A TWO-YEAR-OLD girl has one of the world’s weirdest names after she was handed a bizarre three-word title at birth.
Dad Jason Kilburn has only recently won custody of the child and believes her name was created by a bizarre random word generator by hospital staff.

Nebraska native Jason has always called his biological baby girl Caroline ever since he learned she was his.
All appeared normal for young Caroline up until the time when Jason tried to find her birth certificate.
Caroline was never given an official birth certificate but just a certificate of live birth which is used by hospitals as an unofficial document submitted at birth.
Her mother was not in a position to care for the baby and instead got a friend to take the baby to a nearby hospital after being born, court records show.
Jason had also split from the woman in the months prior to the birth and had no clue he had become a father.
The lack of a parent meant Caroline was never given an official name and instead hospital staff strangely picked “Unakite Thirteen Hotel”.
Jason said he contacted CHI Health Mercy Council Bluffs, the hospital in Iowa that issued the document and received one possible explanation for his daughter’s nonsensical name.
He told NBC News: “I was told it was a computer-generated name.”
To this day, state records still view the small blonde toddler as Miss Hotel.
The child was with state authorities for months before Jason learned of her existence as he soon was granted custody as her biological dad.
Jason quickly learned of the lack of a birth certificate and all the issues that came with it.
It has meant that the girl isn’t eligible for a number of crucial government aids.
Jason has been desperately trying to get the issue sorted so his Caroline can have a Social Security card which will help the family gain access to a load of needed benefits.
Without being able to identify her through these documents, Jason says hasn’t been able to get any health insurance or even child care for Caroline.
Jason told NBC News on Monday: “It’s like she’s a ghost. It’s been very, very taxing.”
One of the biggest issues with the admin error is how much medical bills costs.
The dad said a simple check-up for Caroline at the pediatrician’s office recently cost $700 due to him having no cover.
He continued: “Three or four weeks ago, she was sick. She had a fever and she was throwing up, and I had to weigh my options about what I was going to do.
“It really sucks to sit here and watch her suffer when there’s health care out there that I can’t get because of this.”
He is also unable to enroll Caroline in day care, speech therapy, or other early intervention services due to the lack of a Social Security number.
It is still unclear how Caroline was allowed to live for more than two years as an unidentified US citizen.
Officials are still investigating which authority made the mistake, Mr Livingston said.
Jason is determined to keep on fighting for his daughter until she is legally known as Caroline Elizabeth Kilburn.
He added: “She’s a joy to be around. She doesn’t show signs of any trauma from any of this.”
