“That Name Is Bad And You Should Feel Bad” Facebook Group Roasts The Parents Who Came Up With These “Unique” Names (30 Posts)

Blogger mom Samantha, from 'Walking Outside in Slippers,' told us about the considerations new parents might want to take into account when choosing a name for their children. Sometimes, the perfect name you had all planned out for years and years might not end up being the one you end up choosing. After all, you have to pick something together with your partner, not alone.

"I played dolls with my friends when I was little, and had names for the dolls that I fully intended to name my actual human children one day. I pretty much stuck to the plan into adulthood, but hadn’t realized that my husband would reject all of my choices. Goodbye, 'Felicity.' The reality of choosing a name is more complicated than some of us realize because you need to consider how your partner will feel about your choices," she shared her thoughts with Bored Panda.

In that case, you might want to consider somehow incorporating a family name or picking a person you'd like to pay tribute to. Though that raises a pretty good question, as to which grandparent should the baby be named after. Have we mentioned that choosing a baby name is tough?

Then we have to remember the fact that not all names are 'valid': some perfectly fine names might remind us of people who have wronged us in the past. "There are bad associations we have due to people we have known through the years that can limit our name options. All of this comes before we even open up the discussion to more unusual names and possible teasing," Samantha, from 'Walking Outside in Slippers,' noted just how big of a challenge it really is for parents.

"I personally believe no one should be teased for their name, but the reality is that a very unusual name choice could be setting up our kids for teasing despite our best intentions. An easy-to-say name will also be simpler for teachers, coaches, and friends to pronounce correctly. That said, I believe we should teach our kids to take the time to learn to correctly pronounce names, especially from different cultures and languages. Because we never want to seem like we’re making fun of someone’s culture or language," Samantha shared.
