LONDON -- The Romantic comedy Archivesquest to find the perfect baby name is particularly tough. And it's even tougher when you want to go for something on the more unusual side.
British magazine Tatlerhas devised the ultimate list of posh and highly unique names for sprogs born in 2017. The list of girls' names includes Figgy, Gethsemane, Czar-Czar, Hum, Koala, Scar, Power and Queenie.

The list has been causing quite a stir on Twitter, with many of the names becoming objects of derision.
Sophia Money-Coutts -- features director at Tatler-- told Mashablethat the team is "thrilled" at the response the list has received.
When asked about how the list was devised, Money-Coutts said she was unable to divulge the "highly scientific" way in which the names were selected.
"The method is top secret and in no way involved us simply shouting out names across the office that we thought were absurd enough," said Money-Coutts.
One of the names that's proved most contentious is Wigbert; a name of German origin which means "fighter".
