Meanwhile, the list of boys' names includes Aubyn, Euripides, Fenston, Uxorious, Ormerod, Prince, Quail, Wigbert, Yak and Zebedee.

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".

The names Hum and Scar have also been deemed "stupid".

And the inclusion of the names Quail and Kenneth has proved highly amusing for others.

Whatever floats your boat, I guess.
