16-Pound Baby Born in California, Dethrones 15-Pound Baby's Record After One Week!

Just one week after a newborn baby boy was named one of the largest ever born, he's no longer even the largest on record in California in 2014.

Sosefina Tagalu of Daly City, Calif. delivered Sammisano Joshua Talai Otuhiva in August, but had no idea he might be the biggest ever in the state.

"Everyone was guessing before we weighed him," said Tagalu to The Huffington Post. "The nurses were guessing 10 or 11 and the doctor guessed 14."

The result: 16 pounds, 1.7 ounces.

The family did not tealize the birth may have been a record breaker until another California baby, Andrew Jacob Cervantez, made headlines in January.

At 15 pounds, 2 ounces almost a full pound lighter than baby Sammisano, newspapers hailed Cervantez as "the largest baby ever born in California."

So much for that!

"My friends and family told me I needed to set the record straight," said Tagalu of Sammisano, who isn't the first large baby in his family either.

Though his sister was a typical 8 pounds and 9 ounces, his brothers were 12 pounds, 4 ounces and 11 pounds, 1 ounce. Sammisano even arrived early.

"The doctor said he might have weighed 18 pounds if he had arrived on the due date," Tagulu said of the baby, who weighs 25 pounts at five months.

While the title of biggest baby is hard to prove - birth weights are not tracked by state officials and medical records are protected by privacy laws - Tagalu is psyched.

"He truly is amazing," she said. "Just amazing."

And probably quite a handful. Just a hunch.

As for his name, we're kinda digging Sammisano! As for some of the celebrity baby names compiled in the ridiculous gallery below ... not so much:

17 Most Ridiculous Celebrity Baby Names
North West. The spawn of Kimye being named after a direction may be the dumbest thing in human history. At the same time, if she doesn't grow up to have a signature fragrance called North by North West, this is not a planet we wanna be living on.

North West

1. North West

North West. The spawn of Kimye being named after a direction may be the dumbest thing in human history. At the same time, if she doesn't grow up to have a signature fragrance called North by North West, this is not a planet we wanna be living on.


Destiny "Miley" Cyrus

2. Destiny "Miley" Cyrus

Yes, Miley's real name is Destiny ... which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but Billy Ray and Tish probably guaranteed she'd become a stripper someday with that moniker.


Apple Martin

3. Apple Martin

Ironically, Apple is both the name of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin's daughter and likely the name of a food item forbidden in some rich crazy-person diet she probably follows.


Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale

4. Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale

We got nothing.


Kal-El Cage

5. Kal-El Cage

Nicolas Cage named one of his kids Kal-El, a fact not related to him being wasted out of his mind in this mug shot ... although that could explain a lot of things.


Bear (Kate Winslet and Alicia Silverstone)

6. Bear (Kate Winslet and Alicia Silverstone)

Not only did she torture us with The Reader, Kate Winslet is making her newborn's life terrible with Bear as his name. Alicia Silverstone chose this name too. And she chews up Bear's food for him, which is also interesting.


Blanket Jackson

7. Blanket Jackson

Blanket Jackson is not actually the name of the youngest child of Michael Jackson. It's Prince Michael Jackson II ... not to be confused with Prince Michael Jackson I (also pictured). As for his nickname, he was wearing a Blanket while MJ dangled him over a balcony. Good times.


Jermajesty Jackson

8. Jermajesty Jackson

Jermajesty. Michael's brother Jermaine outdid him with that one.


Suri Cruise

9. Suri Cruise

Suri Cruise, the child of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, is a bona fide cutie. Who will have to spell and explain her name approximately 10 times per day as an adult.


Tu Morrow

10. Tu Morrow

Actor Rob Morrow named his daughter Tu. GET IT? That's either a great play on words or the dumbest thing ever. Maybe a little of both.


Moxie Crimefighter

11. Moxie Crimefighter

Moxie Crimefighter is the daughter of Penn Jillette. That is all.


Pilot Inspektor

12. Pilot Inspektor

Pilot Inspektor is the son of Jason Lee. That spelling you are reading here is accurate.


Princess Tiaamii

13. Princess Tiaamii

Princess Tiaamii is the daughter of busty British babe and reality star Katie Price. We feel bad.


Denim

14. Denim

Toni Braxton named her kid Denim. Apparently "Polyester," "Suede," and "Cotton" were taken.


Kyd

15. Kyd

Yes, Kyd. David Duchovny mailed that one in worse than his alleged acting on Californication.


Bronx Mowgli

16. Bronx Mowgli

Bronix Mowgli, the son of Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz, is named after a borough of New York City AND a Jungle Book protagonist.


Maxwell Drew Johnson

17. Maxwell Drew Johnson

Jessica Simpson named her little daughter Maxwell. Perhaps she is trying to overcompensate for giving her an old man's name by putting her in this bikini.
