Re: Horrible names

  • @MissAva387‌ (let me preface this with I'm a HUGE Seahawks fan) Do you dislike because of the name, or because he slept with Russell Wilson's ex wife and the Hawks chose the player that won them the Super Bowl instead of a classless a-hole?

    Wow! Didn't know all of that! Its just the name that makes me shake my head... then to see that he is a third!! That means there are/were 2 more out there!

    Btw- I'm a NY Giants fan.. tough to admit but gotta stick by the boys
  • Loading the player...
  • My mother was a labor and delivery nurse and someone literally named their child Soda Pop.

    I don't like names like Wyatt, dalton, Colten, Mary...
  • My SD goes to school with a wizdom and a kesiah, WT ACTUAL F? I also cannot stand the popular names, there is always a train of madison's running through my house, i need a specification of which one when she invites them over.
  • I was filling out Emergency contact info for our new employee files today. Delisha.
    Not sure if it's de-leash-a or De-lish-a. I can roll with the first but if it is the second pronunciation. Just no. No one wants to eat you. Well.... yuck. Nevermind.

  • I'd say names that irritate me the most are the "son" endings for girls names along any other boy names used for a girl. I also cannot stand unisex names. I never understood why you'd want a teacher, potential boss, Dr office, etc to not know whether they are looking for a male or female.

    I know a Hudson. Like the river. It's a girl.

    I just thought about how much I love the name Hudson--but for a boy. I probably wouldn't go with it just because it starts with H, and DD's name starts with H. I don't want to commit to naming all of my children with H's...or have people think I want to do that.

  • The worst to me are names that become horrible nicknames, for instance Fischer. I wouldn't like being called fish all of my life lol.
  • When I used to do intake at a hospital, I came across a woman with the name Heavenly Joy. I just stared at the paper trying to figure out why her parents named her that?!
  • I have a cousin and his name is guy.. they also named their son guy jr.. I just can't like it... "hey guy..."
  • A family at the school where I am a teacher has called their kids; Baby Girl, Princess and Daddy's Boy. No Joke - Those are the names on their Birth Certificates!! I find it impossible to keep a straight face in the classroom.
  • I loathe the name neveah, its horrid & for some reason the parents always feel the to explain to you that's heaven spelled backwards. Yeah i know, we get it.... -_-
  • I've worked in the public school system off and on. Some of the more unique names I've come across are:

    Lovends. He had two little brothers named Beloved and Welloved.

    I also knew a kid named Kalel Anakin.

    I currently live near a Cherokee Res. So
    the names that come out of there are interesting:
    Tahnanah
    Awee
    Abree
    Tsalagi

    But the last names are the best:
    Walkingstick
    Wildcat
    Climbingbear
    Bigmeat

    My husband knows a guy named Johnson Bigmeat. No joke!
  • These are hilarious! One that really sticks out for me is a family friend who called her daughter: Melania. Melanie + Narnia is all i think about when i hear it... Along with 'why?'.
  • I know some kids with terrible names, mostly girls : Kayzin, Elliette, Callahan, Kayline... Also, just curious, I spelled my daughter's name Gwenyth... is that spelling one that you ladies would consider terrible?
    Gwenyth is a real name...like Gwenyth Paltrow, right? I don't think your on the terrible list...lol

    I worked with a guy named Master. It was surreal. He wasn't anyone's boss. He unloaded our trucks. But it is really strange to call a coworker Master all the time. My favorite was my friend who told me she overheard a mom calling to her young son in a store, "Courvoisier" :::shudder::: I love Mignon. And I like Wolfgang. I don't plan on using either but I want to high five parents that do. I can appreciate it if you have a cultural or personal link to a name that is not the norm. I think spelling and pronunciation are important. The uncommon name has to be accessible to the majority. I don't like Ryker or Axel but I get that these are legit names and if that's your cultural heritage it's okay to go for it IMO. I have TBH I can't help myself from a side eye reflexively even though logically I understand.
    I know a Couvouiser and a Remy (like Remy Martin) and their mothers name is Champagne!!! SMH
  • I knew a John Wayne jones...
  • I knew a girl in high school named Asia. As I thought about it, it seemed like a pretty name. Then I found out her brother is named Egypt. Kinda weird to me..

