Things to NEVER name your child!

Maddeegal

Okay, so I've been on a name binge lately trying to find the right name, yet everywhere I turn someone says "I would never name a kid that," or some other thing, but most the time it is something that isn't that bad, so I thought really... I'd rather name them that then something else... Like
Merry Christmas
Tragedy (yes this happened) or
Sharon Dicks... Yes, I know someone actually named Sharon dicks and even trying to be mature I still can't help, but laugh when my husband makes fun of her name.. If you don't get it well, read it again.. Haha
Anyways, what are some names you would never name any child? Like ever!

An old classmate of mine was named Monday. Also had a lightning and a strawberry at my school. They were brother and sister and their last name was blond. Seriously what were those parents thinking!

Nova Kane (I know someone who named her daughter this...seriously)

My neighbors kid is named "Xavier Ray" and they call him x-Ray..the names aren't so bad, but you have to meet these people to fully understand how ridiculous their logic is. And I hate a teacher in 1st grade named Rita Book. I'm assuming she was a Rita before she married Mr Book but it was still pretty funny.

Apparently, no generation of people who've walked the earth are immune to terrible names:

A Boy Named Humiliation: Some Wacky, Cruel, and Bizarre Puritan Names

Nothing like naming your kid "No-merit" to really start 'em off right.

My sister knew someone named Chrystal Shanda Lier...REALLY people

hemeyer31

I'm curious as to what names people are telling you they'd never use??

I know someone who works for the county and has seen:
Bill-Clinton Barak-obama (first and middle)
Cash Money
Vagina ( they pronounced it va-geena)

In high school there were a pair of siblings named Princess & Angel. I'm
not going to spell out the last name but when you sounded it out it was basically Midget. Please, do not name your daughter Princess

Ollila49

I know recently in the news there was a story about a court order to try and change two names some families had chosen. One was Adolf Hitler and the other was Messiah. Really people.

KTdid81

One of our clients is named Hummingbird.

Double posting but I just looked her up on FB and realized she has an older brother. Named Turbo. Turbo Midget.

I SWEAR I'm not making this up.

Dude Laycock for a boy and Baby Jean for a girl. Poor kids.

Maddeegal

Oh my gosh, these comments are making me laugh so hard! Thank you all, keep it up!

@hemeyer
Someone told me my names were tasteless and too normal on a thread about baby names, I think she was referring to Ava, just cause it is popular and she thought I should pick different more inventive names... I agree about it being popular just not tasteless, my BFF is gonna name her daughter Ava though so I'm not gonna do that. My other names are Lyla and Scarlett, I also have Aurora as my DH favorite, she didn't like any, oh well, back to horrible names!

I'm fairly positive that NO kid has ever complained that their name was "too normal."

I went to law school with a girl names Makeba. Makeba isn't my style but I think it is a pretty South African name.

Seriously they were setting their children up to strippers at birth! Fantasy really!! I don't mind serenity, but still!

So I remembered a girl my brother dated in high school, her name was
Disney, I didn't mind it, but I would never ever do it!

Yenemous

Crystal Beth. Seems harmless but the reason she named her daughter that is because she did A LOT of crystal meth and she thought it was freaking hilarious. True story.

linzerd

I knew a guy once named Dick Goff and his dad is Jack Goff. There's also a Dr. Out there named Dr. Happy Thanksgiving Reynolds. Seriously. Google her. We were talking at work today about this story that came out a few years ago of a teacher taking attendance in class and a little girl's name being Le-a so the teacher said "Leah" so the little girl stands up and says "my name is Ledasha. The dash isn't silent!"

Missfunball

Teacher name her daughter California...not so bad until you realize my teachers last name was Gold. California Gold. >,<

We were originally going with Hunter for boys name....then realized it was terrible with our last name. Hunter Berry. No...just no.

Soon2BMrsDelgado

My great aunt and uncle are Harry and Mary Lamb.. Not horrible but funny. My sister had a teacher whose husbands name is Harry Glasscock.. Lol why would you do that to your poor child

orriskitten

A former co-worker's father's name is Santa Claus. No affiliations to the North Pole, though.

Ahutch428

I had a student last year whose legal name was Daddy, I also had one named emagene, not bad until she said it's pronounced like "imagine". And a friend this year at another school has a student named Baby Daddy but goes by BD... I don't know what these parents are thinking!

matitice

DD attends school with a girl named Shimmer. Apparently Shimmer has a brother named Dark Moon. To each their own I guess but we definitely won't be adding Sparkle or Bright Sun to our family, lol.
