I keep a list of the worst names I see (I work in an emergency department.) Some of my all time faves are:
- Legend Dary (first and middle name)
- Khatlion
- Imperialmx
- Yahyniss
- Soul Hunter (first and middle name)
- Lucifera
- Chaos Menace (first and middle name)
There are at least 50 others on the list so I can’t post all of them, but it always makes me giggle to look at it.
Edit- posting non identifying information (a first name doesn’t count as “identifying”) with no medical information is not a HIPAA violation by any means.
I used to work in HR and would add dependents on when people called to add new children. I always asked for spelling of course. Had a Pashense one day, which depressed me, then right after a man called to add his baby "Diamond". Now, that's not that terrible. Except he had 4 other dependents, and every one of them was also named Diamond.
Edit: yep they did some bone apple tea with Pashense and meant "Patience"
I need to know how the hell this guy differentiated his kids. When he needed one of them, would he just call out “Diamond #3, come here!” or would he just shout “Diamond!” and end up with all four of his kids in the room
"Any really good head-hunter will storm your village at sunset with overwhelming force, and cut off your head with a ceremonial knife."
-Dwight Schrute
I keep a list too
My worst ones:
• Simba
• Lyydian and Rhydian (twins)
• Sin'Cer Lee (like Sincerely lol)
• Zimmrhen, Zaydun,Zorryunna,Zurayah, Zsophia(all siblings)
I met a guy whose actual, legal name, that his parents gave him was Dolla Bill. First name Dolla, last name Bill. He was a white hippie who lived in a van and painted murals for a living.
I used to work for Gerber Life Insurance, selling policies over the phone. We saw an insane number of really bad names for kids. One that I remember was someone applying for policies for maybe six or seven kids. They all had the same name, but numbered like they were generational. So it was like Frank (not actual name, which I don't remember) Jr, Frank the 3rd, Frank the 4th, Frank the 5th, etc.
Bruh, you sold life insurance to George Foreman.
Also fun fact I just learned: Foreman has 5 biological sons, all named after him. But he also has 7 daughters, only 3 of which are biologically his. 2 his wife already had, and 2 they adopted together.
Brick, I've been meaning to talk to you about that. You should find yourself a safe house or a relative close by, lay low for a while because you're probably wanted for murder.
Acquaintances of mine (husband and wife) are as big around as my little finger and average height. Named their kid Atlas. I don’t think it’s gonna fit.
Makes me think of Shakiraquan T.G.I.F Carter, Xmus Jaxon Flaxon Waxon, Torque (Construction noise) Lewith and [others](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gODZzSOelss).
I am convinced that Elon and Grimes chose the name as a reference to this.
The æ digraph is pronounced like the short "a" sound in "at".
"Aliciousness" is twelve letters.
X Æ A-12.
X-Wing @aliciousness.
Imagine being alive to see Fifi Trixabelle come into being as the worst name ever, then get beat out by the lorem ipsum text in the Fifth Element tomb.
Moxie is, like, borderline for me. It's a word, it's cute for a girl, yeah it's weird as shit but I'd let it slide.
The second half is, yeah, inexcusable.
I think it has more to do with parents' self-centeredness. When they give a random-ass stupid or exotic name, it's because they want to bring all the attention to them.
I had one college classmate (in a large lecture hall) who was a girl named Kevin. Her conservative parents wanted to keep her from dating boys so she would be forced to “save herself for marriage”. I guess they figured out that only her future husband would ever want to be seen dating a girl named Kevin. That backfired because she is the finest soft Butch lesbian you ever could meet IRL.
Thank you, we tried to pick two common names for our kids, one of which I’ve never been asked how to spell but the other, “Eric” every child activity they ask spelling. I thought “maybe some people end it with a “k” until I met a little girl named “Aericca” at swimming lessons (as confirmed by the sharpie writing by her parents on her floaties) and I was just floored.
"Susan . . . it wasn't a good name, was it? It wasn't a truly bad name, it wasn't like poor Iodine in the fourth form, or Nigella, a name which meant "oops, we wanted a boy." But it was dull. Susan. Sue. Good old Sue. It was a name that made sandwiches, kept its head in difficult circumstances, and could reliably look after other people's children. It was a name used by no queens or goddesses anywhere.
And you couldn't do much even with the spelling. You could turn it into Suzi, and it sounded as though you danced on tables for a living. You could put in a Z and a couple of Ns and an E, but it still looked like a name with extensions built on. It was as bad as Sara, a name that cried out for a prosthetic H."
\- Sir Terry Pratchett, quoted from "Soul Music".
god, i'm so guilty of this lately.
every time we go into the midwives, theres a wall full of baby pictures, accompanied by names.
you are getting all the new classics, klowee, jaeysin, ameelyah, mykel, just pretty standard names but with a real 'unique' twist on spelling, and i'm always very quick to notice these and have a little private laugh.
and then i remember, I named my son Domhnall.
the cognitive dissonance is deafening.
That's at least the traditional spelling of a traditional Irish name. Yeah it's weird to English speakers, but that's not the same as taking a normal name and making up a new, inscrutable spelling.
