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 don't have the guts to share the names. Just in case the parents or child see it.

i know siblings called oliver.and olivia

There was a girl at my school called Aubi Aubergine Galliot Brooke Sailor Blue Mary-Antoinette but I cant fit the life of me remember her surname! Reckon it was something like Jones

Smamfa

Siblings Hollie and Ivie. I just can't help singing the next line.

Both names are lovely on their own ( though I prefer the y ending to the ie) but together I fear they are going to get heartily sick of that carol

Alinore

Heard it tonight on mn

Marbella

Maison.

Not Mason. Maison.

As in French for house

Havana.

My friend was allowed to use names for her girls that her husband wasn't keen on with the proviso that if they had a boy he could name him T Rex. Their third child is Thomas Rex and everyone calls him Tom except for his dad, who is determined to make T Rex happen.

Pebbles. After the Flintstones character. It was some years ago, hope she's not a mum on here now reading this....

A woman I knew whose DH was called Dennis called her 3 DD’s:

Denelle
Niselle

Deniselle.

@RebootYourEngine my daughters middle name is Winter. She's a December baby. I felt the opposite to you that I couldn't use it if she was born any other time. (It's a family name) I'd happily have had Autumn for an October baby too! Also love the name April but conversely would use that at any time lol. Random standards I have!!

My sisters kids have bizarre names but too outing to share. They all really suit them now though!!

Not a terrible bane but I know siblings called Cosmo (pretty cool name though I don't like it...) and Kevin (Not a cool name at all!!!) both parents foreign so I wonder if the bizarre combination to me means nothing to them!

There's a Tinker in DD's year. Also a Tiger.

I know a Teddy. Not Theodora shortened to Teddy. A little girl called Teddy

The names that make me go “ uh “ most of all are very much old history ( though to all the parents of small bits called jack Daniels - really why ? I have met more than one).

First a kid my dad taught in South Yorkshire in the 1950s. Cheyenne higginbottom. That’s a a name from watching too many cowboy movies that is !

Secondly a lady who died more than a handful of years ago at a grand age who bore the name Arras . After the battle of Arras in the 1st world war which her father just about survived but was never the same after. I can see why but wouldn’t you want to forget not remember every time you saw your daughter ? I guess it could have been Ypres or Mons and that would have been worse. Bless lovely Arras.

Most of the names people ask about on MN are absolutely ridiculous. All I think when I read them is that poor child going through life with that stupid name.

I work with a guy called Lovewell

Came across Rouen today. Had 2 sisters Paris and Marseilles. I kid you not.

There are also some not unpleasantly names but surprising small children bobbing about with names like Nigel, Bernard , Kenny and Simon. It just catches me off guard as I expect them to be at least 40. Funny how “ middle aged chic “ just doesn’t compute in the way that the Alfie’s , Wilfs etc grandad chic have ( and it’s almost all boys, I haven’t seen a baby Tracey Deborah or Nicola , well umm, since the Joanne that was at school with one of mine 😂- they are the names of my generation not “ nearly my grandkids generation).

helenluvsrob in London Arras would be mistaken for double rhyming slang for arse:
Aristotle (aris) = bottle
Bottle & glass .= arse

Electra and Dallas

Keith

A girl called Tiger Lily
A boy called Peregrine

I wouldn’t say it’s the worst name but a PP has reminded me of a local 4 year old called DESMOND. I love it. Desmond!
