“Wish I Was Kidding”: 50 Hilariously Unfortunate Names That Were Actually Given To Babies
Interview
I can’t imagine the pressure that parents feel when naming their children. Finding a name that has a positive connotation, that both parents love and that, ideally, won’t leave their child being one of 10 Sarahs in their kindergarten class can feel like an impossible task.
But when in doubt, go for something classic. If you find yourself resorting to the name of your favorite Transformer or Pokémon, you might be better suited for having a pet, not a child.
Redditors have recently been sharing the worst names they’ve ever heard for children, so we’ve gathered some of the most atrocious ones below. Please don’t take any inspiration from this list when naming your own kids, pandas, and be sure to upvote the names that you hope aren’t actually on birth certificates!

T'Mar of Vulcan 1 year ago (edited)
So do I... But at least here the 'odd' seeming names are due to parents using names that either remind them of something or it's something they want for their kids. Precious, Passion, Fidelity, Happy, etc. Taught three siblings whose names were Regomoditswe Isis (she went by Isis), Mosa Osiris (went by Mosa) and Phumza Cleopatra (went by Phumza). Their mother was obsessed with Egypt, obviously. Taught a girl named Jihad. Asked if I could call her Crusade. Her father wasn't amused, since 'jihad' actually means 'struggle'. I currently have a girl in my class named Amazing. Yes, people call her every synonym for it under the sun. She answers to them all.

To learn more about how this conversation started in the first place, we reached out to Reddit user Inky-Skies, who posed the question, "What's the worst name you've known to actually be given to a child?"
She was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda and share that the thread was inspired by a conversation she had with her boyfriend about silly names. "He just moved from the US to Germany to live with me, and I explained how the law can intervene here if parents try to give their kids very outrageous or insulting/illegal names," the OP explained.
"We read a list of silly names online, and I was curious to see if people on Reddit knew someone who gave such names to their kids IRL," she continued. "I certainly didn't expect the post to blow up the way it did!"

My mom was also a teacher in a rural area. She had a ton of kids named Jasca. After she'd been there long enough to be comfortable, she asked one of her colleagues if there had been a famous person in the area named Jasca. No, the colleague said. They were trying to name their daughters "Jessica".
Because outrageous names are banned in Germany, the OP says she doesn't personally know anyone who's named their child something that could end up on this list. "But sometimes people will have unusual or weirdly spelled names - my own name, Riccarda, might fall into that category," she shared.
"And of course, certain names are stigmatized but legal; the female name Chantal (unfortunately my middle name, from before it became stigmatized) or the male name Kevin are examples of that here," Inky-Skies added.

We also asked Inky-Skies what she believes are the most important factors parents should consider when choosing names for their kids. "To choose a name that won't provoke bullying or otherwise negatively affect the child's life," she told Bored Panda.
"I think a lot of parents want the name to be funny or unique when choosing such a name, or consider it witty - but they forget that they're naming a person, not a character or pet," the OP says. "That person will one day grow up and apply for jobs with their name, have their own social circle and personality. It's unfair to burden someone with a name that will ridicule them or turn them into a social outcast. That should go above the parents' need to express themselves."

"One of the funniest I saw was 'Mnop,' pronounced Noël - because 'no L,'" she shared. "Another parent apparently named their child 'Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze' - the full name of the anime character - as a first name. A few more: 'Sexybeth,' 'Placenta' ('because it sounds like a flower'), 'Goldfish,' and 'WiFi.'"

Some countries have rules about what you can legally name a child. Usually no military ranks or titles of royalty and nothing that could be considered 'ofensive'.

Or in the case of many of these just ridiculous for the poor child!

Am I the only who can't see the majority of the names - this doesn't happen in just a few posts but all the posts in multiple articles on this site - you can't read the type it's just missing

Happened to me when I first was here. I deleted the app and now I read straight from the Web site and see everything.

Sid and Max could work in the school yard. No idea how to shorten xæa-xII.

We went the other way. Our son is named Javier, with the common Spanish spelling. However, it's originally a Basque name, and the Basque spelling is Xabier, pronounced the same way. We both thought that would have been cool, but in the United States, he'd be "X-Avier", and we didn't want that.

Oh, no there's more. There was a New Hampshire congressman who was falsely named the winner of the senate race by the network exit poll consortium named Richard Swett. But he didn't go by Richard for some reason known only to God. A Republican who opposed gays in the military probably because he was named Richard Armey, but again, didn't go by Richard. And a Senate candidate in Virginia named Crystal Balls. Also, a naming convention for referencing bills is to refer to the chief House and Senate sponsor; the bill regulating the internet should have been known as the Dingle-Berry Act, but for some reason the media didn't call it that.
