“What’s The Most Horrible, Ridiculous Name You’ve Heard Parents Give Their Children?” — 34 People Respond

16. This really moving tribute from dr302:

Mia Khalifa, but a boy…

17. Man, their mom seems like a real Dick– from paintedbyfailure:

My friend went to high school with Richard Noggin.

18. Like drunk typing in your phone and hope it just “gets you” –from yongf:

The neighbour of my dad’s ex had a son and daughter called Blaiyz (blaze) and Ainjayl (angel). I don’t understand the strange spelling.

19. This crime against hump day from shorthodur17:

Wednesday Passion. That was a little girl i use to babysit.

20. This kind group who stepped in from PurpleMerple:

The kid’s name was William. Unfortunately for the kid, he had a nickname that was spelled “Liam.” That doesn’t sound so bad until you hear the pronunciation: “Yum.” Like, “Will-Yum.” They called their child “Yum” and spelled it “Liam.” No teacher in my classes with him could ever say his name correctly, so he eventually gave up and we all called him the normal-sounding Liam.

21. I overestimated our education system again–from PoignantUltimatum:

Well… let’s just say that the state I live in doesn’t have a significant english-speaking population, especially in the rural regions, despite the official language of the country ( India) being English and most of the urban population being educated. However; I have friends whose parents gave them names like “Benadryl”, “Goodbye”, “Very helpful” and the absolute worst “Dishwasher”. This, however is because people from the rural regions ( especially in the North-East) come to the cities, and see words in ads and billboards that they find pretty and innocently name their children after a variety of brands. I don’t always blame them, I had a family friend who came off as very posh and educated, spoke perfect English… but named his daughter Darth Vader. Some of them are just trolling. Do not underestimate people of the hills; they don’t take your bullshit, educated or otherwise.

22. Their father was actually a horse– from InRustWeTrust:

Saw a mother at the grocery store with two annoying rowdy kids named Dillinger and Maverick. They drove away in a lifted pickup truck, I imagine the father is a total dicknose.

23. I hope they have reconsidered her name after the series finale– from Viiibrations:

A family friend named his son “Sir” and it’s pretty cringe. Honorable mention goes to the former coworker who named his daughter Khaleesi.

Edit : also knew a stripper whose real name was Curiosity. Her parents doomed her.

24. I’m sure trying to buy their first beer went swimmingly- from luscious_j:

My mom worked in a maternity ward and a family with the last name “Dollar” named thier infant child “Needa”…poor kid

25. A little too much information from aliyvonne:

Chevy, because he was conceived in the bed of a Chevy truck.

26. Jared Fogel’s kid from Sovtek95:

My favorite I saw while working as a banker was…

Subway Club Allah Is Supreme Middle Name (last name)

His parents named him this and he wanted a loan to open a weed store in a state where it is illegal.

To clarify his middle name is Middle Name, i forgot the last name, but it was just a normal last name

27. These incredible names for golden retrievers from _incredigirl_:

Met a kid named Beau once. Learned later he had a twin brother named Arrow.
