While not the worst, a friend of mine who worked an appointment desk once came home and announced "I just made appointments for three people named Unique today"

Perhaps not the worst, but I've had it with anything that rhymes with Aiden

Never seen a 1000 yard stare PRE traumatic event. That daughter is special in more ways than one.

Standard names spelled with far too many letters. JeighSynn and Kryssteighnah are not people names they are scientific nomenclature or some shit

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 44 points 1 week ago

Sounds like real tragedeighs right there.

I was doing payroll recently for my work, and came across Harsh Harsh. I had to ask our HR lady, really? His last name was Harsh and his parents named him Harsh?

Well, no. She said his name was simply Harsh but our system required a last name so she repeated it.

Still, pretty harsh I think.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago

Woulda made them set my first name as "Just" so it'd be "Just Harsh" and it should make for some who's on first fun.

Bona Petite

Holy shit. Where to start with this one...

  • Regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl, this name will lead to merciless teasing at school.
  • What a random phrase to name a child after (even if the father is a chef).
  • It's not spelled correctly (it should be Bon Appétit). But even with the correct spelling it would be a bad choice.
  • This spelling is like something Ricky from Trailer Park Boys would name his kid.
  • Related to the above point, they may add well just name their kid 'Bone Apple Tea'.

Unironically a fantastic drag name though.

Not specifically baby name, but I went to high school with a guy whose last name was Bohnert (pronounced like boner). Guess what his nickname was.

It was funny whenever we had a substitute teacher and they would do roll call:

"...Bahnert?"

"It's boner"

Just look at the offspring of the rich and famous. That covers it quite well
