My IVF Journey
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)
I love the name Hazel.
We also don't have anything too out of the ordinary. Rapp and Lagger are the only stand outs.

I remember cringing when i was looking at the family tree my grandma had made up, and if I would've known i had a great-great-great aunt named Ella, I would've chose that instead of Bella for DD (they were contenders)
My grandfater's name was Gaylord Lynn. He used to tell us grandkids he would pay us $1,000.00 to name our first son that name. First of all I would need WAY more than that to name my son Gaylord Lynn....and sorry grandpa 4 great-granddaughters in the family....no boys in sight!
The only truly terrible name that comes to mind is my cousin's daughter, Azriel.
Some people think my sister and great-grandmother share an awful name, Arah, but I think it's pretty. My great-grandmother hated the name so much, she went by her MN---Alberta.
The only truly terrible name that comes to mind is my cousin's daughter, Azriel.
Isn't that Garmagel's cat from the Smurfs?
The only bad ones that I really don't like in our family are my paternal grandparents- Gertrude and Cletus. They named my dad Michael... not surprisingly
We have others that are really dated (Chester, Estelle...) but that I don't think are horrible at all, just nms.
Re: What horrible names are in your family?
I don't think these are horrible at all!

Estelle (great-aunt)
Effie (great-grandmother)
Melvin (grandfather & father)
Shirley (mom)
Lauretta (aunt)
I love the name Hazel.

My husband's estranged cousin named her newborn Promise Hope.
Although I like some of these names it's the spelling that gets me. My sister named her 4 kids
Bronwyn
Brycesyn (it wouldn't be so bad if she spelled it normal)
Aurynn
Aspynn
But, I am not into super normal names either since my son is named Silas.
Janae (pronounced Juh-NAY)
Addison (sorry, I know that's a popular one, but I think it stinks)
I remember cringing when i was looking at the family tree my grandma had made up, and if I would've known i had a great-great-great aunt named Ella, I would've chose that instead of Bella for DD (they were contenders)
One bad name I remember was Maude. Ew.
There were others but I blocked them out lol