    Also, another girl I knew in hs ended up changing her name to Aspen. Like Aspen Dental. I never understood why.


    I don't think the name Aspen is bad. Its a place name and a type of tree. Then again, I've never heard of aspen dental.
  • It amazes me how many nurses tell their friends names of their patients, that could be a major Hippa violation...lol .... Anyways I hate the name Isla , zeeke, and when people use last names for first names "Jensen, Rodgers, Wilson, Smith" it's like having 2 last names for one name lol
  • My cousin played baseball with a kid named Da'great. I thought that was interesting. And I had a little girl in one of my classes named Quinterreia. I wonder how long it took her to learn to spell that.

    I really don't like when people name their kids after something that can't afford. You never see a lady driving a Bentley with a kid named Bentley.

    Also, question. How would you pronounce the name Jad?? I know a couple who just named their little boy Jad but I have no clue how that would be pronounced. Like Jade (even though it's missing the 'e') or like Lad with a J?? Those are my guesses.
  • I have a family member named Americus! She's the cutest little girl but I feel bad for the name she was given.
  • Nevaeh, Pepsi, Harley

    Americus is unfortunate. But it's the name of the little girl in the book Where
    the Heart is. I knew a girl named America who went by Erica.
  • I'm a teacher so I have heard some doozies and seen some ridonculous spellings but the worst would have to be a little girl legally named Tinkerbell and a new boy in kindergarten named Casper....wtf??

  • A friend of mine's cousin daughter is named Serenity and there was guy in my local paper who's name was Scorey.

  • Haymish, why on earth? it's sounds like corned beef hash to me for some reason. Or Rainy River....I understand the quest to come up with unique names but it can get a little out of hand. My DS name is Wyatt Kaiden, my family was aghast at his middle name and at my DD which is Isabella Adriel, pronounced A-dree- el. They all said it was too weird and so on. I like kind of quirky unique names for middle names, but I love traditional old school names for first names.
  • I can't understand the name neveah either, so weird to me
  • I know someone named Rainbow Bubbles! She loves her name and tells you right away when someone asks about it that yes, it's her real name and her parents were hippies. I

    I think it's weird when people give the last name as the first name. I went to school with an Aaron Aaron. Or like Philip Phillips.

    Yup. My husband has the exact same first and last name and it frustrates the shit out of him.  People usually refuse to believe it's his real name, which is annoying.  He also shares the same first name with my dad.  Needless to say we will never be having a junior for that reason haha.

    I knew a bill williams once. He obviously went with bill because he's real name was William williams. Hahahah
  • My mother was a labor and delivery nurse and someone literally named their child Soda Pop.

    I wonder if they loved the book "the outsiders"
  • Suede Leather! Seriously. My friend's neighbors kid. Doomed for life!
  • A guy who who works for my husband is named "Mike Hunt" (I think a guy on TV has this name too) say it. seriously.

    There was a kid on MTV whose dad was named Pete and he was named Repete...

    Anything Princess.  My company has far too many Princesses.
  • Our dogs name is Chewbacca. We seriously thought about it for a couple min naming, if it's a boy, him Anakin :) bahahaha! That quickly went away.
  • Female, La-a, Orangejello, etc are urban myths.

    Nope unfortunately not lol.
    My grandmother worked at a social in security office in the 80s and came across twins,
    Lemanjello (lah-mahn-ja-lo) and Oranjello (Or-on-ja-lo).
    She had no sense of humor so she did not make this up or to carry on a joke lol
  • My boss named his kid Declan.

    I feel like they should start shoving him in lockers for practice :)
  • Last name thyme (pronounced time) twins first names: Justin so like just in time, and Indinicka (pronounced in-dee-nick-a) so like in the nick of time - no middle names. Who would do this to their child?
