Stupid names for a child

[WarEagleFan]

Oops sorry - didn’t even think about cuss words not being allowed in my post, but those actually were their names - poor kiddos

I feel like "Sha-theed" is one of the urban legends you hear a lot.

I’m a teacher so co e across a lot of weird names as well. I had a girl named Amirykal pronounced a miracle.
A teacher friend told me she had twins a boy named Male pronounced ma lay and girl named Female pronounced fa ma lay.

It’s been 25+ years since I encountered these names, but I do think the Sha-theed was told to us by one of our ER doctors, so maybe so with the urban legend. But the other 2 I remember being in the ER. I remember one of our male nurses saying to the mom of Ovaries - Mom do you realize his name is spelled the same as ovaries, and she just looked at him like what are you talking about. And with @$$hole we kind of joked that the 2 dots over the O must make it okay.

I saw a show the other day that made me think of this thread. It was a show about real people looking for a new home in a foreign city (House Hunters International). Her daughter was named Free Spirit, called "Free" for short.

 

[Kennywood]

Oh, that could cause problems for her later in life.

"Hi, I'm Free."
"I bet you are...."

At least you know those words and can pronounce them. We see so many crazy kids names at the hospital that my coworker said one time that the person obtaining the info for the birth certificate should have the authority to say - I’m sorry but that name is not an option, you need to come up with a different name for your baby - haha

Sorry if this has already been mentioned (TL-DR this zombie thread);
"Moxie Crimefighter"
Penn had Moxie on "Fool Us" and it was actually really sweet - so I kinda changed my mind on this one - but definitely not for everyone.

In my grandsons class there's a kid named "Bear" So I thought, ok (not to be sexist) but I thought Bear would be a boys name... nope a tiny, blond little girl. So wrong, in so many ways.

I really wish parents would remember that they're naming a child, not a puppy.

I also can't figure out how Trey or usually spelled Tre became a popular boys name? Because the first time I heard that name Trey was because of singer Trey Lorenz and I never knew that Trey would become a popular name. I also found T'Challa to be a popular boys name too. But you never see names like Icarus or Athena becoming popular names today

Trey is often used as a nickname for a male that is "The Third" as in "John K. Doe III"

I was watching a House Hunters show where the mother named her son Havoc. She said she named him that to "make him strong". What she actually doing is making sure his teachers look at his name and mentally say, "Oh boy, here comes trouble!"

Who names someone Havoc? The only time I knew about Havoc was due to the X-Men character and he spells Havoc with k not a c. I guess if you name someone Havoc or spell it Havok you could nickname him Havi "pronounced Hah-vee"

Family friend was an OB nurse, managed to talk one woman out of naming her newborn daughter "Placenta" because, as the woman explained, "It was the first thing I saw!".....

I think that one is an old urban legend.

Baby comes before the placenta, I’ve never seen one and I gave birth to 5 kids.

Right?! Who is looking at the placenta when they have a wrinkled little baby to look at instead??

Anytime you give your child a name they aren't going to use you are causing them big problems. If you name your son William and he goes by Bill he can run into big problems at security. If his ID says William and the plane ticket says Bill he could get denied passage by security.

Three of my adult kids go by nicknames, never had any issues. A pet peeve of mine is a nickname as a given name, like naming a boy Joe, Jim or Liam.
