Earvin, Roberta and Gertrude. Granted, they were my grandfather and great-aunts, respectively, but my grandmother on that side was Josephine, which is a lovely name.

My nephew and niece are Mikah and Khloe. Not bad names, but idk why my sister chose that spelling.
Oh also my nephew's MN is Rain. And their last name starts with a S. So his initials are MRS. I really tried to talk my sister out of it, I promise I did.

Grandmother's name was Irma. I actually know of two others, one that is around my age - 30. Only other is cousin's LO's mid name is Ty're. I'm just not into apostrophes in names. Brother and fathers' middle name is Wayne.

Clarence & Hazel (I know it's gotten more popular recently but I detest it) are the only ones that make me cringe. The rest are just standard older/traditonal names (Mary, Dorothy, Helen, Catherine, Russell, George, John)
My sister legally changed the spelling of her name from "Amber" to "Ambur." I always feel the need to make a footnote that my parents did actually know how to spell.
This was my great grandpa's name but I think he went by something else. I dont' really have any horrible names in my family. I have 3 younger cousins (high school and younger) that are sisters: Kaylee, Kelsey & Corrie. Not the worst names...but overused and all of the /K/ sounds are too much since their parent's names have the /K/ sound too.
My mom and her twin brother go by Christy and Chris. The names are fine by themselves, but I'm not into the whole "naming your twins almost the same thing" bit.
MHs grandparents are Eugene and Laverne, Clarence & Martha. My grandpa's middle name, uncle's middle name, and cousin's middle names are all Uvale. Cousin's wife opted for a different middle name for their son.

I don't take one single minute for granted.
My MN is Marie, after my grandmom. I hate it but I loved my grandmom so I don't mind it too much. I have a cousin whose baby's name is Heean. We also have an Alonzo. Francis is another I can't stand. Tons of my relatives have that name, mainly as mn's.

Sa-Royal, and thats what he goes by, no NN! My entire family tried talking her out of it, but she insisted!

Perfecta and Segunda are the worst ones, I think. Segunda goes by her mn- Coralia. Yep, she was the second born.
Others are NMS, but not terrible in and of themselves.
Niece Patience and male cousin Rylee
my family in PA has pretty bad names:
Lyman, Leon, Burt
We have an amazingly great selection of family names. Matthew, James, William, Jacqueline, Anne, Sandra, Alexander.
But DH's great grandma and her two sisters were named Agnes, Mildred and Gertrude. No joke.
And one of my cousins named her youngest girl Jordyn Skylar. Ick.
Not in my family, but DD goes to daycare with sisters named....

Grandpa's middle name is Manfredo, which is not so great. We also have a bunch of Armands, which is NMS.
My great-grandmother's name was Modestina, which is weird, but I secretly love it. watch out, hypothetical DD#2!

My great-grandmother was Ruby Jewel (FN and MN).

Guess is probably the worst I can think of. GUESS!
And the funniest part is, when his parents had #2, if it was a boy they were thinking Levi. Guess & Levi.

I don't take one single minute for granted.
I have a Buford and an Otis in my family too! Though, Otis was pronounced Ah-tis.
my dad has twin cousins named Dianne and Deanne. not bad names, but not what I'd want to name twins.
My great Uncle Bud's given name is Guy Elmer LN III. Fortunately he had four daughters so the name will die out with him.
DH's great g-ma's name was Ingaborg. He keeps it on our name list, God help me!
Ingaborg was the name of a very mentally instable character in Roberto Bolano's 2666. That's all I can think of now.
