Bad, Hilarious, Or Just Absurd Baby Names

Or possibly out of Who's On First.

 

Thats what I wanna know!

 

there is a legit shakespeare character named Doctor Butts

 

A proctologist, one can only assume.

 

This list of "Baby names that aren't super popular" is complete bullshit, because ALL OF THESE ARE POPULAR, but I lost it at

Spoiler: Big

And

YOU ARE DOING THIS ON PURPOSE, I KNOW IT!

 

I had a history professor in college (long, long ago) who was named Basil Crapster. I suppose John would have been worse.

Then when his son was born, they named the child Tewkesbury.

I always thought it was because there was a famous battle at Tewkesbury (during the Wars of the Roses) but apparently it was a family surname.

 

I work with a girl whose parents took several of their relatives' names and just mashed them together for her. It's long...and i have no idea how to spell it. Everyone always asks her if it means something and she's like "nah my dad just made it up."

Edit: I realized her nickname being unique means I probably shouldn't post it, but she mostly goes by a shortened form of it.

 

So, there were three siblings at driver's ed. I only remember the names of the two brothers, though. Awes (pronounced like house) and HaShem.

 

Hashem is like a polite thing to call G-d, that's so weird.

 

Yeah, that's part of why I went "Wait, what?" when I first heard it.

 

A woman my mom knows just had a son, who she named Braskey.

 

My dad knew a couple who named their son (only a few years younger than me) Saiyan (like from Dragonball). They thought it was Japanese for "warrior"

 

These names aren't bad but I came across two brothers named Berkley and Kingston and I just wanted to cry from how pretentious rich white person-y those names are

 

Jayson. Why did it need the Y. Why was that necessary.

 

It's not ~speshul~ enough without it!
How does he know how much we love him if we don't give him a name that will require him to spell it out to everyone for the rest of his life?

 

Y was it necessary? -ducks and runs.

 

Was listing a collection of cookery books for sale online for Oxfam
The series editor was one Windsor Chorlton

 

It will only be perfect when his name is Jeyxunnm

 

Pronounced "Jayks un un um"?

Looking at"cool boy names"...

BLADE
BOOMER
DANGER
ELVIS
JOURNEY
NEO
REBEL
ZEPPELIN

hoooooo boy dang those are some names

Edit: on a separate list of unique names for girls or something, the name November. If theyre born in November, its just gonna look like the parents couldnt think of anything. If they were /not/ born in November, its going to be really weird. What, the kid was born in January but you just had to call her November??

I mean i guess you could say the same for the names April, May, and June (altho i guess July is from Julius so Julia could be a "month" name too)

But yeah

 

I dunno why I'm laughing especially hard at Blade, but I am. Good lord.
