Are you an expecting mom looking for an inspiration to name your baby? Yeah, you want a super cool name. But going by what Reddit users voted as the worst baby names recently, you will wonder if they would in fact inspire you. Here’s the list of 21 names that most readers thought were the worst picks:
1. Abcde
Yes, it’s a name for real, and it’s a girl’s name. Apparently there are 328 humans in the US that have the name Abcde. So if you chose to name your girl Abcde, you wouldn’t be alone. Simply make up your mind around the pronunciation though!
2. Elizabreth
Indeed there is no typo. The inclusion of an ‘r’ is well-intended. However, a Reddit user likens it to sounding a Lizard Breath.
3. Meldor
This one surely sounds like a character from The Lord Of The Rings or a child fantasy film.
4. Aliviyah
Pretty much rhymes with Olivia. We only wonder if it is the next version.
5. Danger
She surely would grow up to be a super-woman we guess.
6. Mhavrych
Just another monicker to Maverick!
7. Beberly
Beberly vs. Beverly! We also think Beberly Hills.
8. Little Sweetmeat
That sounds yummy. And much shorter than Little Red Riding Hood. So it can still pass off as a trendsetter.
9. Nevaeh
This is what Heaven reads when you read it backwards. But we just hope it does not mean the opposite.
10. C’andre
Apparently it is pronounced ‘see-Andre’. The mother wanted the name to begin with a C. So that explains.
11. Colon
Well, we only need to figure out whether it means the colon as in the punctuation mark, or the colon as in our digestive tract! But it still stands out fanciful.
12. Baby
When your baby grows up, she will still be called a ‘baby’. That’s pretty cool until her dating days are over. Not when she must marry and settle down.
13. Merika
Is it cut-short from America or American? We guess the parents of this cool baby must be very patriotic. This one is sure to make America great again.
14. Panthy
Sounds like a panther-affiliate. Unless it actually is “like panty with a lisp,” as someone on Reddit questioned.
15. Jerica
What better way to blend two of your favorite names? If you are debating between Jessica and Erica, then Jerica is the way to go!
16. Reighleigh
Riley just gets a new spelling. Perhaps this mommy loves longer spellings, especially with additional ‘g’ and ‘h’ there.
17. Appaloosa
Wonder what got these parents to name their daughter Appaloosa. Was it the Ed Haris 2008 movie, or they simply love the horse breed by that name?
18. Gotham
Sure does sound like a heroic name. If Hollywood ever fell short of a superhero name, then Gotham is out there.
19. Yunique
We love the way this mother thought she could spell Unique for her baby’s name. It stands out as original.
20. Melanomia
God! If only this one knew that melanoma is a serious skin cancer that can spread to other parts of the body. Melanomia (with i) doesn’t sound very different.
21. Britney Shakira Beyonce
Yes, the perfect 3-in-1. If you want your daughter to take after all the three favourite stars of yours, then name them after all of them! We love the idea. We bet the initials will be BSB – this time it can’t be less than Backstreet Boys!
