PETALING JAYA, Jan 29 — Popular social media personality Dean Ahmad gave his wife a shock when he sent her a picture of their newborn baby’s birth certificate on WhatsApp.
In what turned out to be a prank, the message had their son’s name as “Muhammad Bossku” in reference to former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s nickname among the biking community.
The post went viral on the social media site with the hilarious name choice leaving users in stitches.
According to Malay portal Sinar Harian, their baby boy’s real name is Umar Al-Faqeh.
While Dean’s comical name choice was only a prank, other parents have taken it upon themselves to give their children some of the strangest names you’ve ever heard of on official documents.
