Well, recently I've read an article. These parent wanted to name their baby boy 4Real. The government won't let them have numbers in his name so now they plan to name him Superman!

What are some of the worst names of people you've either met her heard about. Here's my current list.

1. Superman
2. Ima Hog
3. Yura Hog
4. Jenna Till (almost my cousin, but then they pronounced both parts of the name together)

There was this old guy down the street who was named Wadley Duckworth III. I still find it hard to believe there were three of them...

celebrities give their kids the worst names.
Jermajesty (Jermaine Jackson), Pilot Inspektor (Jason Lee) and Audio Science (Sharyn Sossamon) come to mind.

When I was a baby, my mom met another new mom and you'll never believe what she named her daughter! Her name was Uhora, or if you pronounce it out, You-whore-a. (sweat) And the mom thought it was the prettiest name...

Two words: Moon Unit.

Um.. I can't think of any specfic names that I don't think kids should be named, but here are some things people should not be allowed to do with names, in my opinion.

1. Name twins with rhyming names... i.e. Kate and Nate.
2. Name someone after someone who is still living. It's just not right.
3. Give a frist name and middle or last name that rhyme/end in the same letter. Like, Hannah Anna Last Name or Will Mill. I really don't like rhyming names.

But about weird combos, I know this couple and their names are Sam and Ella. Which is kind of like salmonela... So, not cool, once again.

Yeah...

naming a boy's first name Reese, and then having your last name or midle name Rain.
Reese Rain..uhh...thats the worst name ive ever heard.

I knew one girl whose little sister's name was Dasani (personally I wouldn't enjoy being named after a bottled water company) and the strange thing about it is that the girl that I knew, and her brother, both had normal names - Anna and Seth, I think.
In elementary school, I knew a kid named Brito and everyone made fun of him. He was Mexican, or possibly Puerto Rican. I don't quite remember; it was ages ago.

In conclusion, I wouldn't name my kid Brito or Dasani. It sounds like they were fasting and/or were dehydrated when they had their kids... O__o

My mother was a labor and delivery nurse for about 25 years, I could give a list of bad names. But the top two, and I swear these are real:

1)Sh*thead
2)Female

Both named by couples for whom English wasn't the first language, neither pronounced the way they're spelled in said language, but the kids were going to be raised here where they would, indeed, be pronounced the way they were spelled, and were in for a lifetime of ridicule. At least until they were out of high school, 18, and could legally change the names, anyway....

I've heard about the sh*thead one! Did you read about it in Freakonomics? (I <3 that book super mucho.)

I don't know why I didn't mention this before, but Freakonomics has an entire chapter about names. It's really interesting. They have some stories about names and such. There were some really weird ones.

Now I'm wishing I hadn't forced my friend to borrow/read it...

I remember this story about a woman who didn't wanna have a child and she gave birth a baby girl who she hated. She named her Unelma Sirpa Leena [insert last word here]. That's awful because in finnish those names together form a sentence: Unelma Sirpaleena which means shattered dream.

Cruel thing to do to a child.

Also why? WHY DO PPL NAME THEIR KIDS AFTER LOTR CHARACTERS?????!

I have to say, my aunt is a teacher and she's told me names of kids in her class. The ones that come to mind are Male and Female (Molly and Fuh-Molly). Male is, of course, the boy twin, and Female is his sister. I just think that's cruel to call your children that. Just BEGGING to be laughed at.

Other name I think are cruel that are old timey names, like Agatha or Martha or Agnes (no offense to those who have those names). They make me think of old woman or witches.

Unisex names are bad too, like Morgan, Jesse, or Leslie. For girls they're fine, but I have met some people with names like that who are boys. They are made fun of al the time, even though their names CAN be a boy's name.

Other names that are bad are ones that can't be pronounced when looking at them. Or celebrity names, like Cocoa, Apple...those are just terrible. I can't help but feel sorry for them. Or laugh. (Yes, I realize I am a cruel and unusual person)

There are others, but none come to mind...

