You know the baby name situation is desperate when all over the world, countries are having to outlaw certain choices.

Mexico - to pick a random example - had to actually forbid parents from calling their children 'Circuncisión'.

You don't need to have a good grasp of the Spanish language to figure out that means 'circumcision.'

Oh, and if you live in New Zealand, give up on the idea of naming your offspring 'Panties', 'Martian' and - our personal favourite - '4Real.'

Ironically, unusual baby names have become commonplace.

But some "names" - or rather, inanimate objects - still cause controversy.

Take Skweezy Jibbs, a man claiming he's a new dad - and the owner of a pretty unique moniker himself.

Here he is.

Skweezy made an announcement on Facebook entirely in caps explaining how he'd received a "random ass call" from a woman he'd had a one-night stand with.

Not only had the woman got pregnant, but she was due to give birth and would Skweezy please sign the birth certificate as the father.

Skweezy agreed under the condition that he got to name the child.

So he called him Fidgit Spinner, and proudly displayed his birth certificate for his son's first birthday.

It did not take long for people to be VERY critical of his choice of name.

One man lamented, "Some people just shouldn't be parents, you're obviously one of those people. Imma pray for y'all ignorance and hope you can sustain a decent life for that child."

A woman added, "That poor kid."

There were those who pointed out maybe he'd been a little too trusting.

"I'd be wanting blood test," chipped in one man.

There were even supporters of the name, with one woman defending him saying, "As long and he raises the child, loves and supports him I don't really care what you name it."

But the more eagle-eyed picked up on something.

In the state of California, birth certificates tend not to be issued in the hospital immediately after birth.

"It takes a couple weeks to get an official birth certificate, for all y'all thinking this is real," one woman pointed out.

Several others also said the birth certificate wasn't the right colour.

And a few even picked up on the fact that, rather than just being an attention seeker, Skweezy Jibbs is in fact a fake persona created by comedian Tim Savage and this was a hoax.

So relax, as far as we're aware, no one has called their child Fidget Spinner.
