Sceptical? Don't dismiss it just yet. The idea came was submitted to the Baby Centre blog by mum, LucyBC. 

"Naming your baby after IKEA furniture might seem ridiculous at first glance," she wrote. "But don’t dismiss the idea! IKEA is known for the charming Scandinavian names it gives its products and many work surprisingly well as baby names."
