Bad, Hilarious, Or Just Absurd Baby Names

Naming your child "Kylo" seems like a bad idea from a self-preservation angle.

 

Like, you'd think they'd at least go for Rey if they were going to pick girlkid names from TFA. Better role model, even if it still has some unfortunate implications about the parents by extension. :::PPP

 

Ikea

 

Honestly, I wonder if whatever they used to pick the most popular names got hit by trolls or something.

 

Maybe not an objectively awful name, but each time I see someone consider "Nerine" I'm reminded of these guys (source: Aika Online)

 

Not a bad name, but a bad set of names...

While signing people up for Summer Reading, I met three sisters, and all their names began and ended with the letter 'A.'

I don't remember their names exactly, but it was something like: Alexa, Ava, and Adela. All perfectly lovely names on their own, but as a group? Why

 

because sibsets.

 

I know a family friend apparently named her kids Finn (sp?) and Fiona. Theyre old enough that it wasnt because of adventure time using those names for AU versions of the same character

 

Axtyn.

 

I had a friend named Marina whose siblings were Linnea, Lucia, and Tim.

 

And Tim? What, no unique name for him? :l huh.

 

Abcde (pronounced absidy) has most definitely been mentioned, maybe even by me, but it still cracks me up.

That one just makes me think of like...a girl named Cassidy with amazing abs???

 

I wanna make a TAZ reference but can't quite get there

 

Also: Puritan names, mmmm, some good shit

• Aid-on-high
• Approved
• Be-courteous
• Called
• Consider
• Dust
• Faint-not
• Fear-the-Lord
• Fight-the-good-fight-of-faith
• Fly-debate
• Fly-fornication (I assume in the sense of "begone, fornication!" but it sounds... unfortunate)
• Helpless
• Humiliation
• Magnify
• Original
• Praise-God
• Search-the-scriptures
• Sorry-for-sin

and finally

• Wrestling

 

don't forget If-Christ-had-not-died-for-thee-thou-hadst-been-damned (granted, it was his middle name but still.)

 

Reminds me of the wait for it middle name joke

 

*googles* huh. so they just took an existing trend too far.

Apparently my parents were accidentally ahead of the curve? After my little brother was born, the nurse asked Mom if my parents gave the three of us names that ended with "n" on purpose.

They had not, and to top it off, both of my parent's names end with an "n" sound too

 

Honestly, even if that one had been intentional, that wouldn't be too weird. (Though now I'm curious as to what the names were!)

Names all beginning with the same letter can get super cringey, especially when there's more than like...two children. Like, I'm good friends with a sibset named Jeremy and Jessica, but they're the only two kids there so it's not so bad...but if they had any other siblings and they also had J names I'd have to try very hard not to just go "why" at my friends. :P And then you get people like the Duggars, who are awful anyway but goddammit the forced theme naming is not helping your case and also WHO THE FUCK NAMES A KID "JINGER" ANYWAY FUCK YOU.

*ahem*

Rhyming names are tools of Satan. Especially when people give them to twins so they'll be ~*cute and matchy*~. I love The Simpsons as much as anyone but Sherri and Terri are not a good example of how to name actual IRL twin siblings.

...Weirdly, another thing that bugs me a bit, at least in fiction, is when siblings' names are too different. Like, I love Rick And Morty, but the idea of naming one of your kids Summer and the other Mortimer is kind of baffling to me--not because either is a bad name, but because they fit together so weirdly. (I feel the same about Simon and River from Firefly, incidentally.)
