Picking a baby’s name is arguably the most important decision you will make for your child. Picking a weird baby name can set your child up for a lifetime of agony.
You just don’t want to pick something weird that they can be made fun of for. I truly believe people grow into their names so just make sure it’s something that sounds successful. Unlike the names people are sharing in this viral AskReddit thread.

I was told when naming my daughter to say the following sentences out loud:
1) Please stand for the President of the United States, [insert name].
2) Gentlemen, dancing tonight on the main pole here at The Bunny Club, [insert name].
If #2 flows better. .pick another name.
#2
Any normal name that is misspelled to make it ‘unique’

I met a girl and her name was C’mon. She got pissed when I didn’t pronounce Simone right.

Before my nephew was born, my sister sent me a text asking if I liked the name “Rylar”. I sent her a list of questions to ask herself, and if she answered yes to any of them then Rylar would be a fantastic name for her child. The questions were:
1) Is he destined to be a lion tamer and/or magician?
2) Will he not have a last name, like Seal or Prince?
3) Is he going to have an ominous title like “The Terrible” after his name?
4) Is he a character in an RPG?
She named him Lucas.

Ryvar (pronounced River). I’ll never understand unique names that come at the expense of atrocious spelling.
#11
I understand there are a lot of different ways to spell Kaitlin, but the spellings that are like Ckaetlyin or KVIIIlyn or some c**p.

I was assisting a photographer during my son’s picture day at his elementary school a couple of years ago and there was a girl named Areola. All I could think was “why do the parents of this adorable little girl HATE HER??”
#13
I was volunteering at a middle school and a kid comes running up to me and says “My name is King” I thought ok but his middle name was Lucifer. I was speaking with King Lucifer.
Also my wife is a teacher and had students named Mi’Queen and Mi”king. What a time to be alive

There is no such thing as a baby name; the name you give your baby is also going to be their adult professional name. Some parents forget to name their child accordingly.
But to answer your question, I dislike most names that involve some kind of universal virtue. Joy and Hope are acceptable, but Love is pushing it.

Product/brand names like Porsche, Chanel etc.

The same first letter for all of the sisters and brothers. It’s cute when it’s two siblings, but if it’s three it just seems like a gimmick.
Imagine being the youngest kid, knowing your parents didn’t look at you and feel inspired to pick the best name, but were more like “gee, what starts with K that we haven’t used up?”

Girl at the gas station was explaining her daughters name to the clerk. She named her daughter “Anesthesia”. Spelled exactly like the doctory drug, but pronounced Anastasia like the movie..
#22
Chardonnay.
The parents named her for their favorite wine.

A girl applied at my work the other day with the name Precious…. My inner Phoebe thought, “ok I can’t call you that.”
#24
