Blame Hollywood A-listers or ingenuine parents willing to go far to make their kids stand out from the crowd, but unique baby names are getting more and more popular. Usually they are driven by a focus on individuality, with naming conventions thrown out of the window.

The result is Alchemy, Tansy, Kobe or Roch. Or Charmayanne and Antwohnette. What about Sincere and Precise? Yes, these are all baby names, for better or sometimes… worse.

So today we take a look at a couple of Reddit threads (this and this) where people share the most annoying baby names they have heard. Some sound somewhat strange, while others, they claim, they cannot stand at all. Let us know what’s your least favorite baby name in the comments!

#1

30 People Share What Baby Name Immediately Makes Them Think The Parents Are Stupid I was told when naming my daughter to say the following sentences out loud:
1) Please stand for the President of the United States, [insert name].
2) Gentlemen, dancing tonight on the main pole here at The Bunny Club, [insert name].

If #2 flows better. .pick another name.

30 People Share What Baby Name Immediately Makes Them Think The Parents Are Stupid Before my nephew was born, my sister sent me a text asking if I liked the name "Rylar". I sent her a list of questions to ask herself, and if she answered yes to any of them then Rylar would be a fantastic name for her child. The questions were:

1) Is he destined to be a lion tamer and/or magician?
2) Will he not have a last name, like Seal or Prince?
3) Is he going to have an ominous title like "The Terrible" after his name?
4) Is he a character in an RPG?

She named him Lucas.

Well, if it was spelled Quincy, it would be the name of a town in Massachusetts, as well as the middle name of the 6th President—-who was the son of the 2nd President. Quincy was also the last name of his great grandfather on his mother’s side. With “c” instead of an “s”, that little girl would share a name with several people, as well as a place, which would be so much better than sharing her name with an “inflammation of the throat, especially an abscess in the region of the tonsils”, according to the Oxford Dictionary. Amazing the difference ONE letter can make.

Not exactly. Chacha was used for young women (chacha or chachita) because it's short for muchacha. Sometimes it is used as a name for housekeepers in the same way the word maid was used in English, both words just mean young woman.

I understand wanting your child's name to stand out. But one needs to be reasonable about why it stands out. My kids grew up in the era of Jennifer, Amanda, Joshua, and Jake. I think that contributes to the need to be unique.

Poor Chacha will forever be forced to have Cha-Cha Slide as a theme song of sorts. Coming from someone named Jude who ALWAYS had people sing Hey Jude at me. It’s gone to the extent where I’ve legitimately considered changing my name just to make it stop, that’s not gonna be fun for her. Not to mention, Jude’s a fairly normal name, both here in the Arab world and the West. Chacha on the other hand…

30 People Share What Baby Name Immediately Makes Them Think The Parents Are Stupid There is no such thing as a baby name; the name you give your baby is also going to be their adult professional name. Some parents forget to name their child accordingly.

But to answer your question, I dislike most names that involve some kind of universal virtue. Joy and Hope are acceptable, but Love is pushing it.

Imparting names with significance regarding the character and traits you hope you child will grow into as they get older is a tradition in many cultures that goes back thousands of years. Truth, Wisdom, Temperance, Courage, Noble, Justice, Charity, Constance, Patience, Verity... This is not some stupid new passing fad.

Now the names Aiden and Hayden are sneered at as "made-up trendy names" while "Jayden" has defensive 15-year-olds (named Jayden) arguing that it *is so* a traditional name! Eg. this thread

In my country many people have an "english name" and an African name. Some of the English names are like that. Happy, Lucky, Last Born, Beauty etc. I've met a girl whose English name was Computer and one guy called Races. Kid you not.

Haakon is a normal name in Norway (their crown prince is Haakon for example), but that's _not_ how it's pronounced

I may dislike a name but I don't think it's right to call someone by a different name just because you don't like their name.

Pretty much any of them. You're not doing your kid a favor. At least let them get to the job interview before I find out that they're an absolute f*****g idiot. Name your kid a normal name.

This is off topic, but there's a 9 year old kid at my son's school whose parents are very Christian and politically conservative. I know this because during the last presidential election he shared with me a lot of delightful opinions about Hillary and Obama that were clearly his parents'. So this kid's name is Brock, but I've been trolling him and telling him that I think it's awesome that his parents named him Barack. He keeps correcting me that it's BROCK, not BARACK, but I just act stupid and call him Barack all the time. I can only hope that this gets back to his parents.
