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!

A baby boy called Bay...or maybe Bey.

Dustin, Karma and Story are the more unusual ones I've heard recently.

Coist - I thought I misheard, but nope. It was Coist

WTF is wrong with Glen? Very Scottish.

California-Bleu
Karlyle

On Facebook groups

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.

Beau, for a girl - it would be ok for a boy

Tencel, also for a girl

Jaxon

Petal and Emma-Leigh.

There’s also a Diezel in the school (said Diesel).

Aurora - just, no.

When I was on holiday last year at butlins Skegness I heard a kid called meadow.... I though oh maybe it’s a nickname till I saw the same lady later on in swimming with the name tattooed on her back alongside her other children’s names.
Unpopular opinion but I don’t like the names Amelia and Olivia. Dd best friend is called Olivia so I have to grin and bare it. I can’t even explain why but I just hate them a passion.

@BurtsBurk dd has a strawberry in her school, she in the year above but we know the family.

.

Destyni, it took a while to override autocorrect.

White couple,long labour during which they continuously insulted any black or Asian midwives caring for them.Called their little girl Ebony.Apparantly liked the sound of the name.

@Ownerofalittlechimp I have t read the full thread but in case no one told you Conan is an Irish name, not a weird one

Juniper
Hendrixx

When I was in hospital having DS, there was a Brooke, surname Bond. You have to be of a certain age.

Maybe they'll be good at tea bagging.

I met a Bunny Love once, didn’t believe it was her real name at first!

I actually quite like Cosmo, Juniper and Petal.

Rhylie
Ruth
Rhyce

Yuk

Names like Harlot do make me wonder whether registrars should have the right to ban the most ridiculous names.
You can't help wondering whether the parents are just too thick to know what the word means - ditto Lucifer, but I dare say the parents might be Satanists and would say that banning the name would be infringing their religious freedoms.

Worst I've seen was Mortality - but it was on a grown up waiter's name badge in Nigeria.
Randy Ponce (in the US) was another.

Peppa - I kid you not!
A lady from my NCT group

@Mountainsoutofmolehills

LOL.
Maybe learn to spell, for starters.

And a helpful hint for developing credibility - the letters I M and O go a long way.

Otherwise you come across as someone who doesn't understand that other languages (1) exist, and (2) have their own spelling rules.

I saw California-Bleu‘s birthday cake on a cake FB a group I’m in and I had to ask if that was the child’s name or not I’m assuming girl but who knows! I once wrote a story about a Huckleberry Finn type boy called California 😄

That’s another one to add to the list... Huckleberry!

Atlas....a boy....just awful!!!!