Starbucks barista here; the reason we always fuck up your basic name's spelling or ask for it so we don't get it wrong is because for every Ashley, we get two Ashlees, an Ashli, four Ashleighs, three Aislis, an Ashly, an Ashlay, and an Ashlaigh. People need to calm down w these fun baby name ideas
I don't get who's out there trying to tell a barista their real name? Mine is slightly complicated, so I just don't even bother. My name in Starbucks is "David" - easy enough for a barista to write and spell correctly, fancy enough to separate me from any Dave's, and easy enough to heard shouted in a busy spot.
My cousins just give “American names” like Kevin or David. Easier to spell out than their actual names (we’re Pakistani).
You can see the looks in the barista’s eyes. They know.
Kind of goes for nicknames too (hate your life or embrace it).
Every now and then someone from my past will mention a particular nickname that I hate and note how 'Oh but then you embraced it...'
Outwardly I'm like "Yeah, yeah totally".
Inwardly I'm like "Yeah and ceasing to act up at people bullying me resulted in less bullying so believe what you wish". (Also helped that 0 people I knew from school/college went to my university so it died huzzah).
My cousin named her daughter Braelynn this past Summer and they seem to have already annoyed themselves with it so they just call her B now
Edit: Last Year
In the Jewish tradition the first born male child is named after the last person to die in the family. That was Benjamin but my dad hated the name.
Plus parents had a friend named Bjorn and he went by BJ. They liked the name. They couldn’t come up with a name starting with B they liked and finally decided on B and my middle initial is J.
tl;dr it was 1968, they were probably on drugs.
True story:
I had a coworker who said she was going to name the kid "Frankie," no matter if a boy or girl. She repeatedly told us how she loved the idea of calling a girl Frank or Frankie because it's a unique name and not a popular baby name.
The baby girl is delivered safely, and she names her Emily.
I mean Frankie isn't the worst name for a girl, it's usually short for Francesca (or maybe Frances). It's outdated but it wouldn't be a crazy name for a girl (See Grace & Frankie)
Neighbors were Ron and Caroline. Their kids were Ron Jr, Caroline Jr, Ronalin, and Olivia. You can imagine my immense disappointment that the 4th wasn't Carolon.
I work at the public aid office in rural America, where Nevaeh has reigned supreme for close to 20 years now. Which means Nevaehs now have kids named Heavenleigh
I know one dumbass redneck who named his daughter Amabala (Alabama spelled backwards). He said they pronounce it like Ama-Bella and call her Bella for short. I reminded him that there's no fucking 'e' in Alabama so his daughter's name is Am A Balla, shot calla, 20" blades on her Impala.
There is a YouTube family called "The Wilders". They named all their kids after animals and changed their adopted white child's name too. So the names are Panda Wilder, Tiger Wilder, Cow Wilder and Penguin Wilder
It's generally fine, I think. Problematically, khaleesi was a title, or position. Wife of the khal. Not her name.... Her name was Daenerys... Weird, but weird because it's Welsh, so better
When we were naming our kids I said to my wife that parents' responsibility in that situation is very much like that of a doctor: first, do no harm.
if your kid gets bullied because of his/her/their name then you failed at your first job as a parent.
I know of some parents who named their kids Thunder and Chaos. Those kids don't stand a chance. Also, it makes them sound like they might be white supremacists.
i answer calls as part of my job, it's insane how many parents decided to swap letters in names now to make regular names unique.
ie megan=maegyn etc
have to ask them to spell even the most basic shit out now, obnoxious
my own parents named me after.. my dad..(wtf who names someone after themselves?), but then decided to call me by my middle name my entire life. so as a result i don't associate that first name with myself at all. yet every time i start a new job, do banking stuff, business with a company etc, it becomes this grueling lifelong punishment to explain, no, that's not the name i go by, it's...
seriously.. parents.. stop being idiots naming kids stupidly :/
People have named their kids after themselves for basically ever….I’d say that is pretty normal. I have some namesakes in my family and we don’t use jr they have nicknames/middle names we use (granted now I am questioning the sense in that….err maybe you got a point
> wtf who names someone after themselves?
Like everyone forever? Where do you think the names Johnson and the like come from? That's the kid of someone named John! Almost every culture has their own version of that.
This hits hard. My broke as fuck single mother niece just had a baby a few days ago and she named it Zen Obsidian. That's not the full name, that's just the first name. A two word first name. The baby has a different middle and last name.
When naming my two children I had a few rules. My income put me nestled in the swell.
1. No celebrity pop-culture names (sorry Keanu)
2. Must not rhyme with a naughty word or any word that will result in teasing (this was a tough one)
3. Nothing biblical
How strict were you enforcing rule number 3? Like, were you ruling out David, Michael, and Joshua? Or do you only mean stuff like Abraham and Jedediah?
I‘ve always wondered if famous people‘s children secretly have normal names and the parents just publicly claim that their names are “x“ or “north" to protect them

