The joy that parents feel when they find out they’re expecting is unmatched. But immediately after the news has settled in, they have to start planning. Prepping the nursery, buying the baby gear, saving up for all of the expenses that come along with having a kid... And in the midst of all that, they have to decide on a name for the little one.
Some moms and dads have had the names of their future children picked out since high school, while others are panicking to make a decision in the hospital while in labor. But if a couple has trouble choosing a name, it’s always better for them to pick a classic than try too hard to go against the grain. Because choosing a wild name might lead to cyberbullying before the baby is even born… We took a trip to a Facebook group that’s dedicated to sharing “Tragedeighs,” so we’ve compiled a list of the most appalling ones below. Enjoy scrolling through, and be sure to upvote the ones that you can’t believe are on someone’s actual birth certificate!

Even ignoring the horrendous middle name, Innocent Undie is a terrible name. it sounds like a competitor to Victoria's Secret. We don't sell no slutty undies, we sell innocent undies.
I first read it as somehow Spanish, like Pa-ï-[x]e. Is it supposed to be Page?
No Bible characters had any of those names. Try Elizabeth or Isaac.
Did they steal a road sign as well as having terrible taste in names?
Known for directing movies such as Intah'stelluh or Inshup'shynn
I'm almost certain this one was a joke the parents played, publicly, on their extended family. It's been posted and debunked several times in a bad baby name discussion group I participate in.
That's how Republicans teach s*x ed these days. "You kleya onto each other - that's what it says in the Good Book..."
If you pick "Rage" she will end up raging against the machine.
Saoirse (not Saiorse) is a legit name. I wouldn't use it, because I'm not Irish, but there's nothing wrong with it.
Is this the customers actual name or a misspelling by the employee? One time my brother in law Derek had a fast food employee take his name down as Terex.
Anyone ever read Paper Moon? Yeah, Goolsby reminds me of a farmer in overalls with a large bay window.
The US needs to outlaw the use of "leigh" in any name from here on out.
Maybe she got divorced and decided she couldn't afford a new whatever that thing is.
I've known a Bayla, who must be in her 60s by now. It's a valid Yiddish name with several accepted spellings, though the final H is not used in any I've seen.
She’s doomed to correcting her name-spelling for the rest of her life.
Gannon Raye Harper sounds like a 1930's private eye who can also shoot energy blasts from his hands
This one is not that bad, and probably has historic precedent. Tiffany is derived from Greek Theophania and has had many English vernacular spellings; Tiphaine/Typhaine and Tiphanie/Typhanie are still accepted French forms.
Shouldn't be in this list. Ceilidh (Gaelic Scottish) is the original spelling.
My ex's parents were immigrants from China, though ex was born here in the USA. They wanted him to be as American as possible, so they named him James. We've discussed names many times over the years, and he has always been forever grateful to his parents for giving him a bog-standard, boring-áss name. They gave him a traditional "generational" middle name (all the cousins/family members of his generation have a similar middle name, traditionally they all start with the same character) but yeah, he's an Asian James XD
Studies have shown kids don't like having unusual names. They like being one of 5 Liam's or Olivia's in their class. Makes them feel like their part of a club.
