Dear God, these poor kids!! Something tells me that if your parents gave you one of these crazy names, that's probably not (unfortunately) your biggest problem in life.
Not nearly as crazy, but Triton and Thor (not in the same family, thankfully). Idk why, but my personal pet peeve of current popular baby names is Brinley and all of the different spellings I've seen...Brynnli in particular bothers me the most (it doesn't help that I think her father is a douche anyway), LOL!
Ther was a little girl in line behind us at the grocery store this last weekend who name was Omen. I'm just not sure that's the best name I've heard, like ever.
I've heard (don't know if it's true) that another new name trend like Abcde, is people naming their kids ESPN, like the channel...and pronouncing it Es-pin. hmm.
This isn't nearly as bad as most of the names here, but I once knew a guy whose first name was Steven, last name Stevens. I never had the gumption to ask what he thought about that, but my husband and I won't do that with our kid, our last name is Elliott.
Wasn't there an Olympic runner a couple years back who's name was La'chante D'a Moore? Something like that. I remember seeing it and laughing because it translates to "The Song of Love"...I remember thinking it was kind of a literal name for what a baby is the product of, haha.
Also, not a baby, but I know a woman who frequents my mom's workplace who legally changed her name to I Am the Ocean. No joke, I've met her.

I also once knew a kid named Jihad which I feel like naming your kid after an act of war is probably not ok...I hope they never try to take him on a plane with a name like that.
I had an employee named Kwankilla pronounced quon-keela, a women with the given name Pepsi, a Unishate pronounced (U-neesh-uh-Tay) it's been awhile since I have had any really good ones though! These were like 6 years ago.
Well my husband wants to name our baby Remington Hunter if it's a boy... I'm not too fond of it but I think Remi is a cute shortening of it. I think it's a little too unique and I've never met anyone named Remington. But it's better than Lincoln and Hamilton which are his next choices! Haha. Hamilton wouldn't be too awful but if he's a chunky kid they'll call him Hammy or other pig names and I just won't put my baby through that.
My mother also had an elderly woman client named Tiger. I'm not sure that's how she spelled it because she was French, but still her name was tiger.
I remembered another one, my MIL gave me a newspaper article about a baby girl that was born right after the Ohio State Buckeyes won the championship game this year, the parents named their daughter Scarlett Grey. (For those of you not familiar with Ohio State University, the school colors are scarlet and grey.)

We had Remington picked for a boy's middle name! We are having a girl, but Levi Remington was our choice for a baby boy! Love it!
I'm from the Oct 15 board but I lurk here because I'm due very early October. Anyway my husband loves the name Xerxes for a boy. Seriously? Anytime he says it I get so so mad at him (like I want to punch him haha). I would never ever name my kid something weird like that.
The names I have seen here make me sad for humanity
I used to work at a school with a girl named Indiana Jones. I thought it was pretty epic, actually.
Another funny thing- I know a lot of couples giving their daughters really cutesy names like Jaxlee, Loxlee, Nixee, Braxlee- basically it has x's and ee's in it. I can only imagine there will be a joke about white mom names someday since a lot of these names floating around haha.
Re: Crazy Baby Names!
La-a is another incredibly racist urban legend. Just like PP pointed out about the other three.

But my current favorite is Navenceky. It's a first name, pronounced Na-vin-ski like a Slavic last name.
