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?

I don't hate any names if you know someone with a name then the name becomes the person so I wouldn't like Myra because of the single notorious one.However the little Ptolemy [Tolly] I know is delightful and his name is just his name.

recently I had to settle on a "Special Sister" trolley token and was gutted that my sister could get one with her name on it.

This made me cry.

What's the big deal about saying what names you don't like. No one's saying they don't like the kids. Sheleigh is one I heard the other day, pronounced 'shu-lay' and I don't like Kyle, Kieran, Kailum --- any k names for some reason.

Moomins, I love the name Kara.

In fact, I like quite a few K names.

So there.

names that really put my teeth on edge....hmm
ok
"Oli" invariably a spiteful little bully with a blow dried sideways fringe
"Toby" just yuk, wet wet wet
brb when i have thought of some more

Dusty-ray

oh yes "Ben" so wet it is dripping

Thanks Sera, I like it too although growing up I preferred dsis name

Hebe. I know it's popular on here, but for me personally, it's a big no.

I thought that Kara and Cara were actually different names that just happen to sound the same when said in English?
Cara having an Italian/Gaelic root, meaning friend (mia cara - my friend) and Kara having a Greek root, meaning pure?

My ds has the middle name Frank. It is a fantabulous name.

Problem is, if you ask for commentd then people either have to be honest and risk offending someone, otherwisr you just have to say 'oh Faulua-Fanjo'. Sounds lovely.

KNew it was just à matter of time till my DS's name appeared

Can everyone who posted here slating names, post their kids names for opinion? Just interested to see what track record you have to judge names.

Devon I wasnt actually saying poo was a name (or an awful name)

I was replying to another poster who said she'd heard the name melena, and that all medical people know what that means.

Poo

The only other karas ive known have been caras, pronounced the same. People do think the real spelling is with a c.

There was a thread on here once about it, of course Kara was deemed a chavvy spelling

Shows how much those people know, doesn't it Moomins. So smug judging whilst actually being a bit thick

noone would bat an eye at a kayden, kallum connor, jaden etc where I live and im sure plenty of them have managed to find employment regardless of what mn thinks

i bet people are just getting annoyed now cos i threw in some middle class favourites that were not spelt with a K.
honestly i do not care what anyone calls their child.

MiniMonty ...

I,d report your post, but really it should be left to stand

Come on then, MiniMonty, do share your childrens names..

What an unpleasant post.
