40 Of The Worst Baby Names Given By Parents

Then why not spell it honesty

Surely the kid must have been itching to get that one changed!

I worked at a famous theme park and saw hundreds of ridiculous names and spellings. My favorite "Sellabrayshyn" . I could write a book!

Reminds me of Shadynasty from Always Sunny— pronounced Shah Dynasty.

terrible name! what's the matter with them?

Once got beat up by a pair of identical twins cause they didn't like my name

They should actually have focus groups in primary schools, where parents considering names like this should be forced to listen to the opinions of other children about their choices. That way they'd get a feel for just how much their own kid might be bullied because of their own self-indulgent and brainless choices.

And now she's stuck carrying the same name as a shitty makeup MLM.

this is sad

Yes or, you know, teach your child to respect everyone despite their race, colour, religion, sex and, apparently, name

That’s my stripper name.

I just imagine 190 cm tall, weighing 150 kg, 42 years old guy named Precious Bunny.

Some names are really overused, so people are trying to come with something new. But they forgot that there's a lot of 'normal' names, that doesn't make kids and their parents look like idiots.

"precious bunny" is a name Jamie Oliver would pick

Same thing happened to me, except the other child's name was Zachary with a "q".

Once met a guy named jam mica

I was a receptionist at Javits Center and screening calls for the VP. A man named D**k Head called. I asked to hold and called my supervisor to ask what I should do. She said that I did not have to listen to naughty language. I got back on the line and asked his name again. He said D**k Head. I said "sir, I don't have to listen to naughty language." and hung up. The third time he called he was angry and said "Please tell Richard Menaker that Richard Head is on the line!" This time I buzzed the VP who did indeed know the man and was expecting his call. WHY would you call yourself D**k if your last name was HEAD!!

I work with a girl whose first name is Sri-lanka

Sounds odd, yes. But what about those people called Jordan, Paris, Florence, and so on? TIME has normalised those names. It may well normalise others. (Just don't follow the example of the woman who thought Gonorrhea was ;a lovely name!)

/facepalm

James instead of J'aighmez.

Some of these come about because they are being spelt using the pronunciation of a different language. For example Krystyna is the Polish spelling of Christina, or Hanne is the Danish spelling of Hannah. The ones that change the spelling just to be different are deluded. They just cause problems whenever the poor child has to give their name - it's Mary with two x's and a z. FFS.

I saw a YouTube family (not going to name them) but their kids (and there’s a ton of them) all have normal names, except none of them are spelled right. They all have changed names. Navee instead of Navy. Journee instead of Journey. Kenedee instead of Kennedy. Kassidy instead of Cassidy (more normal one) It was insane.

I actually know a kawrleygh (pronounced Carly), an ashleigh (Ashley), a bryttawnee (Brittany) and a leighanne (Leanne)... these kinds of spellings are quite popular in Manchester
