[...] World’s Worst Baby Names [...]

My husband used to work as a lawyer for the state, working to get child support for children on state assistance from their dead-beat parents. The worst baby name he ever came across is a first name that reads as follows: “Herroyalhighnessqueennefertiti”. Try fitting that on state forms!

I knew of twins who were biracial named Ebony and Ivory

My dad used to work with a man named Horace Manor. Say it fast. It’s not good.

I as a home visitor for new Moms in the inner city and I have heard them all… the funniest ones were started with Sir, or Princess or Queen. Of-course there were the car references.. Lexus, etc

One of the Mom’s was named Pepsi Cola… that is pretty funny.. her last name was indeed Cola.

There was an Asshole (said Ash-ho-lay) – they were from somewhere else and didn’t know what the word was, just thought it was pretty. Also, Ophelia Pussey was another. I went to HS with a George George and a Salvador Edward Dressing (Sal Ed Dressing) No Joke :)

Mister Willis. Not dirty or anything, just ridiculous. My friend used to take tickets at an airline and kept some of the stubs with ridiculous names on them. He’d get them out every once in a while for a giggle. They were pretty hilarious.

My sister taught a girl named Chlorine and a friend of mine tutored a kid named…brace yourself…INXS. His parents were really big fans of the band.

my kids have a friend named Vesuvius…y’know, like the volcano that killed an entire city. He’s a sweet kid, most of the time, but also quite likely to erupt.

In the early 90s I knew a girl named Regan Bluett. She was born and named in the mid-70s, well before Ronald Reagan took office.

I went to college with twins named Dawn and Dusk, and when I was a prison social worker, a woman on my caseload named her son Shithead, pronounced Shih-theed. Ironically, 10 years later, a co-worker of my mother came to work and said her daughter, a community social worker, had a boy on her caseload named…Shithead. I can only hope that two parents didn’t make that decision, and hope that that boy can get past his unfortunate moniker.

I went to middle school with a girl named ‘Treasure’. I hated calling her that. I worked with a man named ‘Right On”. He showed me his license, it was true!

I once took a call from a customer “First name Snow, last name White”. I don’t think she liked her own name…

Most of the names you guys are claiming to have “known” are just urban legends. The lemonjello and orangejellow twins, in particular, are a meme that have been floating around the internet for years. See here: http://www.snopes.com/racial/language/names.asp Most of these “I knew a girl named_________” ancedotes are really just disguised racist jokes. You’ll never convince me for a moment you actually knew a girl named “nosmoking”.

I knew a girl in high school who was named Ima Precious Jewel.

This isn’t a baby name but my fiance’s first name is Amanda and my last name is Love. In one year from today she will forever be Amanda Love (sounds like a man to love). It took me two months just to get her to go on a date with me because of what her name would be if things did work out. Looks like her fears are going to be realized. Now, I’ll have to think about what kind of name I can choose to torture my kids.

My teacher had a student named La-a.. stupid right? You don’t know the half of it… It was pronounced La dash uh… and she had another student named abcde… pronounced ab sidd uh!!!

these names are so mean.

I know twins Jenna, Tahlia.

I know a kid named shithead

one of my best friends name is Autumn Breeze and her sister’s name is Summer Star. LOL;-)

My dad went to school with a girl named Ophelia Balls.. No friggin joke, That’s not even a little nice

I forgot, I had a friend that frequented a pizza place who had a pizza baker who was named Bug. I didn’t believe it until he showed me his drivers permit. My thinking was that the state was NOT going to put a nickname on a drivers permit. Darned if it wasn’t true. He said that his Grandfathers name was Bug, his Father was named Bug, & so was he. Otherwise I’ld have never believed it.

Urban legend my ass, ask school teachers and nurses….we’ve seen most of these and then some and these parents aren’t thinking of their child’s well being, they just want something unique. Using – (pronouncing it “DASH”) in a name should not be allowed along with all the apostrophes. Oh and JC, it isn’t racist, it is just pointing out some really thoughtless parents, regardless of color.

a friend’s brother named Ishmael Peter Rainwater (I P Rainwater)

We had a dentist growing up named Dr. Toothaker

I work in the healthcare field and see hundreds of names everyday. I don’t know if I could pick the worst. Chaos & Gypsi (siblings), Dreamy, Lucky, Lourdes, Master Bang, King, etc… But, the worst last name I have ever seen is Philapenasa. It doesn’t look bad, but the proper Dutch pronunciation sounds like Feel-a-Penis. I sure felt bad for her American teenage granddaughters.

Try these on for size, taken from the Monroe News Star in Monroe, LA:
MacKnificient ChristLove Jones and Onesty I’mUnique, as well as Heavenly Breeze. Then there was the child in my grandson’s PreK graduation class in 1995 whose name was Lashaundrikashakelshala. What can these parents be thinking to hang poor innocent babies with these names?

my name is modestie lace….my husband constantly makes stripper jokes. : /

In the town where I grew up there were chiropractors named Dr.Krusch and
Dr.Mc Cracken. At the same time there was a doctor’s office ran by Drs Gebhart and Heiny.

But I think the “best” of the worst names has to go to my fifth grade teacher’s husband, Harry Dick.

My mom knew a Brock Lee, and my uncle worked with a Richard Holder and Dick Holder XD.
