The name Zzyzx, pronounced as "Zay-Zix", has been reportedly voted as the most bizarre baby name by the eBaby voters.

According to a check of Social Security Administration records by the website eBabyNames.com, the strange name has been given to at least five babies in the United States, ABC News reported.

Other names that were included in the most bizarre names were like Nimrod, Lucifer and Jealousy.

According to the survey conducted by eBabyNames.com, participants agreed that it was the strangest name they'd heard of in the last 15 years.

The name is not quite as unique as one might think, as a town and a road in San Bernardino County, Calif., carry the same name. The site said the place name is rumored to mean "the last place on earth"-just as the baby name likely would be last on an alphabetically organized list.
