How cruel are some parents? At my job, I recently saw 2 horrible names, where the parents obviously were smoking crack:

SH*Tterio
Kuntessa

What were they thinking?

I saw someone the other day who named her daughter Algebra. Poor kid -- especially if she ends up sucking at math.

This name isn't the worst ever, but due to the timing of when I first heard it sounds pretty bad:

Shokinnah (pronounced Shock-in-ah) - and I heard it right when the US launched that terrible Shock and Awe mission...

Parents just don't think.

Mandela. The worst part is that she's an adorable little girl.

At least Mandela can say she was named after a great man. If you want just about every bad name under the sun, look no farther than...

Every time we get this subject come up, I have to single out the child of one Shannyn Sossamon:

I also just ran across a name in one of our files where a male was actually named:

Lover.

Oy.

i don't know anyone with horrible first names...but i HATE when parents don't take into account their own last names! like my dad's friend Charlie Farley (he goes by his middle name now) or a little kid i used to babysit Rudy Ruderman. C'mon, people!

My friend Aiko always got a giggle out of the fact that her name literally means "love child" in Japanese.

Remember how we all thought Gwyneth was the epitome of elegance and class (well, some of us - I always had my doubts, having seen her in action), until she named her child Apple?

I've always hated my first name, but it's all relative, I suppose.

You have a porntastic surname that more than makes up for it though.

What is it with that name and porn?

Well, it's just that with the name, you expect your avatar pic to be dressed in plumber's overalls and responding to an 'emergency' call from a frustrated housewife.

I think I've posted this before, but I have two names for you to point and laugh at:

Crystal Chandelier

AND...


Lucious Titz


(Both of which were born in the hospital where my mother used to work as a labor and delivery nurse...in fact, I believe my mother may have delivered baby Lucious)


Oh geez.

Dollypop always has good answers to this question. DP, where are you?

I remember reading somewhere that someone named their kid SH*Thead. Except it had some foreign pronunciation.

Shi-THEED

I knew an Israeli kid named Dor who came to the U.S. You can imagine how fun that was.

My babysitter when I was a little kid told me a story of how she knew a man named Ham...and his last name was burger. I was like, "you're full of sh!t."

Cookie is a weird name...I like it though. My friend's mom has the name Cookie..
