	Tiger, Ferret and Awesome are among the quirky names which have been given to babies born in Britain in the last year. At least three families have given the name Miracle to newborn boys, and at least three girls have been called Tequila by their parents. A football-mad family even decided to name their child Rooney-Scholes in tribute to two Manchester United footballers. Figures released by the Office for National Statistics reveal that the names Awesome, Marvellous and Excellent were each given to at least three boys in 2011. Boys called Zeus and Billybob appear to have been named after a Greek god and Hollywood actor Billy Bob Thornton respectively. One family even named their child Jagger-Rock after the lead singer of the Rolling Stones. As well as Tequila, girls' names include Velvet, Ray, Loveday and Comfort. Parents keen to instil good manners in their daughters from an early age have called them Purity, Promise and Justice. Other names registered this year are understood to include Peace, Rogue, River, Serendipity, Diesel-Joe and Rider Zoom. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2188624/Tiger-Ferret-Tequila-Rooney-Scholes-Just-bizarre-names-given-British-children-parents.html
