The worst baby names you have ever heard?

Just starting a list of what not to call my baby. I don't usually make a habit of judging babies by their names but some I've heard recently have been frigging awful! The most recent one being Katara Confused it just reminds me of that phlegm when you've got a cold.

So what would you not name your baby?

I've been around here long enough to have a couple of spare flame proof jackets :)

What an obnoxious OP. Good luck to your baby.

I know a Kitara. She's beautiful and lovely. Not at all phlegm-like!

Frank
Terry
Truly
Red

Some of the worst ones iv heard!

IAmTheOneWhoKnocks · 07/01/2014 13:32

Banana the little holt I know is also lovely, it's just a shame about her name.

Frank and Terry aren't that bad are they? Must have been popular 60-50 years ago.

I saw a name doing the rounds recently where the little girl was called Krimson Tide. Who would name their child after their period?!

Not going to contribute to the OP but just pointing out that Frank is a completely badass and fabulous name.

And if my baby turns out to be a boy he will most likely be oneGrin .

Yvonne - pronounced 'Why-vone-ee' :o

MrsT2007 · 07/01/2014 14:25

I've taught some ill thought through names. The names are fine, just not with the surname.

Jenna Taylor, for example.

My dad taught a Theresa Green.

Jenna and Theresa are lovely names....just not perhaps with those particular surnames.

Riprap63 · 07/01/2014 16:09

Ignatius.

London.

Charotte31 · 07/01/2014 18:26

I just think frank and Terry are odd names to pick for a baby. There are so many lovely names!

Also ocean
Roman
Channel

When I saw this thread title I thought well replies are bound to offend somebody.

PinkandPoo · 07/01/2014 19:23

I know a baby Frank short for Francis and I like it.

So pppppppppppparp

I also like Ignatius, Iggy is a cool nickname.

The worst I've heard is Tinkerbelle, which isn't vile in itself but just faintly ridiculous.

NotAnotherPackedLunchBox · 07/01/2014 19:29

John Thomas Surname not strictly a baby name unless you go back a generation and ask my Great Aunt what on earth she was thinking
Both lovely names on their own, but together not so good. Grin

What's the point of a thread like this?

There's really no need is there?

OP, if you really want to do this - shouldn't you declare your own children's names so someone can judge them and laugh at them online? You know, anonymously...

Saw a boy called Saville on a random kids' show yesterday.

Bet the parents are regretting that a little.

madamecake · 07/01/2014 19:38

Have my first Biscuit OP

IAmTheOneWhoKnocks · 07/01/2014 19:41

Cheers madame, I love jammy dodgers.

Really no point, I was bored and decided to ask. I'd post my own but then it wouldn't be so anonymous, and I really don't care if someone doesn't like it.

Took me a while to get Jenna Taylor!

I hate these threads!

Tell us your name, OP, then we can rip it to shreds after all it's only a bit of fun!