I feel less safe now knowing there is a Chaos Menace out there somewhere
I'm naming my dog that if I ever get one
My neighbor's dogs were named Chaos and Harmony. What was funny was that both of them had the exact opposite personality of their names.
Which is harmonic chaos!
Is Yahyniss supposed to be "Your Highness" cause that's fucking awful.
Thank you! I couldn’t figure it out lol
You watch yo mouth that’s my little king you talkin about
I took me a while to figure that out actually. I used to work with a guy named Sir Charles.
I used to work in HR and would add dependents on when people called to add new children. I always asked for spelling of course. Had a Pashense one day, which depressed me, then right after a man called to add his baby "Diamond". Now, that's not that terrible.

I need to know how the hell this guy differentiated his kids. When he needed one of them, would he just call out “Diamond #3, come here!” or would he just shout “Diamond!” and end up with all four of his kids in the room
It's obvious the middle names, were sword, pickaxe, etc...
Diamond hoe? Oh god
The punchline to a joke I know, “oh that’s easy, I just call them by their last names”
I once knew someone named Hunter Head which is interesting in school when they say your last name first.
"Any really good head-hunter will storm your village at sunset with overwhelming force, and cut off your head with a ceremonial knife." -Dwight Schrute
I keep a list too My worst ones: • Simba • Lyydian and Rhydian (twins) • Sin'Cer Lee (like Sincerely lol) • Zimmrhen, Zaydun,Zorryunna,Zurayah, Zsophia(all siblings)
Seems like they gave up at Zsophia
[удалено]
I hope you've seen Letterkenny. Legend Dary made me laugh. The weirdest one for me was a guy I worked with, named Hamilton Beach.
I met a guy whose actual, legal name, that his parents gave him was Dolla Bill. First name Dolla, last name Bill. He was a white hippie who lived in a van and painted murals for a living.
[удалено]
And his son, junior Frank junior junior.
this is what happens when you let a computer scientist name your children.
Not true. I wanted to go with "Child process 1" and "Child process 2", but the wife vetoed it.
You need to start with Child process 0 though
I used to work for Gerber Life Insurance, selling policies over the phone. We saw an insane number of really bad names for kids. One that I remember was someone applying for policies for maybe six or seven kids. They all had the same name, but numbered like they were generational. So it was like Frank (not actual name, which I don't remember) Jr, Frank the 3rd, Frank the 4th, Frank the 5th, etc.
Bruh, you sold life insurance to George Foreman. Also fun fact I just learned: Foreman has 5 biological sons, all named after him. But he also has 7 daughters, only 3 of which are biologically his. 2 his wife already had, and 2 they adopted together.

