Hoo boy, if you ever work in retail you're definitely gonna get a lot of these. There's a lot of minor ones, but I'm just gonna go with the top three, and one dishonorable mention.
3. I met a little Chinese girl named Truman. Like President Truman, and The Truman Show. Not necessarily a bad name, but definitely not one you give a girl. Her brother also had a really stupid name, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was.
2. This name held the number one spot for a while, and that name is Calcifer. Yes, as in Calcifer from Howl's Moving Castle. I didn't know that at first, and thought the parents had just combined Calvin and Lucifer. It wasn't until I just googled the name that I figured it out. On the bright side, Calcifer was the happiest, cuddliest baby I've ever seen, and his parents absolutely adored him, so at least he's got that going well for him.
1. I'm gonna be frank here, I don't even know how to spell this next name, and all attempts at me googling it have brought up zero search results, so I'm just gonna wing here.
My best guess is that it's spelled Xivalyn (zee-vuh-lin). I have literally no fucking idea where it comes from. All I know is that it sounds like a medicine. Like, "Ask your doctor if Xivalyn is right for you. Sides effects of Xivalyn include-not having any friends, not being able to get a job, no one being able to pronounce or spell your name, getting picked on relentlessly, getting laughed at for your entire life, etc".
At first I thought it was just Xiva, because that's what her mom had called her, and to be fair, that's not the worst name ever, but then her mother went "Xiva-lyn!" and I just wanted to faceplant into my register.
The best part? Her older sister's name was Catherine.
Dishonorable mention: My own sister who wanted to name her future daughter Sunday simple because the man she was dating at the time's last name was Showers so the child's full name would've been Sunday Showers. Thank fucking god they broke up.
