“The name: F E M A L E. Pronounced: Femahly.”
People onQuorahave decided to startsharing the baby names they loathe.
I once had a girl named Bo-peep.
Her sisterBambiwas in my class the following year.
I also had a girl whose first name was Rice and her middle name was Aroni.
Yes, like the ‘San Francisco treat!’
Another young lady was named Summer, which sounded great until I saw her middle name was Eve.
Yep, like thedisposable feminine hygiene products.
Is there a Shit Head?'
Everyone sat up and looked around, shocked.
My cousin later asked and was told it was spelled S-H-I-T-H-E-D."
3.
They finally settled on (wait for it) ‘TEMPO ARIE’ pronounced ‘Temporary.’
That was 18 years ago, and she’s changed her name to something far more conventional."
She named her first child Jhaydynn because apparently ‘Jaden’ wasnt enough letters.
Then she named her second child ‘Chelleseigh.’
Thats already absolutely terrible, but the worst part is that she pronounces it ‘Kelsey.’
“Anything thats named after a medical condition or a medication.
Ive met a baby named Salexa.
However, Celexa is an SSRI used to treat anxiety disorders and clinical depression.
The worst one I can ever recall hearing was this poor little boy named Harry-Dick.
He is going to be so badly teased.”
I havent seen that in years, but it was definitely a thing in 1992.
Anyway, the girl in the next bed next to us named her baby ‘Vagina.’
Yup, you read it correctly.
Her family argued and pleaded with her not to for over an hour.
So, to our knowledge, that babys name is, in fact, Vagina."
“I had a classmate in school called Wayne, surname Kerr, making him a ‘Wayne Kerr.’
“I was helping my cousin run a field trip.
It was written down as ‘L-a’ and so Im like, ‘La?‘Nope.
It was pronounced Ladasha.’
That poor girl is going to spend her life correcting people.”
“There was a high school girl working at my local grocery store.
I did a double-take at her name tag but decided to give it a shot.
I said it as it was spelled: ‘Thank you Serria.’
She said, ‘Why does everyone call me that?
My name is Sierra, just spelled differently.’
Honestly, if you are going for a different spelling, what’s wrong with Ciara or Cierra?
Why would her parents do this to her?
I think she is going to be annoyed for the rest of her life.”
The names I have seen are: ‘Female’ (pronounced Fe-maul-e).
Yes, like trash.
Twins named ‘Cocaine’ and ‘Marijuana.’
(Feel free to look them up in the South Carolina Department of Corrections.
This may come as a shock, but they were convicted on drug charges).
Twins ‘Orangejello’ and ‘Lemonjello’ (pronounced Or-ang-elo and Lem-on-jelo).
‘UrMajesty,’ ‘UrHighnessVagina (pronounced Fa-gi-nuh),’ Abcde (pronounced Ab-suh-day).”
13.Oh, lord.
Any version of Caedan, Rayden, Haedaaan, whatever.
Once, a person named ‘Shanie’ told me angrily, ‘Its pronounced - SHAH-NAY.’
For the love of all things good, yo learn phonics.
Are people just throwing darts at the alphabet when it comes to child naming?
Unique is one thing, but stupidity is another.
Culturally relevant and different is one thing, but stupidity, ignorance, and arrogance are another."
14.I used to be a school bus driver.
I did a double-take at the girl’s name on my clipboard.
Her first name read: BikiniWanna!
I’m like, ‘Who on earth would name their child that?!'"
15."‘Tequila.’
Both are actual names.
My friends sister was a neonatal nurse.
They werent supposed to criticize whatever name parents had chosen.
One mom wanted to name her daughter ‘Chlamydia.’
She had no idea what it was.
She just thought it was pretty.
My friends sister felt obligated to tell the new mom what it meant.
The new mom had no idea what it meant.
She just thought it was pretty.
She thanked the nurse for letting her know what it meant."
One of my client’s also told me that she knew a child named ‘Pain.’
like, parents, choose better.
She did not stop to consider how it would pair with our last name.
Our last name is ‘Rockett.’
So her named was ‘Rhoda Rockett.’
Just effin’ mean, man."
