Cruelest Baby Names
Share
Come on, lay it on me. Your votes for the worst names. It's so subjective, really. Well…to a point.
My sister heard of these twins, named:
Orangejello
and
Lemonjello
Yes, Orange Jello and Lemon Jello.
Only, they were pronounced:
o-RAN-jel-lo
leh-MAHN-jel-lo
Brock Lee. Parents didn't run it by anyone before the kid was born…oops.
Those people who named their son adolf hitler, they have a daughter name aryan nation too I heard. Bunch of crazies! Poor kids.
Before my youngest niece was born … before they knew it was a girl … my sister and her hubby picked Wolfgang for a boy name. I realize this is an actual name, and possibly a quite common one back in the day in a certain part of the world … but I was horrifed! It didn't sound good at all with their last name, either. Imagine my happy dance when she called to say they were having a girl!
I have a college friend whose last name is Brothers. She named her son Warner. Seriously, Warner Brothers.
A friend of mine told me about a family that she used to babysit for in California who named their two daughters:
Trixie {first name} Pineapple {middle name}
and
Superstarfive {first name only, no middle}
If that's not cruel, I don't know what is. Those girls are destined to be made fun of their whole lives and then grow up to be strippers or porn stars.
Great topic!
Oh, and here I was expecting to find your sister. Can only assume you girls are being all crazy, exploring camera angles, setting up the quirky script, eatin' Mark's cooking and playing with lighting.
Anxiously waiting, to see what the Production Gals have in store, Cool Mom style.
Appearantly, several poor little French girls are called "Clitorine" …
I always chuckle when I see Milton Bradley playing in the MLB, and there was a gal on a reality show a while back named Candida. As in yeast infection. Come on people.
An aquaintance named her boy Logan, which would have been fine except she spelled in Logyn. Everytime I see it I get an itch…near my…Clitorine?
My nephew's name is Chevy after his grandfather's car dealership. *ick* A coworker named her son Cash, not fond of that one either.
A friend's high school classmate named her daughter "Tragedy".
A former coworker with an inscrutable Polish last name gave his daughter a bastardized Italian word as a name (Ferah) and named his son with the French word for bounty (Bonte). Oh how kind it is to give your child both first AND last names that people can neither pronounce nor spell…
And my last name used to be the same as that of a father-son Hollywood actor duo. My first name synched up with the son, and my brother's matched up with the father's. It helped for restaurant reservations in LA when I still had that last name, but happy to have a more anonymous name now!
My flatmate went to school with a girl called Ophelia Bottoms.
Amanda the jello names are true! One of my friend's mom's taught them in Texas. She also had a student named Female. (Fe Molly) They parents didn't speak much english and when my friends mom said "what a neat name how did you come up with it" they said "my baby come with name."
My Sunday school teacher's co-worker named their daughter Crystal Chandy. Their last name was Leer so…
Crystal Chandy Leer
And there was actually a kid in my high school with the middle name of S***. WHO does that to their sweet baby??
The Brock Lee name? That is actually my nephews name. The middle name is his grandfathers and they REALLY wanted it. We tried to talk them out of it but they just thought no one would ever know his middle name (oh…kids can find out!). We only call him Brock, never with the middle name. All school stuff just lists Brock L. (last name here). I know, it makes us laugh when we tell the story too!!
Went to school with a Justin Case…
I went to middle school with a girl who had a hyphenated last name: Master-Bates.
Rex. Like a dinosaur?
I had decided in high school what I wanted my future son's name to be. I wanted to name him Holden after the protagonist in Catcher in the Rye. I still love that name, but….my married name is now Cox.
Could you imagine??
My husbands has 2nd cousins named Crash Landon and Rocky Landon.
There's a website called "Baby's Named a Bad, Bad Thing" that has tons of names that make me laugh until I cry.
I went to school with a John Doe–seriously. Talk about a lifetime of having to prove that you are who you say you are. He must have to carry around several forms of identification.
My second cousins are named after guns… Remmington and Winchestor. They're nicknamed Remmy and Chet. Their sisters have very sweet, normal names… Libby and Eliza.
One of my brothers dated an "Amanda Naylor"
Another brother dated a "Martha Recht"
Last name, first initial: Recht, M
Rectum
Her fathers name began with an "E"
First initial, last name" E. Recht
Erect
i would name my baby adolf musalini!
sam and ella….. twins. salmonela (its a disease)
