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.

Imagine being the youngest kid, knowing your parents didn't look at you and feel inspired to pick the best name, but were more like "gee, what starts with K that we haven't used up?"

My grandmother's parents did this. She has 12 brothers and sisters...all are named in order of alphabet. I have an uncle Albert, aunt Beatrice, aunt Christine, uncle Donald, uncle Earl, aunt Franny, aunt Georgina, my grandmother is Hattie, uncle Isaac, aunt Josephine, uncle Kenneth, uncle Lawrence and aunt Mildred. Four of them were dead before I was even born, but I always thought their "alphabet names" were kind of cool.

My husband always thought it was cool that we just happened to both have the middle initial. In naming our children, we named them variations of their grandparent's names. Turns out both of our kids also have the middle initial that we have. So, unwittingly our whole family has the same middle initial. When our daughter was 2 years old, the pediatrician said, "That's kinda cool how your whole family has the middle initial J." I do not know how the heck I missed that! Too bad we never had another child, we decided we would just go with it, but we never had another child. I still have no idea how I missed it, I usually watch for that kind of thing, I also am careful about the initials since I once met a person whose initials spelled "BUM". I made sure we avoded that, lol.

My grandparents were told they couldn't have kids, and so when they had the first one they named him Johnathon. They th ought he was the last one so when they had the second they were super surprised. they decided that they didn't want that kid to be left out so they have her a j name. It went that way all the way down to the last kid...

When I was expecting my youngest, my 11 year old came up with the suggestion we it we have a girl, name her after him and a boy after his sister. Think Henry & Henrietta or Joan and John. I went for something completely different

It depends on what the names are and what letters they use . I know someone has probably already said it but if you have 3 and use K for all of them then you have the KKK kids .

I don’t agree! I have always loved the names Nathan, Noah, Nolan and Noélie. So I could have had 4 children without any problem! I like children having the same initials. My sister and I had them as well. I always used her projects as we only needed to initial them. So yeah. I don’t agree with this one!

When I had to do OT/PT for my broken elbow a couple of years ago, the therapist introduced himself to me as David. Yet, on the website, and on all the official paperwork, business cards, etc, they all said John D. Lastname. I asked him about it. Turned out that he was adopted, and in his adoptive family the convention was to name all the males John Lastname, but give them all different middle names, and they were always addressed by their middle name. That's why all the official stuff said John, but he introduced himself to me as David, so that's what I always called him.

My fiancee's paternal family were intentionally named so that every male had the same intials and every female had the same ones. Since there were more men than women born into the "trend," I've made it very clear that our child(ren) will, under no circumstances, have a name that begins with the letter D.

My wife's parents went the other way. Her name is Julianna; her sisters are Arianna and Vivianna. The first two are common enough; the third seems to be stretching it a bit, and least in America. Their mother is French, so maybe Vivianna is a real name in France.

My paternal great-grandparents did this - everyone's name started with "L" and they were odd names that had nothing to do with any family associations ("Lowie" for example, pronounced "low-eee"). My grandfather was the youngest and the only boy - his name was "LaForrest".

This! My sister and I both have a first name that begins with M. When mail was addressed to "M. *last name*", we didn't know for which one of us it was until we opened it. However, I have a middle name and my sister has not, so it was not a problem with official mail that used both of my initials. We haven't lived at the same address for years, but I'm still always using my both initials if I have to sign something. Only writing M. feels like I'm using my sister's name.
