Naming babies sure is fun - you get to learn all kinds of awesome names and choose one for your adorable spawn. However, as with almost everything in life, there are certain unspoken rules for naming human babies. First off, the name should be appropriate, meaning you shouldn’t call a little human something like Paper Clip. It’s just wrong. Second, remember that the tiny little human will someday be bigger than you, so calling your baby Baby might have repercussions in years ahead (for the Baby, not you, though). And lastly, always remember that a name has the power to make an impression on people, so one should avoid combinations like Sergeant Sergeant. Because then, your baby will absolutely have no choice but to become a Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant one day. 

And yeah, although these rules are pretty valid and not so hard to stick to, some people make it their life goal to break them. Hence this amusing Reddit thread where people shared the worst names they’ve ever seen. There’s Granny Gremlin, a preschooler named Xerox, and tons of names that might’ve been pretty fine if not for the absolutely kooky combo they make when paired with the person’s surname. Some of them are so freaky we cannot even mention them in this text! 

As to why these people’s parents chose such unfortunate names, we have no clue. Might it have been a bet to come up with the funniest name possible? Or perhaps the person was in a rush and just named their baby after the first thing that popped into their mind? Perchance a mistake? Who knows! And although we do feel sorry for the people who have to carry probably the worst names of all time, it’s nevertheless quite an entertaining read. So, scroll down below, check out the hilarious names people shared on this AskReddit thread, and vote for the most outrageous ones!

    2 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    It dates back to the middle ages (well before D**k was used to denote penis) where they liked rhyming. Richard gets shortened to Rich, then Ric(k), which sounds like D**k. Just like William is Will, which sounds like Bill. Robert, becomes Rob, which sounds like Bob. Margaret, abbreviated to Meggy, rhymes with Peggy. D**k never meant Penis until the 1880's an only became a term for an arsehole in the 1960's. At some point in the 1700's a d**k was a slang term for a male sexual partner. Prior to that it you were 'dicking' someone you were watching them (usually someone with authority waiting to see if you are going to cause trouble. eg, 'Don't do it now, the headmaster is dicking you').

    A woman had paternal twins, a boy and a girl. When she came out of the anesthesia, she was told her brother had named the kids. "Oh, no!" She said. "My brother is an idiot! What did he name them?" She was told the girl's name was Denice. "Well, that's not too bad," she said. "What about the boy?" "Denephew."

This was before the new phone systems with individual Voice Mail, so I take the messages and put them on the board. Someone kept taking Easter's messages from her sister (To Easter, your sister Christmas called) and told me I wasn't being funny. I had to have Easter explain that those were from her real sister, Christmas. OBVIOUSLY: Personal messages weren't posted just Please call _____________

    For the record, Witches never were and never will be “Evil.” It’s a stupid assumption to make. Witches are individuals of any sex who use the Magick of the elements, the soul, the heart and the mind to heal, create, and conjure.
