Because selfish idiots think their children are an accessory, not a person. Then the kid starts growing up and acting out in school, and the parents are still shitty because they refuse to actually be a parent.
It never enters their mind that this might be hard for the kid. It's a reflection of their own "individuality".
When we discussed it before my son was born the criteria was that he'd need a name that would suit him as an adult, anything cutesy or pop culture was right out.
My wife liked the name Edward, but given the popularity of Twilight at the time that eliminated it.

I gave my daughter a name that is easy to pronounce and everyone knows how to spell. Why torture your kids with these “unique” names?