Heh, I have a friend who is dead-set on naming her future daughter Gertrude. (sweat)

I don't think it's wise to give your child a really common or popular name. Being the owner of one (Katie), I've always hated sharing my name with at least one other girl in my class each year, and it's certainly not fair to teachers.

Names that are spelled funky. Ugh. When writing name tags for kids' church, it used to frustrate me to no end when I'd waste nametags cuz the kid was Bryan, not Brian or Destinie instead of Destiny. You're dooming your son or daughter to having to correct people's spelling every single time they give their name!

My mom taught elementary school for a good while, and a co-worker of hers said he once taught a girl whose name was Sh*thead, but it was pronounced Shih-teed.

I imagine that would be pretty embarrassing - for both student and teacher - when the roll call for a new school year rolls around.

Teehee, I'm a Kayte instead of a Kate. By choice, no less! But I like it; the only teachers and what not I have to correct are the annoying ones anyway, so I enjoy giving them a hard time (cool)

Names that are "modern" and end in i. Kristi, Tori...gah. But as for funky spellings, I believe that Bryan is the original spelling, but we're so used to Brian...that's how we expect it.

As for names you can't pronounce, I'm guilty of that with my real name. I know, I'm a hypocrite. But my name is easily pronouncable, and many people have said that, but all my teachers seem to pronounce it the MOST annoying way. I've heard all variations from teachers and the kids in my class as they caught on to what annoyed me...

Hope, Banjo, Flower, Spring, (Insert one of the 12 months here).

my friend knows someone called shithead
but it was pronouned 'sheetha'
o.0

uhm
apple&moses? XD

I dont mind changing the spelling of names
unless it's just dumb
&i hate it when people put unnecessary 'y's in their name
moreso on RPs

Ayden instead of Aiden
Darryn instead of Darren
Kayden instead of Kaden
Rylee instead of Rylee
Jaymes instead of James
Dominyc instead of Dominic
Jayke instead of Jake
Dayvid instead of David

& I HAAATE seeing people misspell Alex
I don't know why?
Possibly because it's so overdone?
Alecs
Alecz
Alycz
Alicks
Alekz
Aleks

it just looks dumb.

You do not name your daughter Anita,

Simply for the fear of her marrying into the Cox family.

My friend named her three kids:

Azul, Genesis and Ceilo.

Genesis???? I kept trying to talk her out of that one. I don't remember all the kids middle names but they are equally weird. I remember that Ceilo is Ceilo Luna.

And their mom is a straight-laced conservative sort which makes the whole thing a lot stranger. I mean some hippy granola chick, I can see it. But not this girl. She is all about the rules.

Go figure.

Do not name ANYONE or ANYTHING Prudence. It's just...eek. O_o

Or Parrot. Did you WANT to make a nightmare of those kids' lives? >.<

No offence to anyone who has those names.

No first names that rhyme with surnames.

I've heard of a "Sparkle Arkle" If Sparkle wasn't a bad enough name for the poor girl, it rhymed.

Though I think sometimes really different names can work. One of my good friends is named Nova, and it suits her.

Ok. *giggles* I just remembered one. My mom has a job where she meets a lot of people, and one person she told me about was this one.

Fart Fong.

I'm not sure if that's the correct spelling, but that's how it sounds. Could you just imagine his school days?!

Oh and this one guy was named Bock. It's not as funny, but still. Use it as a pun...I did. "Hey, Mr. Bock. Are you going BOCK home?" Sad...