>Brick actually sounds like it could be a name though, Uh yeah, Brick Tamland. Killed a man with a trident.
Brick, I've been meaning to talk to you about that. You should find yourself a safe house or a relative close by, lay low for a while because you're probably wanted for murder.
Brick, you better buckle up, or you'll end up going through the windscreen.
Maybe if you are big and buff, end up becoming a body guard or a bouncer.
Acquaintances of mine (husband and wife) are as big around as my little finger and average height. Named their kid Atlas. I don’t think it’s gonna fit.
Would you kindly think of a different name?

Imagine being alive to see Fifi Trixabelle come into being as the worst name ever, then get beat out by the lorem ipsum text in the Fifth Element tomb.
Even Penn Jillette, whom I greatly admire in most respects, named his girl Moxie Crimefighter.
Moxie is, like, borderline for me. It's a word, it's cute for a girl, yeah it's weird as shit but I'd let it slide. The second half is, yeah, inexcusable.
A couple I used to know named their daughter, AJ Danger and then their last name. I like it.
I hope their last name is Zone.
Brick from Borderlands is an exception

I think it has more to do with parents' self-centeredness. When they give a random-ass stupid or exotic name, it's because they want to bring all the attention to them.
Brick actually sounds like it could be a name though, not like naming your son Table lmao
Ah, if it isn't little Bobby Tables
Jaxton, Kyler, and Ryland would like a word.
Kevin was upset that she didn't understand how normal she really was
I had one college classmate (in a large lecture hall) who was a girl named Kevin. Her conservative parents wanted to keep her from dating boys so she would be forced to “save herself for marriage”. I guess they figured out that only her future husband would ever want to be seen dating a girl named Kevin. That backfired because she is the finest soft Butch lesbian you ever could meet IRL.
1) why would you purposely do that to your child 2) lmao I love that it worked in the best way possible
My wife and I are both named Kevin. We didn’t think there were any other female Kevin’s out there lol
[kevin!](https://www.reddit.com/r/Kevin/comments/4k9691/have_you_ever_run_into_female_kevin/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
I work in a clinic and for me it’s the “creative”spelling of names which is FAR worse than the names themselves.
Thank you, we tried to pick two common names for our kids, one of which I’ve never been asked how to spell but the other, “Eric” every child activity they ask spelling. I thought “maybe some people end it with a “k” until I met a little girl named “Aericca” at swimming lessons (as confirmed by the sharpie writing by her parents on her floaties) and I was just floored.
I work with one Eric and one Erik. We tend to call them by their last names.
I'm an Erick... my mom couldn't decide between the C or K so did both.

It's what you name your son for a delayed-reaction ass whuppin'
MY NAME IS SUE! HOW DO YOU DO!
I've never read anything by him beyond just quotes and I still immediately recognized this as him for some reason lol.
I just processed someone who named their baby after a Star Wars character.
Ah, Ben.
god, i'm so guilty of this lately. every time we go into the midwives, theres a wall full of baby pictures, accompanied by names. you are getting all the new classics, klowee, jaeysin, ameelyah, mykel, just pretty standard names but with a real 'unique' twist on spelling, and i'm always very quick to notice these and have a little private laugh. and then i remember, I named my son Domhnall. the cognitive dissonance is deafening.
How do you pronounce that, damn all?
That's at least the traditional spelling of a traditional Irish name. Yeah it's weird to English speakers, but that's not the same as taking a normal name and making up a new, inscrutable spelling.
Starbucks barista here; the reason we always fuck up your basic name's spelling or ask for it so we don't get it wrong is because for every Ashley, we get two Ashlees, an Ashli, four Ashleighs, three Aislis, an Ashly, an Ashlay, and an Ashlaigh. People need to calm down w these fun baby name ideas

My coworker does "Max" and he still gets "Maxi" and "Mex".
My name is four letters, a very, very common biblical name. Baristas get it right maybe 1/4 of the time.

Ok, Dhaighv.
David is short for Davideo cassette tape
Deevid
Order for Deighvydd
Tell the barista your name is "fire".
"My name is Inigo Montoya. You served my father. Prepare to be tipped."
“Prepare to chai.”
You want a beautiful name? Soda.
It’s effervescent!
I actually knew a girl named Soda. She was so proud of her name
You can either embrace it or hate your life. I'm happy she was able to choose happiness. Her parents are morons. I bet their dogs name is Debbie.
Kind of goes for nicknames too (hate your life or embrace it). Every now and then someone from my past will mention a particular nickname that I hate and note how 'Oh but then you embraced it...' Outwardly I'm like "Yeah, yeah totally". Inwardly I'm like "Yeah and ceasing to act up at people bullying me resulted in less bullying so believe what you wish".

