12 = precursor to SR-17 (our favourite aircraft). No weapons, no defences, just speed. Great in battle, but non-violent. (A=Archangel, my favorite song)."

California law only allows names to include the 26 letters of the English alphabet so Grimes and Elon then opted for X Æ A-XII, however it's not clear whether that second character was approved.
