Recent terrible names

CharmBombExplosion

Some of the BMB birth announcements are awful, I saw a Chassity, Kimberlyn, Kooper and a Ryker (girl).  Yuck

I also recently saw (not a baby but met) a K'la (Kayla).


Worst baby names you have heard recently? Any you secretly wish you could use, but would never actually do that to your child?

My aunt's name, who passed away last year, was Artemisia. I actually really love her name, but could never use it for my child.

My cousin just named her daughter Tinsley. I hate it SO MUCH!

High school friend named hers Korah. ugh!

Ugh Tinsley is another trend I really wish would just stop

Artemis is already feminine, unnecessary to -ia it up.

I knew someone who named their son Orangejello (or-rahj-ah-low). Dumb. Idiots!

My boss's daughter just had a baby yesterday. They named her Severine. While a legit name, it will be butchered. It's French.

Also, just going to leave this right here.

I think Severine is beautiful and underused. It's French and some people may not know immediately how to pronounce it, but I think the correct pronunciation is not hard for Americans at all.

I noticed Londyn a few times on the BMB's. What's with that?

A lot of the names that come up on BmBs are record breaking bad. Then with everyone saying "you do what you want that's all that matters" they get zero actual advice so they think the names are wonderful.

Marlin- girl yes like the large fish
And I have seen these all going on girls- Wesley, Bradlea, Finn, a few Ryan, and Ryder

IRL I got a Kendall to join our family. It's wrong but I giggle inside each time my 5 year says it like Kindle. I do try to explain how to say it but it still comes out kindle.

boy -- Jamie (not James)

and last, but not least....

girl -- Addilynn Delanee Lexus-Ann

The worst one I've seen recently is...


Rourke

And it's a girl

Carazona5

When I was in second grade there was a girl in my class named Glitter. Then when I taught preschool we had a little girl named Gypsy. *sigh*. I'm sure both are strippers now.

I have to say, while I can't stand names like that, names that are too out there or spelled "cutesy", I also can't stand old boring names that a million other people already have or that sound like you gave birth to a 90 year old. I want uniqueness to a point but not so that it comes off strange. Because that middle ground area is hard to find, there are only 2 to 3 girl and boy names I actually like. But I won't say them here. Lol

The worst I have heard Recently is Journee
....I think it's hideous

I wish I was lying, I met the poor kid. Unless she lied to me about his name. Which was entirely possibly thinking back now.

ETA: words

I was on another forum and a woman has three girls named Adysen, Baylor, and Haidynn. Shudder.

WTF is up with all this Baylor nonsense, it's literally popping up a lot.  I admit I don't have an undying love for my university but I do have one for the Buffalo Bills yet I haven't named my children that.

Im surprised I haven't seen any "Aggie" as a name in this region.

Ssshhh don't give them any ideas!   Baylor, Berkeley, and Crimson seem to be the ones that have popped up in threads the most.  I side eye every.single.one.

Yeah, I shouldn't have put it in a "terrible name" thread. I really want to like it. It just sounds so harsh to me. And it means severe. The part I left out though is her middle name is Pierre...

My ex just named his second child Talon (boy). Is older brother is the infamous Jaxon.

Ends exactly like "Wolverine", but with "Say" instead of "Wol". (Does that make sense? I'm so bad at explaining pronunciation.)

If we're talking French, your ex just called his kid "heel" (like from a shoe).

Jagger....lol

oh,  Mave...yep spelled like that!

Saw this gem on a suggestion board that I scrolled through today... pronounced Hayden. What?

I dislike anything ending in -er or -son (though I can handle Jackson). This is not your child's profession or last name we're talking about! I have a really good friend called Forrest (female) and her SISTER is called Hunter. NOOOOO. ETA: Younique spellings of normal names are awful as well. I personally really like the name Nicola (NIC-uh-lah) but the Dutch pronounciation (NEE-coh-lah) really wouldn't work and it's also the name of a variety of potatoes, so...buh-bye Nicola.

Yes!  It's very pretty but I agree it's probably going to get butchered.

I returned to work after maternity leave this week. Pediatrics. I can't post the names here, but more than half that I saw deserve to be on this thread.

My thoughts exactly. But maybe it's just as well, with such naming skills.

Rabbitheart15

Googled it, and apparently the sister is named Adeline. Poor Knatalye.

My friend's friend named her daughter Timberleigh. Because, you know, Timber is such a cute nickname.

Justice for girls is popping up everywhere on BMB.

Dear friends have/had three dogs: Madeline, Bernice, and Eloise. Recently had a daughter: Brink.ley Stor.y.

I don't understand what happened. How is the dog named Eloise and the child named Brink.ley?!