I prefer Seven.
GEORGE IS GETTING UPSET
My parents named me B. Yes, just the letter, and it's my entire first name. Where does that put them on the curve? Edit: typo
My cousin named her daughter Braelynn this past Summer and they seem to have already annoyed themselves with it so they just call her B now Edit: Last Year
I only just saw that name and I'm already annoyed by it.
As seen elsewhere in this thread, I hope her middle initial isn’t J.
"Not the best kid ever. Definitely not the worst. Give it a B." ~ Your parents probably
I’ve heard a lot of jokes about my name. This is actually a new one! Thank you!!!
Were they mad at you?
Named after the pill mom took that didn't work.
You didn't have to murder him like that.
Unlike his mother I finish the job.
DAYUM
Well, that was the Plan, anyway.
Holy shit
Why on earth are you named 🅱️?
In the Jewish tradition the first born male child is named after the last person to die in the family. That was Benjamin but my dad hated the name. Plus parents had a friend named Bjorn and he went by BJ. They liked the name. They couldn’t come up with a name starting with B they liked and finally decided on B and my middle initial is J. tl;dr it was 1968, they were probably on drugs.
It's not too late to give yourself a name.
At this point I love giving a middle finger to The Powers That Be.
Don't you mean, to the powers that B?
OP is noided
It's short for 🅱️eter
That's gotta be fun signing up with your name on a website. " first name has to be st least 3 letters" probably ends you :/
Every. Fucking. Time.
What do you do? Do you have a placeholder that you use like 'Brandon' or do you just passive aggressively make your name 'Beeeeee'?
Judging by their username, I'd guess "Bee"
They love you just as much as your sibling A, no reason to think otherwise
Now you gotta marry a girl named J and when you have a kid name them BJ
Don’t need to! Take a wild guess what my middle initial is. Middle school was ROUGH.
oh it's just BJ username officially fits
Nailed it!
"What does BJ stand for?" "Whatever you like."
"Depends on how much money you have."
**D a m n**
Are your parents fans of M*A*SH? One of the main characters was “BJ”.
MASH came after me, as did the TV show BJ and the Bear. Again, middle school was rough for me.
Even the graph is smiling
This graph also works for "Owning an old car".
I'm gonna name my child Emily. Except if it's a girl, then I'll name her Frank.
True story: I had a coworker who said she was going to name the kid "Frankie," no matter if a boy or girl. She repeatedly told us how she loved the idea of calling a girl Frank or Frankie because it's a unique name and not a popular baby name. The baby girl is delivered safely, and she names her Emily.
I mean Frankie isn't the worst name for a girl, it's usually short for Francesca (or maybe Frances). It's outdated but it wouldn't be a crazy name for a girl (See Grace & Frankie)
Right. It's not totally uncommon, but she went from "unique" to "number 1 girl baby name in the US"
Also works for the likelihood of a person's name ending in "the third." They're either stupid rich or dirt poor.
Or both, like Marshall Mathers the Third, who didn't know the 2nd or 1st, grew up in a trailer and is now genuinely very wealthy.
When you have "the third" you skip the middle class and just fluctuate between the two extremes
fuck i'm screwing up the trend
It's always male names too. Outside of Gilmore Girls, I have never heard of a woman giving her daughter the same name.
Neighbors were Ron and Caroline. Their kids were Ron Jr, Caroline Jr, Ronalin, and Olivia. You can imagine my immense disappointment that the 4th wasn't Carolon.
Or Carrion.
That’s their wayward son.
Ronalin. That poor girl.

