Awful Baby Names

[KMW08]

I'm not comfy posting on the baby naming board, but I really had more faith in people that I know IRL.

I have an acquaintance that had twins, a boy and a girl. Their names are Maverick and MaKenlea, the real kicker is that the last name is *McKent.  Last name is a close variation so that it can't be easily searched. MaKenlea McKent. AWFUL.


Another college friend is due in 4weeks with a little boy and she is naming him Harper. While I don't mind the name Harper, I just think it's awful for a boy.

Sweet, sweet SIL is due in April with boy/girl twins. Boys name is fine. Girls name is Analease..... Anal Ease..... She is out of state, and though we talk, we've never met so I don't feel comfortable telling her and DH won't touch the subject with a ten foot pole. I just keep hoping she'll see it before it's too late.

ETA: It's worth pointing out that baby girls name is a combo of her great grandmothers (Ana) and my SIL's name, which ends in 'lease' as well. But the spelling......... Ugh, would it kill her to add an extra N

Awful fandom taken to the extreme. These poor kids...

A friend of a friend recently had girl twins and named them Hero and Max.

ETA: *face palm*

[KMW08]

Those links are horrible! Poor children

calimomof1 I'm not a fan of those names, esp for a girl. Hero....I don't get it.

MrsAdventure I'm hoping SIL notices! When DH and I were picking out names we liked annalynn, but I couldn't get 100% on board due to the anal association!

I love talking about names! A few new babies in my life are Autzyn, Lolly and Cayd.

WOW

[zengal]

I can't believe these names happen IRL-

[littleapplemom]

Nevaeh is a favorite awful name of mine. A girl in my niece's class is named Ocean, another is River. No relation.

Isn't hero a female in mythology? I don't think it works as a modern name, but at least I get it. And maybe max is short for Maxine?

There was a girl in my local breastfeeding group on Facebook looking for a babysitter for her little boy. Achilles. He was also couldn't eat nuts, gluten, or refined sugar. What do you bet mom was also an anti-vaxxer?

[calimomof1]

briannea I didn't know that about the name Hero! And, sadly, this Max is not short for anything.

Poor, poor Achilles!

I worked with a girl who's name is Terror. She said it's actually been a problem in the past on resumes.

Thank goodness no!  She's actually really nice! 


Stacy33, I have no idea why!  She didn't seem to think it's because her mom doesn't like her or anything like that, but she really doesn't like her own name!

LOL!  You are my hero!  I love school house rock!!!

[npg1982]

My husband is a high school teacher and has a student named Shelkilya. Say that outloud. Insanity!

[KMW08]

Re Lolly, there was a local family with the last name pop. They named their kids lolly and soda.

At work yesterday a c.e.i.l.i.d.h come in....I dunno how you say this??

There's another family with names tamara (tomorrow), ta'evenin, taniija, and ta'yestaday

[jpinky9]

Oh my! Some of these names are just crazy! I feel bad for the kids as they start school and are grownup looking for jobs!

My sister is an er nurse at our children's hospital and she comes across some crazy names! She had a patient whose last name was Ring and the first name was diamond!! Diamond Ring! Ugh!

[ashleymm197]

DH once checked in a family and their son's name was Shithead (pronounced She-THE-ed)...but come on, the spelling... haha

[rosieb0514]

Here is a good one for ya....Secret Beaver. Poor little girl.

[calimomof1]

I just...can't!!! Poor kids!! My daughter (and I) have very normal names! Thank goodness!!

[pixie523]

Secret Beaver is my LOs name. What's wrong with it?




JUST KIDDING.

[sadie74]

One of my brothers dated a girl whose name was Jackie Imoff. Had her parents never heard that joke?!

[turtles7]

I feel like names should be reviewed for ridiculousness. I knew someone named Rainbow.

[ashleymm197]

when I was in high school, I worked at the tiny little restaurant and one of the cooks was this really old lady named Iona Kniple....I'm not even kidding. It's her married name, and one of the girls I went to school with was related to her. I would have hyphened my name!
