BAD BABY NAMES 29: Your, Uh, Majesty?
BAD BABY NAMES 29
THE RUNNERS-UP:
Integrity
You just know this kid is going to be one helluva good liar.
A'majena
Another classic case of APOSTROPHE ABUSE! And I can't help but wonder...is it "ah mah jee nah" or "a maj ee nah" (like "imagine")?
Jicelle
Yee-haw! A REDNECK HALL OF SHAME name!
Tamaralria
Whew! What a MOUTHFUL!
Valenica
Well, it's better than Apple...but aren't we now comparing Apples and (Valencia) oranges?
Hilton
Hasn't Paris tarnished this name for good yet?
Justus
Now, I am no fan of the name Justice...but this CRE8IVE SPELLING is just downright horrid.
Ted'Quarius
Here's a good example of a name that started out ok...but then went horribly, horribly awry.
Wilson
Picket fence covering half of baby's face not included.
Princeton
There is no way this kid's getting into Harvard...
BreOhna
Can someone explain to me what the point of capitalizing that "O" is? Anyone?
DeMarco
Little DeMarco joins big brothers Don and Juan...
Phallyn
Wow. That is just downright CRUEL. This kid is never going to be able to eat a hot dog, sausage or fish stick in peace.
SECOND RUNNER-UP:
Stetson
After the hat, or the cologne? You make the call.
FIRST RUNNER-UP:
Bishop
I suppose it's an improvement over Knight or Pawn.
AND THE WINNER OF BAD BABY NAMES 29 IS...
ROYAL
Now, this PSEUDO-ROYALTY name isn't just bad...it's generic. Is it Royal as in King, Royal as in Duke or Royal as in Emperor? Come on, if you're going to give your kid a title for a name...be specific, people!
Feel free to comment...

Or Royal, as in Crown Royal, or does it speak of the child's temperment, like Royal PITA?
What is wrong with these people????

I suppose it could be Royal, like Almanzo's brother from the Little House books... and at least they didn't use "Almanzo!" :D

TedQuarius is the winner of the day. But before dissing Justus, know that it's a common name in Finland. Perhaps there's a cultural justification?

To Angel: The Crown Royal connection never even occured to me! Food for thought...
To Pixie: I had forgotten all about Royal Wilder! Oh, how I loved "Little House" when I was younger...
To anonymous: Good point, and thanks! I had no idea it was a Finnish name...

RE: Wilson
Hey, I had a great uncle Wilson who passed away recently. I've considered the name for the Question Mark (should it be a boy, we wouldn't do that to a girl), but dh is deadset against it for the same reason you are. I too admit I have visions of the guy through the fence.
And as for Royal, wasn't that also Anne's boyfriend in Anne of Windy Poplars? I love everything about those books, but then again, I don't think there was anyone named after random luxury items on Prince Edward Island. So one could argue we're playing by a whole different set of rules in this day and age.

Um...Justus is also mentioned in the Bible. It also happens to be my brother's name, so I'm trying not to be too defensive. :^)

But Justus MAY in fact be a bad baby name if the parents aren't Finnish. You never know where the name came from. A kid named Starbuck might be named after the coffee shop, the Battlestar Galactica character (now a unisex name since the new show's gender change) or the Moby Dick character. (BTW if I were going to name a kid after that book I'd go with Queequeg so people would know I was literate...)

Also the Finnish pronunciation is like "Eustace" (YOO-stuss) not "Justice."

Hmmm. Stetson? Maybe it's not the hat or the cologne. Maybe it's simply that Mom's a "Scarecrow & Mrs. King" fan.

Just incase anyone is interested, Justus is not only one of your "bad name" picks, but to top that off...
Just Us is also a homo/bi sexual bar in Mississippi! Maybe the parents weren't aware or maybe they just wanted that poor child to be picked on. You decide.....

Justus is a Bible name (a child killed by the Romans because he wouldn't deny his Christian faith).
It's simply Latin for just, fair. Not really a creative spelling for an English word.

Ted'Quarius... you just know the kid has a brother called Lou'Gittarius, or maybe Mike'Ricorn...
