25 People Share The Horrible Names They’ve Encountered In Real Life

Mammas, don’t let your babies grow up with these names. The Internet is full of stupid stuff. But, these parents gave their kids legal names that are dumber than any meme. These horrible names people encountered in real life are even more horrible to think about because they’re legal. On paper. Verified.

It’s one thing if your family name translates into English poorly. Americans need to grow up and accept other languages into their culture. Still, it was funny that my high school buddy’s name was “Fady” and we all said “Fatty.” Or the guy I knew whose family name was Dikshit. These things happen.

Others, however, know better and purposefully name their kids something awful.

Reddit has a lot going on right now, but people are still on there asking the important questions. Yes, they want to know what stocks to buy next, but they also want to hear what funny stupid names people have. 

Here are the funniest and weirdest responses to the question “What horrible, ridiculous names have you heard parents choose to call their children?”:

“I work at a college and often go through the new applications to process them, I’ve seen all kinds.

Most ridiculous name I’ve seen thus far though:

Starscream Anakin as his first and middle names. He has a normal last name. When I first saw it, I was certain that it was a kid fucking with our application system. Then I met him in person, and he showed me his ID.

His name is legally Starscream Anakin. I get the Anakin part, but of all the Transformers to name your kid after, why on Earth make it Starscream? He was just awful.” –Boxboy7
