Worst baby names you’ve heard of recently..

[Poppylizzyrose]

I’m talking the ridiculous ones, so not meaning to offend anyone. If you remember the story how you heard it please include that too!

Mine
When I was in hospital after my c section 6 weeks ago, lady across from me was talking to a nurse. The conversation went like this-

Nurse “he’s gorgeous! Does he have a name?”
Lady “yeh he’s legend king, after my dad”
Nurse “ooh....lovely!”
Lady “yeah named him after my dad as my dad died yesterday, same day e was born”
Nurse “oh I’m so sorry!”
Lady “it’s alright happened years ago, he was stabbed never liked the bastard serves him right!”
Nurse “okay! Right you can have these pain killers...”

😂😂 know I shouldn’t laugh but me and my mum told everyone at Christmas.

Names and stories please!

I usually find these threads vaguely amusing but I’ve just been stopped short by someone referencing someone I know, one of my very best friends through my teens. I obviously went to school with a pp. Its bought home to me that these are real people we’re taking the piss out of and it’s not nice at all. Sorry to be THAT poster.

Oh, and Mortality - on a waiter's name badge in a hotel in Lagos (Nigeria). The poor bloke did look as miserable as sin, too.

La-a pronounced Ladasha is a total myth!! I’ve heard it from my sister who works in a hospital and from my friend who is an optician- it was never them that directly heard it but a colleague. I believed it at first but heard it a few times then saw it on here loads!!!!

Poppylizzyrose - Yes nothing wrong with Brian - but the baby was called “Baby Brian”

That’s what I was shocked about!

I.know Le-a is a myth but I wonder if people have heard they myth and thought what a fantastic name i,m going to use it?

I wish someone would finally just go for M@

As in M-att...

How about M@AO? (Matteo). Wonder if anyone has used it.
Ajay is a Sikh name I think.

La-a pronounced Ladasha is a total myth

It is possible that a La-a exists in England & Wales, or in fact a few of them. The published ONS baby name stats only list names used each year where a minimum of 3 babies have been named with the exact same spelling. If 1 or 2 babies were called La-a then they won't be listed on the stats (but I don't believe anyone on here who claims their granny's window cleaner' step daughter's aunt is called La-a)

@MikeUniformMike I know a K8, which isn't a million miles away.....

Mike these people did not use the name for its Sikh background. They just wanted all the names to sound like initials.

Dray
Thai
Lanah (not sure if this is to avoid what Lana spells backwards)

Joesph (apparently once an accepted spelling but just looks misspelled nowadays)
Ion (I looked this up and apparently it’s the Roman version of John. But I imagine everyone nowadays will just think of the science ion)

Storey some amalgamation of parents' names completely failing to acknowledge the accepted meaning.

DDs name and mine combined make a girl’s name. People think we did it on purpose.

Siblings at DDs school have names which when combined make the name of an intimate itch cream.

I heard the other day of a girl named Panda.

When I was having DS2, the baby in the next cot was called CJ. Not abbreviated, that was its name. Couldn’t decide if the parents were lazy or just very, very thick. The baby was going to be in the dog’s bedroom so probably the latter. Maternity wards are an eye opener - all human life is there.

My FIL's name is Woolfe, his mother was Russian.

Espresso that one is mind boggling, surely someone must have realised

Some of the posts have disappointed me and my god son is called idris.

With all due respect @poppylizzyrose if you create a thread called "Worst baby names" you are obviously looking to make fun of people and maybe seeing that your godson's name has been mentioned you should realise that other people's baby names are being mentioned here too which is not very nice.

Yes nothing wrong with Brian - but the baby was called “Baby Brian”

That’s what I was shocked about!

This. (Maybe we know the same baby Brian!) We're not allowed to state the baby names that we have heard that are unusual for us, only laugh at names that come from other cultures or "low-income" parents (I don't want to stereotype, just trying to make a point).

I'm sure that there are far more young Idrises in Wales nowadays. Idris used to be a fairly unusual name. You'd be lucky to know one or two.

Dh knows someone with 2 kids called London and Paris

(They're American, if that's relevant)

I went to school with a billie-leigh-jo

@myimajinary.. my cousin called her son AJ.. just that. We were all baffled too

I used to know a Beau Phineas.
Also know a few Princesses.
I have a younger relative called India, which isn't so bad but her middle name is Tiger-Joy. India Tiger-Joy. Her brothers have quite normal names.

Laylea-mai, completely made up, and I cant help but think one day she will be a grown up lady with a name that's just not quite right for an adult.
I can talk though my dad wanted to call me Zeus if I was a boy, although I think he'd only seen it written down as he wanted to pronounce it zee-us he also liked the name blade. I'm so happy my mother put her foot down or I may have been someone's contribution to this thread!

Come across a kyson, Gemini, tyanna irks me the most cause it's also spelt incorrectly. Not keen on sickly twee hyphenated names. Can't move for oscars and Olivia's

Oh. And I once heard of a Domino.

That's just asking for trouble in the playground when lining up with the other kids, no?

I knew a Domino a few years ago. She would be in her late 20s now.
