Youngest Child To Get A Unique Name

A pair of parents expecting their third child have decided they’ll be doing something really unique with the name this time around. 

The Betoota Heights couple, who welcomed daughter Jane in 2021 and son Noah in 2024, say they can’t wait to welcome a third child into the family unit. 

“We honestly forgot how exciting the lead-up can be, especially naming the kids, we love that part,” said father Joe Hardy. 

“Yeah, we actually went a bit left field and named our new puppy Cookie, and that was such a rush so now we’re thinking we should do something really different for this baby’s name.”

Mum Chloe Hardy agrees. 

“I love my kids names, don’t get me wrong,”

“It was really important to us to give them names they could carry into the workplace once they were old enough, names that wouldn't land them an earful in the playground,”

“But yeah basically with this third kid we don’t give a fuck about that anymore.”

Pulling up her notes app and navigating to a tab titled ‘Baby #3 Names?’ Chloe began rattling off some of her favourites.  

“Joe suggested Thunder, but spelt Thundah, which we both love. That’s a strong one,”

“I thought Gravity could be cool, but probably spelt Gravatee,”

“OMG I loved Gwenyth Paltrow’s vibe with Apple, I’d so do that if it’s a girl, but we’re thinking Appull instead, probably,” 

“Jane, Noah and Appull. UGH it literally sounds meant to be.”
