Blame Hollywood A-listers or ingenuine parents willing to go far to make their kids stand out from the crowd, but unique Baby names are getting more and more popular. Usually they are driven by a focus on individuality, with naming conventions thrown out of the window.

The result is Alchemy, Tansy, Kobe or Roch. Or Charmayanne and Antwohnette. What about Sincere and Precise? Yes, these are all baby names, for better or sometimes… worse.

So today we take a look at a couple of Reddit threads (this and this) where people share the most annoying baby names they have heard. Some sound somewhat strange, while others, they claim, they cannot stand at all. Let us know what’s your least favorite baby name in the comments!

#1

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.

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.

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

#5

I saw a girl on the news named Kim Wimberly.

Kimberly Wimberly.

#6

One of the girls in my daughter kindergarten class is named Quinsy. It’s a disease. There are two Dyxins with the same “unique” spelling and a Chacha, which is what I used to call my vagina growing up.

#8

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.

There was a girl in my class in Montreal named 'Asthma'. I s**t you not. I was 6 years old and that is my earliest memory of being baffled by humans.

Like, why not call your kid f*****g lymphoma? Hell, why not call your kid meningococcal meningitis?

#10

Ryvar (pronounced River). I'll never understand unique names that come at the expense of atrocious spelling.

I worked at a summer camp and this family had 5 kids and 1 on the way but the 3 at my camp were named Integrity, Honesty and Rage. Ironically Rage was the sweet one. But we would always joke about what they would name the next kid. I liked the name Punctual.

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.

#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

#14

I was assisting a photographer during my son's picture day at his elementary school a couple 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??"

I know someone who is about to name their baby Londyn. Why would you name them a word everybody knows, but not spell it that way? She'll spend her whole life correcting people.

#16

Product/brand names like Porsche, Chanel etc.

#17

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?"

#18

Guys, I was at Disneyland and would hear the most ridiculous children names. These were my favorite:

England and Scotland

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..

A girl applied at my work the other day with the name Precious.... My inner Phoebe thought, "ok I can't call you that."

#22

Nevaeh.

I know a couple who named their daughter Khaleesi Danyris (that's how they spell it), but only the wife watches GOT. Guy has no idea.

Recently they made it legal in Poland to name your child whatever you want. So people are coming up with these appalling Polish-spelled versions of English names they know from the movies. The "Brajan" and "Dżesika" generation in coming. (That's Brian and Jessica. It's as if an American named their son "Stanni'suave", I guess.)

I saw on Facebook one of the girls that went to my High School named her daughter Danyell. That's how she thought it was spelled apparently. I also live in a province where they don't fail kids anymore and you can get to grade 10 without being literate.

Edit: I guess the education system in Canada just sucks overall.

Basically anything ending in 'ayden'. Things like Zayden and Rayden.

And not sure if it's real, but Traylor sound hilarious.