Oh and this one guy came with a check for "Chrisy" somethingorother. My mom goes, "Oh, is Christy your daughter?" He goes, "No...it's my name." o.O

_{[ LESLIE ] for a boy is just cruel, or [ ERIN ]. and i honestly don't get names like [ APHRODITE ] [ AMETHYST ] or [ RODOPHUS ] (sorry, jk rowling)}

I would feel quite bad for a child called Poindexter, or Warren Robling Duckworth III or something.

lmaooo @ all the names listed.
especially Brito.
haha.
hmm i'm going to have to say a name that if you put into google..the only result is that one person that you know.
makes it really easy for someone to find you.

the weird names i've heard..

danushe
akilah
jasmica

I went to school with a kid named Sh*thead. Poor girl. Even though I laughed so hard I cried when my teacher told me.

Honestly, I like some old names and spelling things different. I like to create names too. The one thing I can't stand are the ultra ghetto names. Names that the parents struggle to say. It just irks me and I see it alot where I live.

- Sunshine
- Kyd (pronounced Kid)
- Cocoa
- Rainbow
Any names after food, or people who weren't the greatest (like Napoleon, or Judas). Or names that are hard to pronounce.
I also hate names that sound one thing but are another. For example, I know this girl named Katie, but she spells it "Kayte" Its really annoying :/

Gabriel (and call him Gabe >.<)

He'd get picked on...

I know a girl named Katie, but they spell it "Kattie". My first reaction, "Why in the world, if you didn't want people to mispronounce it, would you name your daughter something that sounds like 'Catty'?"

It's so irritating because everyone mispronounces it. Gosh. I just want to.. whack her parents.. XD

That, and okay.. so I also have a friend named Eliza [awkward, yeah] but we went to a music camp this year, and the man pronounced it "Eleeza" when he did roll call..

My aunt works at a restaurant and one of the names of her customers she told me was Fuky Chick (pronounced Fucky Chick...) hopefully he grew up in another country and they didn't know what it meant cause he was asian...But when she told me the first time I didn't believe her.

I knew a kid named Alotta Tyme.
Swear to god.
People called him Al. But when a new teacher came, or something and his name was called.

we giggled.
couldn't help it.

My name is Tory,
I've been called Troy, Tony, and Tara.

>.<

Not a bad name, but I looked into it, and its mostly a guy name.

^ Tory is usualy short for Victoria^

I hate the name Humphrey. It so stupid but yet makes me laugh. It seem like you hump for free. I can't stand that name. I also dont like the name Bob because it is soooo plain.

Zowie Bowie o.O

Here in Australia theres a (or was, when I was an ickle thing) kids TV show with a big bear called Humphrey. He didn't have trousers, either (sneaky)

Now. Lets see.. Uh.

I like eccentric names. Though, things like Crystal Star and such do annoy me a wee bit. o.O

In a song there was a mother who named her boy 'Leaf'

I don't think I have any names that I just really despise except for my own middle name which is Jyzmine. Most people pronounce it Jizz-man because of the Y, but it' supposed to be Jazzmine. Just blame my mum. It is her fault after all, but no worries, because I'm changing my name soon. Ah, I just thought of a few names that drive me crazy. Names like: Apple, Pear, Peach, and any day of the week, have seriously got to go. Also, when people name their children characters from these shows or movies or games like...Final Fantasy, and LOTR..it's jut insane.

I'd have to agree with _Nadiya. The fruit names have to go. I only know of one celeb who's named their child Apple. But it wont be long before we have children named Grape, Pear, Peach, and Tutti-Fruitti. Ahh... The would will be taken over by someone named Tutti-Fruitti...

I went to school with a lot of people with oddball names though the ones that come off the top of my head is a friend whose name was Dang and her sister Tien [pronounced Ten]. O.o

There were also three sisters named Precious, Surprise, and Special. I couldn't blame them for wanting to be called Tara, Jean, and April. O.o

And believe it or not I went to school with a guy named Gaylord who we all knew as Lord. ^^

In a book (I think it was Life Expectancy, or something...) a clown named his kid Punchinello. You could almost forgive the kid for attempting murder later in life.

In the real world, I once met a girl whose surname was Testistocales (the spelling might be a bit off). I always wondered how she managed to survive adolescence...
