- Author Sabrina Rogers-Anderson revealed the most bogan baby names of 2021
- The parenting expert ranked Chardae, Jenesis and Mattel top for girls

A parenting expert has revealed Australia's most 'bogan' baby names of 2021 - from Lundynn and Wednezdai to Legend and Vagina.
Sabrina Rogers-Anderson, author of The Little Book of BOGAN Baby Names first published in 2017, combed through the national birth register to uncover the country's most bizarre choices.
'Every year, I think my annual list will be the last because surely I've covered every bogan name in Australia. But every year, Aussie parents prove me wrong,' Ms Rogers-Anderson wrote on Kidspot.

The Canadian author found one couple who named their first child SaTiva after a strain of cannabis, then ran with the theme by calling their second daughter Indica - another strain of marijuana - 16 months later.
Chardae and Jenesis - a misspelling of the biblical book Genesis - were just some of the wacky picks for girls, according to Ms Rogers-Anderson, who claims Chardae is simply Chardonnay 'sneakily disguised' as a new name.
Other twists on traditional names included Sharlet, Zacqueline, Wednezdai and Trynyty, while one couple went completely rogue by naming their baby girl Vagina.
Ms Rogers-Anderson said she discovered it ranked number 16,815th in popularity on a baby name website.
Some parents drew inspiration from corporate brands by naming their daughters Mattel - the company that manufactures Barbie - and Velveeta, a processed, plastic-like cheese popular in the US.

Ms Rogers-Anderson's research shows boy parents drew inspiration from destinations, with names such as Kuba and Lundynn appearing on the list.
Monosyllabic names including Crash, Fysh and Lynxx were also popular, along with bizarrely dramatic choices like Legend and Rolexus - a mash up of luxury watch maker Rolex and car brand, Lexus.
Ms Rogers-Anderson also found parents naming their baby boys Jacksin - a misspelling of Jackson - and Heller, a nod to the trend for Americanised names ending in 'er' such as Striker, Breaker, and Dagger.
Elsewhere on the list was Pinches, originally a surname first recorded in 12th century Europe which means 'bright' and 'chirpy'.
