So I'm at work right now and I just heard the worst names on two little boys that I've ever heard! Sargeant and Neighbor. Yep. No lie. Think I threw up in my mouth a little. Happy Saturday everyone
By far the worst I've seen recently are brothers: Prophet Foley and Credence Cross. They have two brothers with similarly awful names (one is Lazarus something) but those were the worst two.
When I worked in daycare, a mom had three daughters names Cherokee, Dakota, and Navajo. Pretty sure they were not Native American, and even if they were......
Once had a toddler named Aivah in my class, pronounced "Ava"
An HR rep at my work once did an interview with a girl named Diamond Ring
I don't think any of these names are bad individually (okay, maybe the last one) ... but when they're all part of the same family I think it's ridiculous. A guy I went to high school with is a history buff and his four kids are:

Lincoln
Reagan
Kennedy
Nixon
Yep, I used to work for a man (9 years ago) whose children were named; Madison, Jackson, and Reagan. At the time I thought it was kind of cute... but now I don't, at all.
So because there is an article written about it, no one has ever done it? I'm confused on what your point is?
My point is that is a proven myth, as many on this board will corroborate. You did not meet someone named Shithead. Snopes is a site that disproves commonly held myths and assumptions. Whenever a thread starts about worst names heard, someone always comes along to tell the story of how they swear they know someone named La-a, Shithead, Lemonjello and Orangejello, on and on. These urban legends are based on racist jokes passed down and later adapted as "fact." You will find that I am not the only person to point this out.
To be clear, I mean your point aside from your need to argue with people. Bc that is apparent all over the board.
Because when people post stuff like they know a La-a, or a Vagina or a Shithead, they don't actually know a person named that. They've heard it second hand, and there's no actual evidence to corroborate it. But the stories surrounding these names always either play up socioeconomic status or race as part of the reason behind them. Basically these stories exist to make racists laugh and feel better about themselves.
SSA has no publicly available records to support any of these names, (Though there is Ladasha, probably because keep spreading these tales instead of just letting them die)
When there are terrible name threads, unless you have actually SEEN the name, you probably shouldn't share it.
On the off chance you saw a "Shithead", I'd wager his parents don't speak English, or barely speak it. And I don't think it's funny.
I read an article earlier today about a young woman who died recently from a brain eating amoeba. While the story was both sad and terrifying, I was distracted at first by the girl's name: first name Koral; last name Reef
Re: worst names I've heard all year!
My apologies to the mom who is using this name
Brothers: Saint and Deacon
Triplets: Knightliana, Knilliana, Knatliana (with a brother named Ralph...WTF?!?!)
...somedays I just go to work for the comic relief.
After a gun.
