What are the dumbest names people’s parents cursed them with?

[kidsquid]

I think kids named after places (London, Brooklyn, Paris) is so trashy. Oh and -son names I fucking hate. Neveah is such a stupid name too.

My mum wanted to name me and my brother after Star Trek characters. Thank fuck my dad put his foot down. We got given boring, plain, safe names instead.

Ricans & Dominicans naming their daughters Indira

if only they knew what Gandhi really thought of partial African descendants like them

Nobody "celeb" Nick Cannon had like three kids with different baby mamas in a several month span. One of them was named Powerful Queen. That boggled my mother so much that she kept asking my sister and me what the fuck would the kid actually go by in everyday terms for like three days. "Do they actually call her Powerful? Or would they refer to her as Pow-pow? Queenie? Seriously. What do you think they call the kid, [toilet_rainbow]? Why the fuck would you name your kid Powerful Queen in the first place?!"

Just about every name ending in -Leigh, -Lynn, -Den, replacing I with Y or any other attempt to make a pseudo-Scottish name will be permanently be associated with the obnoxious suburban types for me. That and complete white trash as well.

I’d also put the name Aiden as another name associated with white trash.

Just go with the proper spelling of the names you illiterate fucks.

I say it's the white people version of how black people name their kids with names ending in "-ian" or "-ious" or "-on-" and starting with "Le" or "Da" and shit like that. Whites seem to have started a decade or two later since I remember lots of black NFL players with weird names in the 90s while the whites I went to school with who had those sorts of names were probably the first generation to be cursed with names like that (and later perpetuated it).

"Aiden" on the other hand is a quintessential FTM troon name.

-Cain & Judas (where actually pretty good kids)s

Were the parents goths, metalheads, or some other sort of weirdo?

If I recall correctly, their parents were very young when they had them and still in some sort of 'phase'...that's what you get when edgelord teens get pregnant, I guess. But their parents are still together and are now totally normal, from what I remember.

I used to handle medical records back in the day when they were still files on a shelf.

Three stand out all these years later:

"Cheerful"

"Rembrandt"

and

"Clotworthy"

A guy who used to work at my store told me that he went to high school with some weirdo named "Canada".

I hate "conventional" names that are spelled in a way that you just end up mispronouncing them when you first look at them. It's one thing to have varied spelling like Katie and Katy. But then there are those names. Suze (as in Suze Orman) immediately comes to mind. I keep wanting to call her "Sooz." Another one is Mady Gosselin (one of the Jon and Kate Plus 8 kids). Her name is pronounced Maddie but looks like it's pronounced May-Dee.

That reminds me...Tara.

Amandla -- "dla" is impossible to pronounce fluently, it sounds like crap and if you're going to say her name as "Amandala" or whatever then why not spell it that way?

Amandla Stenberg - IMDb

Amandla Stenberg, Actress: The Hate U Give. Named for the Zulu and Xhosa word for "power," Amandla was born in Los Angeles, California, to Karen Brailsford, a writer, and Tom Stenberg, a businessman. Her mother is African-American and her father is Danish (and of part Inuit-Greenlandic...

It's like there was a typo on the birth certificate and they just decided to keep it.

I don't know if it was true or some sort of urban legend, but I remember as a kid my mom coming home from work and saying some drug fiend supposedly named her kids Peanuts, Popcorn, and Candy.

In high school, I had a class with someone named Mary (Middle Name) (Last Name) #1. It made me wonder if there were a #2 or #3 floating around somewhere in her family.

I've also seen the name True (no idea if they have siblings named False or Maybe).

Finally, a friend named her daughter Hannah Grace -- apparently unaware that the name Hannah means "grace."

I once saw a woman's name was Elamef, took me a while to realise its just Female backwards.

It looks like something a troon trying to be clever would call themselves.

I know a woman who's named Kiralee. She's partially named after her mother, Jaylee. The mother is in her early 50s, so apparently made up nonsense names were a thing in the Australian seventies as well.
