BAD BABY NAMES 14


THE RUNNERS-UP:

Nova

Tonight, on PBS...

Syri'yah

Just a thought, but isn't naming a child after a terrorist-harboring nation a bit of a no-no in today's political climate? Will baby #2 be named Libby'yah?

Gallatin

I think I took this once for constapation. I think I need to take it again after seeing it used as a baby name.

O'Merion

Let's hope he at least gets the LUCK of the Irish....

Roosavelt

Speak softly, and carry a BAD BABY NAME!

Be'aJa JaShawn

MOUTHFUL, CRE8VE SPELLING, APOSTROPHE ABUSE...this awful name has it all.

De'Tron

This is a pure SCI-FI SYNDROME name at work! "Hurry! Into the De'Tron machine! We haven't much time!"

Audaisha

This sounds like a hearing aid: "Never miss another conversation with the amazing Audaisha 5000!"

Zreena

I'm dumbstruck. Just as these dumb parents should be struck....hard.

Danavious

This is another naming trend that I am helpless to explain: made-up sounding names that have the appearance of adjectives. Can anyone explain the appeal of this? 'Cause I'm at a loss, folks, I really am.

Heavenly

Watch this kid be a brat. You just know it.

Lakota

OK, this is a big BAD BABY NAME pet peeve for me. I'm Native American. People will ask me, on a fairly regular basis, for NA names for their babies. When I give them names like Tallulah and Anika, they get confused and say, "No, we meant like Cheyenne or Dakota!" Those aren't NA baby names. Those are NA Tribal names. There is a difference, people. And if your baby is Dutch/Irish, he/she is going to look pretty silly with a name like Lakota. But hey, to each their own....

TimBreya

Isn't Tim usually a boy's name? And what's a Breya?

Paytyn

Will we never be free from these unwarranted ATTACKS OF THE Y's???

R'Son

The ATTACKS just keep coming! Please, won't somebody call a cease-fire?

Jacquit

If the BAD BABY NAME fits, you must Jacquit.

Pual

This isn't a CRE8IVE SPELLING....this is a travesty.

Freedom

"You got to give what you take!"

(in my best George Michael voice)

Nylen

Wasn't this Rose's last name on "The Golden Girls"?

Carver

And I thought Cutter was a bad name!

Divinity

Isn't this the candy Lucy and Linus are always fighting over in the PEANUTS comic strip?

Karenjat-Nyah

That is quite a MOUTHFUL.

Honesty

Oh, honestly!

Skot

Are these people related to Pual, by any chance?

Duke

This is a terrific example of a PET NAME. People, if you want a dog, buy a dog. Don't do this to a helpless baby.

Terryion

If you want a dog, buy a dog....!


SECOND RUNNER-UP:

Marenity

Um...I think this mom was a tad bit confused. It was the MATERNITY ward you gave birth in, ma'am....


FIRST RUNNER-UP:

K'Le

I keep wondering: is this pronounced like "Kaylee" or like "Kelly"? The world may never know.


AND THE WINNER OF BAD BABY NAMES 14 IS.....
