The worst baby names you have ever heard?

[IAmTheOneWhoKnocks]

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 it just reminds me of that phlegm when you've got a cold.

So what would you not name your baby?

Most people (including my parents!) think my DD2's name is the worst they've heard

I'm just waiting for someone to say it....

(I absolutely love it though, so I named her it anyway )

I am liking the 'I liked it so I called my child by this name' - that's how it should be! I think baby naming is hard and a bit surreal (somehow its all a bit too soon when they're newborn). I wanted to wait a good few years- I got my wish as my daughter changed her own name when she was 6!

I like tuppence too- its in a great song 'sing for me tuppence' anyone know where the name's from?

There's an actress called Tuppence Middleton. It can be done!

Lego, is it one L instead of 2? DD1 has the same issue. Ours begins with a g. How about yours?

No, it has an F instead of a PH. Just thought, SIL must have the same problem with her lovely MN approved name that has the Spanish one c instead of the English two.

I saw one of these threads slagging off a baby with the (OP thought misspelt) name of an element, except of course it is a perfectly normal Eastern European name.

There is a reason for these threads of course, the reason we all worry so much about choosing the perfect name is because we do all judge people on the names they choose, even if we'd never admit it and we don't want people to judge our children negatively because of their name.

Khaleesi (game of thrones). A coworker recently named her baby this.

I met a 2 week old Bruce recently. He is fostered. I think the druggie real mum named him. Poor Bruce barely wakes up and I asked his foster mum why he is so lethargic and she told me that he is still full of benzos, opiates, crack and whatever else mum was doing while pregnant.

Frank is an awesome name. Screw the haters.

But threads about lovely baby names are Ok? Don't understand why you are getting flamed OP ...each to their own...just cos you think the names awful doesn't mean you think the baby is awful....also people if you get upset about complete strangers views on your baby's name..DON'T PUT IT ON A PUBLIC WEBSITE!

I call my son Jeepster. It isn't his real name it is a pet name but I use it in public.
I also now a little boy called Frank he has a brother called Stan, I think they are are lovely names.

Kihanna - its not even a name. Just a sound. An ugly sound at best.

Not helped by her siblings being called equally awful names also beginning with K.

What is the obession with matching initals?

What is the obession with the letter K?

I agree that choosing names is hard and we shouldn't judge others.
Some people choose well known names that others find common or boring.
Some people choose more unusual names or even make up names just because they like the sound of them or they just like to be different. No matter what kind of name we choose there's always going to be someone who hates it.
Its a personal thing and we should keep negative comments to ourselves but I can't help feeling sorry for the 'James Bond' that was waiting in the same waiting room as us recently. ( sorry if he belonged to anyone here)

I like the name Reg

If I was able to have more babies I would have a Reg (obv a boy)

I did hear of a baby called chlamydia - I don't think it is particularly judgemental to say that sexually transmitted infections are not a great source for names.

Its less of an obsession and more of the topic title

Mrs I have no idea. I honestly don't care.

My sons name is on here but I don't go around telling people what it is on here as I know its not "MN worthy"

Could I give a fuck? I could, but I don't. I'm not forcing people to name their children the same. I don't like names that are loved here but that's fine as I'm not been forced to use them

If you don't want to discuss baby names, you may have wandered into the wrong topic.

Its like people moaning about Christmas being discussed in July, whilst in the Christmas topic.

What do you think happens in this topic if not discussing baby names?

Maybe you should hide the topic MrsDeVere.

Don't forget the ubiquitous FEMALE, Mrs.DeVere..

nevaeh is another classic

I received quite a hammering on here a while ago for suggesting 'Spike'. Apparently I was treating my unborn potential boy to a lifetime of misery for having a dogs name.

As it happens, my potential son is another girl so in the end, a non issue!

I had a dog called George as a kid, so I hope that the Cambridge's thought wisely of their choice and the pummelling on the playground that HRH will no doubt be subject to

I would still use Spike though, I bloody love it

There are lots of names I dont like, lots of them are popular in this topic.

My friend has a nevaeh

Yes, I'm patiently waiting for L-sha

I will never understand why MN hates names that starts with K.

I really thought a PP had said she knows someone called Lego. I'm now waiting for someone to tell me it is quite a common name in Greece or some such thing. Glad to realise it is a user name.

I did teach a Yurin once. I could never say her name without smiling.
