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.

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.

I know people under 13 don't realise this name is a recent invention, but it is. It started the much-hated recent trend of making up a name by rhyming it with the old names Aiden and Hayden. If you love to hate that trend, place the blame where it belongs.

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

Kid in my daughter's preschool class was named Haakon (pronounced Hawken). It always reminded me of the sound made when you have extra phlegm in your throat.

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

"Hey, my name is Bretney."

"Hi, Britney."

"No, no. Not Britney; it is Brett, like the guy's name, then Neigh like the sound a horse makes."

"Ok, where are the towels, Britney?"

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.

Brook Lynn.

It sounds stupid. Nobody from New York City is going to think you're cool. It's about as dumb as naming your child Ella Noy.

But Brooklyn is a common name. The way they spaced it out is the weird thing.

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.

Names like “Destiny” or “Star”. No offense to anyone with those names. They just don’t sound like names.

I had a cat called Seven. He was one of many and very cuddly so he was known as Seven of Nine. Resistance is futile.

Always feel sorry for kids who go to get a souvenir on a family vacation and can't find their name spelled THEIR way. Poor kids😥

The kid is in college so it isn't new but my husband once taught a kid named Blamo Johnson.

I still love it and needed to share.

I can supply proof of a rear window sticker with a Titanilla, Franciska and a Zsombi on it. According to my sister Zsombi is not a dog but a little boy (source: her own son and Titanilla are kindergarten buddies)

I work in a hospital and I saw the name Richard Pritchard. I reckon they thought of that name subconsciously because something reminded them off it.

What's with the ethnicity thing on this thread? Bad names are bad names regardless of ethnicity.

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.

So bullying a nine-year-old because of his parents. Yes, clearly, you are a good person.