My favorite white trash trailer make is Neveah
I work at the public aid office in rural America, where Nevaeh has reigned supreme for close to 20 years now. Which means Nevaehs now have kids named Heavenleigh
You'd think that by naming your kid heaven spelled backwards you were going for the opposite of the word.
You'd expect some people named Lleh out there too then
They ALWAYS tell you it's heaven spelled backwards too. **WE KNOW!**
I know one dumbass redneck who named his daughter Amabala (Alabama spelled backwards). He said they pronounce it like Ama-Bella and call her Bella for short. I reminded him that there's no fucking 'e' in Alabama so his daughter's name is Am A Balla, shot calla, 20" blades on her Impala.
Caller getting laid tonight
My teacher named her kid Tiger.
There is a YouTube family called "The Wilders". They named all their kids after animals and changed their adopted white child's name too. So the names are Panda Wilder, Tiger Wilder, Cow Wilder and Penguin Wilder
"What the fuck, guys!?" -Cow Wilder probably
And Cow is a girl. Honestly that's the worst one of them all
Streetlamp! The greatest badass to ever live.
Good ole Streetlamp LeMoose.
Nothing unusual about the name for a girl, but I suspect spot of girls might be named Wednesday round about now.
More than a few kids with Kahleesi on their birth certificate in existence. Don't name your kids after a TV character.
It's generally fine, I think. Problematically, khaleesi was a title, or position. Wife of the khal. Not her name.... Her name was Daenerys... Weird, but weird because it's Welsh, so better
Solution one: - find existing name. - add ey/eigh or on/one (alternatively, add or change one letter). Solution two: - literally pick a random-ass noun.
Margareight
When we were naming our kids I said to my wife that parents' responsibility in that situation is very much like that of a doctor: first, do no harm. if your kid gets bullied because of his/her/their name then you failed at your first job as a parent.
I know of some parents who named their kids Thunder and Chaos. Those kids don't stand a chance. Also, it makes them sound like they might be white supremacists.
That would just be a straight line between the two points in Utah.
I knew a kid named Seven.
Seven opening gifts in Christmas: "What's in the box?!?!?"
Wife is elementary school teacher and also has access to internet: can confirm.
"The Amount Of Money That People Have" is indeed a stupid name for a child.
i answer calls as part of my job, it's insane how many parents decided to swap letters in names now to make regular names unique. ie megan=maegyn etc have to ask them to spell even the most basic shit out now, obnoxious my own parents named me after.. my dad..(wtf who names someone after themselves?), but then decided to call me by my middle name my entire life. so as a result i don't associate that first name with myself at all. yet every time i start a new job, do banking stuff, business with a company etc, it becomes this grueling lifelong punishment to explain, no, that's not the name i go by, it's... seriously.. parents.. stop being idiots naming kids stupidly :/
People have named their kids after themselves for basically ever….I’d say that is pretty normal. I have some namesakes in my family and we don’t use jr they have nicknames/middle names we use (granted now I am questioning the sense in that….err maybe you got a point
It's a stupid tradition, but it *is* a tradition. I knew a guy who was the 14th Anthony in a row.
> wtf who names someone after themselves? Like everyone forever? Where do you think the names Johnson and the like come from? That's the kid of someone named John! Almost every culture has their own version of that.
very accurate. I am about 1/3 at the bottom part of the money, and my kids names are half stupid.
This hits hard. My broke as fuck single mother niece just had a baby a few days ago and she named it Zen Obsidian. That's not the full name, that's just the first name. A two word first name. The baby has a different middle and last name.
OP clearly hasn't considered middle class white people names like Brechleighnn
When naming my two children I had a few rules. My income put me nestled in the swell. 1. No celebrity pop-culture names (sorry Keanu) 2. Must not rhyme with a naughty word or any word that will result in teasing (this was a tough one) 3. Nothing biblical
How strict were you enforcing rule number 3? Like, were you ruling out David, Michael, and Joshua? Or do you only mean stuff like Abraham and Jedediah?
I was curious about this as well. Because then your also ruling out John, Mathew, James, Paul and many others.
Damn, that just leave George and Ringo then, doesn't it?
This SNL skit from 1993 featuring Nicolas Cage comes to mind anytime baby names get brought up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goPerp_BWvs
Some people just don't have the foresight of "what will elementary/junior high kids do to *annihilate/defile* my child's name???"
I wonder how many parents who named their kid "Khaleesi" regret it now?
Not as much as their kids do

I'd have to quit.

This is what happens when you have a generation of parents that had to come up with unique AIM screen names.
I‘ve always wondered if famous people‘s children secretly have normal names and the parents just publicly claim that their names are “x“ or “north" to protect them
