50 Hilariously Unfortunate Names

Every parent wants what’s best for their child. Name included. But what makes a good name that will follow the baby through life is debatable. Some say it has to stand out from the crowd, others think it should still be a human name and not the name of a fruit (like Gwyneth Paltrow’s daughter Apple), and here you have different parenting styles and approaches clashing again and again.

But let’s take a look at what random people, passersby on the streets and fellow members of society have to say about the baby names they cannot stand. At least they’re a little less biased and may as well give us some fresh perspective.

Below we looked at a couple of Reddit threads where people weigh in on the weirdest and plain worst names to give to your kids, and here’s what we wrapped up. After you’re done, be sure to check out Bored Panda's previous feature with baby names that people say are better skipped for good.

My coworker named her baby "Strawberry Rain", which would be a great name, if she gave birth to a bottle of shampoo.

Bored Panda reached out to Pamela Redmond, the baby name expert and creator of Nameberry who’s known as the world’s leading expert on baby names. When asked about new trends for children’s names, Redmond said that they are seeing a strong trend toward gender-neutral names for boys.

“For decades girls were getting unisex names but parents shied away from them for boys, but now we're seeing that heading in the other direction. Some gender-neutral names rising in popularity for boys: Cameron, River, Angel, Rowan, Sawyer, and Amari.”

Not a teacher, but I work at my county's welfare office. There's a family and these are all the kids' first names from oldest to youngest:

* Princess
* Prince
* Crowned Prince
* Prince Mowgli
* Princess Modica-Nordica

Moreover, nature names just keep getting stronger, Redmond said. “There are flower names like Flora and Azalea but also tree names such as Oakley and Maple, water names like Ocean and Wave (Cardi B and Offset's baby boy), sky names such as Luna and Jupiter, animal names like Birdie and Wolf,” she explained.

Interestingly, mythological names are also huge. “Mythological names popular on Nameberry are Aurora, Freya, Penelope, Daphne, and Maeve for girls; Atlas, Finn, Magnus, Aurelius, and Orion for boys,” Redmond told Bored Panda.

According to the world’s leading expert on baby names, there are literally thousands of names given to fewer than five babies a year that doesn't even appear on the Social Security's extended list. “Some of these are names most people are familiar with. You could call these undiscovered names instead of unpopular names. For boys, these include Oberon, Gulliver, Bard, Florent, and Drummer. For girls, Delphi, Ianthe, Bluebell, Desdemona, and Zephyrine.”

Sh*thead (pronounced shi-theed), Da Boss, and Sexy Beth. Sexy Beth was just referred to as Beth, because who wants to call a 12 year old sexy, and her mom was not happy about it. She came into the school numerous times ranting about how her daughter's name is Sexy Beth, not Beth, and we better get it right

Redmond believes that the “name for a child is hugely important not because it determines your child's entire future, but it contains the code for your family identity, your values, and priorities, whether you're conscious of it or not.”

Moreover, “your child's name says a lot about how close you are or want to be to your family, how much your religion or cultural origin means to you, how you view gender identity, whether you'd rather fit in or stand out, how you feel about your own name.”

When asked to share advice for parents who can’t decide on the name for their baby, Redmond said it’s a good idea to hire their name consultants. “If you've already devoted hours to finding a name and can't come up with a choice you love, you can consult with an expert for a few hundred dollars and get choices that fit your style that you may not have thought of.”

There is also the free name generator called Baby Name DNA which is also pretty magic at analyzing your individual name style and matching you with names that fit. So check it out!

50 Hilariously Unfortunate Names My grandmother was a teacher in the "deep countryside" in Argentina back in the 50s. There is a hmm... tradition inherited from Spain I think, where you name your child with the name of the saint of the day he was born. Each day is the day of a saint, and they would sell these calendars with the name of a saint each day. So if your baby was born on the day of St. Rodrigo, you call him Rodrigo, for example.

The problem was that some of these calendars also had the national argentinian holydays marked. So July 9, May 25, etc, were marked as "Fiesta Cívica" (something like "Civic Celebration") instead of with the name of the saints. Basically she told me that she had children who were born one of these days, called literally "Civic Celebration".

I've always been kinda annoyed that we have such strict name laws in Finland, but reading these really shows how much better (or less bad) strict name laws are than no name laws at all.

I'm a TEFL teacher in China. The kids here have some fascinating names. Some are obviously just mistakes (Like Biran or Windy). Some are quite clever.

One girl about 15 said she wanted to be called KFC. When I asked her why she smiled and said "Because everybody likes KFC!"

Another very shy girl about 19 called herself shadow...which I thought was a lovely name.

Then there were the parents who had an extra child by accident and called her...extra. Seriously. There are also parents who name their child after an inanimate object like "telephone" or "train". "Tiger" is a popular name for boys too.

There's also a boy named monkey; "apple" is quite common, and many others like this. For some reason there's a fair few older girls 20+ named Queenie; these days the name seems to have fallen out of fashion. These are the names the parents or kids themselves have chosen, we teachers aren't trying to make fun of them.

Edit: Forgot to mention I work with a Chinese girl whose name is Tim.

I used to deliver for FedEx and has a customer named "English King". I asked her about it one time and it turns out her birth name was English Ivy; her parents' last name was Ivy and they thought "English Ivy" was cute. Then she married someone named King. So "English King", like "George"? "Henry"? :)

then you have ppl with funny surnames that just happen to interact with each other. such as a lady Powerful living opposite to a man with a surname King. Jacket lived next to a Nail. Fox in the same building as Rabbit ( all legit surnames just translated). a man with a surname Soup living with a lady named Cabbage- so basically they had on their door "cabbage soup" and my favourite: three families living next to each other: Rooster, Hen, Raven and the street nicknamed after them the Feathers' street

I love that in America and Australia it seems normal to name a child Jensen as the first name. In Scandinavia it is a surname meaning "the son of Jens". Also, I once came across a woman on fb whose last name was Taber. In Danish, "taber" means loser. I was very surprised that it was a surname. Lol! Sorry to those who has Taber as a surname.... but yeah, I think it's good info if you should ever visit Denmark, just in case you wonder why ppl are smiling strangely when you tell them your last name. :)

Working at a small med clinic, there was a whole family with five kids who would come in. Their names were: Rowan, Sage, Hazel, and I can't remember the other two but they were herbs. Very polite kids and sweet family. I actually really liked the themed names!

These were funny at first and then quickly became depressing thinking about how these kids have to live with those names. I seriously hope they're all fake but I know some are real. Those parents are all self centered f**kers. Creative named should only be used for pets, toys, and avatars, not for living human beings. If those f**kers liked the creative names so much, they should just change their own legal names instead of condemning innocent children. I'm sure 99% of those parents would not really want the names they gave their kids.
