The hilarious baby name game that’s going viral (and giving us all some entertainment in a time of need)

Due soon and still none the wiser as to what your baby's name is going to be...?

Then you might just enjoy this fun little viral game that is doing the rounds on social media right now, in which people are trying to think of which random words would actually make a fab baby name. No, really – it's a thing. It all started when one Twitter user asked:

Which word do you think would make a pretty baby name if it didn’t mean what it meant? I’m going with Omelette.

And the internet being the internet, she didn't have to wait long until other Twitter users more than willingly offered up their own favourite 'could-be-names-if-it-wasn't-already-a-word' ideas. @FickleSarky says, “I’ve always liked Catastrophe and Apostrophe”. @Scientits says ‘Paprika’ is their name of choice, and we have to admit, it’s a cute and spicy contender! “Asphyxia always strikes me as a really pretty girl’s name,” added @SteveCotterill3, while @MaraWilson added that ‘Harlot’ would make a lovely unisex name. But one Twitter user blew them all out of the water, revealing she already had a finished list to go: Here is what @ziethamy wrote: “Oh boy, this is my time to shine. I’ve been compiling this list for years.” Her ideas? Now – what would YOUR favourite 'it could be a name' name be, guys? Let us know in the comments or tweet us at @herfamilydotie
