| #1 Posted on 5.1.06 1451.36 Reposted on: 5.1.13 1451.52 | It seems parents will name their kids anything these days. In reaction to this, I named my child (simply) Lucas James to try to reverse the trend. When he started daycare, I was appalled at the weird names these kids have. One is named Kountri (pronounced "country"). YUCK. What's the worst you have heard? Promote this thread! |  | StaggerLee

With a fucking "X".
The whole traditional last name as a first name trend (Riley, Miller, Barron, whatever...) is pretty annoying to begin with, but when the parents get all Atari 2600 with the spelling... gimme a break.
Runner up:
India (white girl's name)

Otherwise, anytime parents "make up" a name or spelling variation for their child they should be shot. Also, no child should be subjected to names like Prince, King, or Queenie.
Food names are bad. Candy is the one that comes to mind, but I'm sure there are others.-- And initials that make words (or close) or match an acronym, like Jeff Alan Kramer or David Orin Spells. | The Thrill

| #9 Posted on 5.1.06 1722.31 Reposted on: 5.1.13 1729.02 | There was a college basketball player in the late '90s named God Shamgod. He played for Providence. I don't personally see the upside of naming you son "God", and it's only made worse by a last name with "god" in it.
And I'm just now realizing the irony of him playing for that particular college.

| #11 Posted on 5.1.06 1959.30 Reposted on: 5.1.13 1959.58 | I work in a call centre. Actual customer names either myself, or my agents have received over the 4 years I've been there ...
Long Wang Harry Muff Jenny Craig Max Wiener (from Dildo, Newfoundland) Ailing Wang Aike (prononced Achy) Wang Fok Yu Bin Atul (he and I *really* had it out as well, he was one irate dude!) Oliver Cockburn Ron McDonald
I swear to god I have not made a single one up .... I have a list of them at work that I've collected over the years, along with the account number so that new agents who don't believe me can access their files. There's probably 25 more that I've forgotten, but every time I see them, I realize that there are some parents that certainly could have used a little more time analyzing the idea of a name.
I'll forgive the Asian ones. But Harry Muff is just wrong. | drjayphd

That is the worst name I've ever, EVER, seen.
Only slightly off topic, and this is 100% true, a while ago in Sarnia, Ontario a man named Wills Rawana ran for mayor. He didn't win, but if he did, he would have become...
