I will start with this gem from Facebook:

1. hosted by the mom (I know how we all feel about this)
2. scantily clad with her older child
3. "here ye here ye" slays me

For me the worst part of this one is that this chick is from north Jersey. Way to help keep up our image, "Charisma". *head desk*

I know. She's actually a friend of someone I went to college with. North Jersey represent....but not like that!

Have we talked about Pilot Inspektor and Audio Science yet? Stupid celebrities who can't give their kid a real name.

My friend named her baby girl Alexander. Why why, Major side eye. Alexandra is such a pretty name.

Those onesies are gross.

Someone in my OB's office named their baby girl Maxwell. Nope. Maxine, perfectly fine girls name. I would even consider it acceptable in the middle name position (both of my girls have traditionally male middle names that are family names). But I can't deal with Maxwell on a girl! I think someone said we have Jessica Simpson to thank for that one?

..... Just why. Kinda like Jessica Simpson and Maxwell Drew. Poor kid got 2 boy names.

I saw this on STFU Parents site. I hope it's fake, but you never know nowadays. My DH and my Dad still talk about these names!

My sister once worked with someone named "Seymour Weiner"

ETA: He had a driver's license to prove it.

I freaking HATE baby clothes that have sex reference on them. Kids already grow up so fast, do we really need babies wearing clothes that say "blow job"? They can wear shit like that when they are being idiots in college. It's gross when they are children.

There was a rep at my old job named Ivonna Bangham. No joke. Legal name and all. We had to run through social security and didn't think it would come back a match, but it did!

DBonfante

These are pretty bad. I completely agree with the sexual onsies. I'm all for a good joke but really on your child. I can only imagine my mothers reaction if I thought that was ok.

gutsysneakers

Two of the names of OBs of my friends are Dr. Bajaj and Dr. Harry Beaver....seriously. I guess they felt a calling towards the medical profession re: vaginas. 

kat8805

My mom worked with a guy named Richard Sieman, and of course, there is no other nn he could have used... Except Dick. He went by Dick Sieman.

DH's cousin named his daughter Logan Tyler. Ok so Logan can go either way but when you pair it with Tyler it makes it a boy's name. I wouldn't have thought twice about a Logan Marie or some other girl middle name.

yeah I remember reading about Maxwell when she was born and thinking how nice finally a celebrity gave her baby a normal name... And then I remembered Maxwell was a girl!

I knew someone that wanted her twins to have their names start with Z, Zamaree and zavier, she didn't know how to spell them so she asked us. We tried googling the names but nothing popped up. I still don't know how to really spell them. I told her she needed to figure it out and let birth certificate know.

Then there was a patient that misspelled Virginia to Virgina : /

Not sure about the first name but the second one is actually an X name, Xaver, if it's the name I think she wanted.

Hipster names are all the rage in my area. Case in point: "May-Pop."

Sorry, kid.

Empireceo

I do not hate Gisela Kjersti in the slightest. Waaaay better than Forever or my almost-name: Billie Jean. It was the #1 song the week I was born. :-&

pistolpackinmomma

DH jokingly suggested Bobby Jo for our baby's name because it can go either way. Just no. We're country but not that country.

lrmrtn

I once worked with a Richard Butt. He didn't go by Dick unfortunately...

momo214

My dad wanted me to be Burt. I was born during the height of Sesame Street and being compared to Burt and Ernie my whole life would have been terrible. Now with his first grand baby on the way he swore he would call him Burt no matter what we named him. Luckily we found out baby is a girl.

There's an OB practice in my area - Weiner, Weiner and Dicker. Not remotely kidding. (See screen shot)

The nurses at the hospital call them big weiner and little weiner (father and son) and according to my OB, little weiner has a complex about it.

Mamazon2014

One of the high schools in my home state had a teacher named Richard Head who liked to be called Dick.

Also my dad wanted to name me Jessie because my last name was James... Thank god my mom vetoed that one.

My grandma also wanted me to encorporate her name into LO's name if he had been a girl. She's Dutch and her name is Jacoba, pronounced Yak-o-bah. I love my gram dearly, but no.

I once read an article of a woman naming her daughter LaPlacenta. She had never heard the word Placenta before and thought it was pretty.

While trying to google the article (which I wasn't able to find), I found these gems that popped up as suggestions. Um??

True: my mom took care of a baby named placenta as a NICU nurse.

My coworker's wife is expecting and before they found out if it was a boy, the girl name they picked out was Eden. Lovely name, except I had to point out that their last name wouldn't really go well with the name Eden. Their last name is Dix. They seriously didn't notice until I pointed it out.

CamrynnsMommy

Girl I was BFFs with in HS is having her 3rd & 4th children, twin boys, with new boyfriend. She has two other boys, each have different fathers. Current baby daddy has four children already, each by different mothers. Old BFF just sent out a FB e-vite to her baby shower.

Tacky or no?

A girl I went to high school with had a baby last week and named her U'Neek...ummm ok.

My favorite names that I've seen IRL: Tyranny and Monoxide (nn Mono). A name from a girl in my DH's HS graduating class was Kerosene (Kher-aus-oh-knee)--she named her daughter after a word she found on a tank near some trains, or some thing.

Also, we had a family who behaved a lot like the Dugger family and gave their kids the same first initial of J (father's first initial as well). The mother, who did not have a J first name, told us that her husband suggested changing her name to a J name by adding it to the beginning of her birth name. So Andrea would be J'Andrea or Elise would be Jelise. She put her foot down and said No!

@elizabe519 my maiden name is Dix and when my brother was thinking of names, before they found out my neice was a girl, he said he liked the name Richard.... I had to point out the nn. We had enough problems in school with that last name

Not a baby related one, but I had a 'friend' who threw herself a housewarming party. Which is fine, except she asked for gift cards or cash presents on the invite! And to top it off, it was only like a month or so after she got married. Somehow I think she misunderstood the point of a housewarming party... 

madelined633

My brother in law is a cop and dealt with a pair of brothers- Lemonjello and Orangejello (pronounced la- mon- gel- oh, and or- on- gel- oh).

My mom is a teacher and had a student named Abcde (pronounced like abb-ci-dee).

Puke.

There's an OB at my friend's practice named Dr. Eder (pronounced "Eater"). Hurts my soul a little.

This is actually on baby name lists online. Someone finally told me how to say it. WTAF!

@MK1013‌ ha. I know a Jon Johnson, a Kelly Kelley and an Adele Adelle. The girls obviously married into that name. I would think they would want to keep their maiden name in that case!

FlemDance

One of my dancers' last name is George. Her father's first name is George as well.

Yes. George George.
