AIBU - to ask you for your worst girl and boy names

[Mirrorlolo]

Asking on behalf of DD who is expecting. What are in your view the worst girl and boy names. for me they are the made up ones like Nevaeh and Jayden

Beverley and Gary

Oh how lovely, another name bashing thread. What's yours OP, and if you have kids what are their names?

Fox 🦊
Bear 🐻
Made up names or names spelt incorrectly.

Aren't all names made up? 🤔

florabelle has to be the worst I’ve heard in a girl.

Wasn't it 'La-A'?

Of course 🙄

I like all those!! I think Barry should make a come back.

What is AH?

Yeah but it’s fun though!

I give you - Chardonnai. Classy spelling, huh?

Humphrey and Barnaby someone I know named their sons

Ramona is a lovely name. It’s the name of the actor who played Karen in Outnumbered. She is Ramona Marquez which is a super-cool name.

Friend named her son Barnaby. He was born during the local festival of that name. I love it.

I’m not fond of diminutives or nicknames used as full given names.

Caitlin is very often mispronounced. I really dislike Willow.

I’m sure plenty of people also wouldn’t like my own or DC’s name. I’m not about to lose any sleep.

Hormones must have sent me a bit mad as I decided Lucifer was a beautiful name for DS just after he was born. I still think it’s a nice name but there is no escaping the connotations and luckily I came to my senses and gave him a very normal name.

The made up ones or weird spellings of normal names are obvious.

Personally I don’t like cutesy versions of names as given names (Alfie, Teddy, Libby etc.). In most cases they won’t age well. Just put Alfred, Theodore or Elizabeth on the birth certificate and give the child the option to use the version that suits them as they grow.

If a person called Theodore can use Teddy and alternative name.... then a person called Teddy can use Theodore....

I came across a Typhanie once, it took me a while to figure it out.

I am surprised it’s not illegal to name someone Lucifer

If it’s a girl - Phoebe. If it’s a boy - Phoebo.

🤣
Im waiting for "I actually know somone called Ladasha.."

But can your child?

Any surnames used as first names, like Jackson, Cooper, Carter etc and names with an added bit in front, ie Aidan is a lovely name but when Jay or Kay is added to make Jaidan or Kaidan it sounds stupid to me.

This! I taught an Adolf and a family member’s neighbour has recently called her baby Myra. 😬

Agree with this poster 1000%. Not nice at all
