39 Posts Mocking Crazy, Unusual Or Overly Complicated Names, As Shared In This Online Group (New Pics)
Interview"No, we can’t name her that because there was a girl in middle school by that name who bullied me. No, no, that’s my cousin’s name. That rhymes with a bad word, and kids will definitely figure it out by second grade. No, I don’t like that name. That’s too common. That’s too long and difficult to spell. I give up! Let’s just make up a name!"
If you’re a parent, there is a good chance you’re familiar with the experience of spending months searching high and low for the perfect name for your little one. Choosing a name can be extremely daunting at first, when you’re unsure of what will be common or popular 5, 10, or 50 years from now, and if you had to deal with name-based bullying as a child, you want to protect your kids from the same fate. But when in doubt, I always like to say “better safe than sorry”. Because if you get too creative with your child’s name, you might end up paying the price by being mocked online…
Below, we’ve gathered some of our favorite posts from the Name Nerds Jerks subreddit that is dedicated to name-shaming, as well as an interview with the group's moderator team to gain some insight about the community. As its description states, “No name is safe.” So be sure to upvote all of the posts featuring names that you can’t believe are actually on birth certificates somewhere out there, and then let us know in the comments what the most ridiculous baby names you’ve ever heard are.
Keep reading to also find an interview with Sherri Suzanne, professional baby name consultant and founder of My Name For Life. Enjoy this list of names that we can only hope are satire, and then if you are looking for suggestions to send your arch-enemy when they are naming their next child, check out Bored Panda’s last article on this same subreddit right here.

For goodness sake, call the child 'Robert', and shorten it to 'Bob'. If you really want a 'rock' name, add in 'Petros' as a middle name.

In Germany the government can veto names if they are inappropriate or stupid or offensive. I always thought that an overreach. Not anymore. What the hell is wrong with these people? Anyone naming their children in this manner has zero concern for their future.
It feels as if some of the parents hate their own children with choosing those names, Maybe the parents should have to be forced to go be a silly name, maybe Poopoo Funtgruttock
