Idiotic Baby Names

I taught little kids snowboarding for ten years I can't remember all the weird names I've heard. I met a Jesus not the Mexican version straight kid named jesus but that wasnt worse by far. My name is Nick, I've had jobs spell it Nic and Nik both times I asked them is there really people spelling Nick that way

I once had a boyfriend who spelled his name Nik. "Nikolas". His brother was "Erik". Apparently that's a Norwegian thing, but it still irks me! lol

I can't believe people would get annoyed by other peoples names. That seems beyond rude. "Omg why can't you just be normal and spell your name like everybody else. Stop trying to be unique! Conform! CONFORM!" I guess humans will ALWAYS find something to judge others by. Even if we all looked IDENTICAL, its good to know that so many people would be able to judge people just based on their names lol.

EDIT: imo people should spell their kids names however they want. If you're naming your kid Harry Ball or Poopface McGee then yea, thats a little uncalled for. But if i met someone who spelled Michael differently i wouldn't try and tell them that they're wrong lol.

"Nik" is a name that's common for countries such as Norway, Sweden, etc.

That being said, I hate my name. It's an uncommon version of "Erin" No one can ever pronounce when they see it on paper, and when I tell my name to people, they always write it down wrong. This also means if someone wants to look me up on facebook, they're never going to be able to find me.

It's not new really.

Every single thing about this poor bloke is comedic to a scotsman - from the start of the web address to the name of the chap;

OMG! I almost hyperventilated at this.

My boss spelled my name wrong for a long time on my cheques haha

Spelling doesn't really bother me since multiple languages have different ways of spelling a lot of names. I am Italian and my middle name is "Cristina", but in the US everybody thinks it is spelled wrong and spells it "Christina". They do the same thing to my first name all the time as well haha. They spell "Teresa" as "Theresa". I swear... everybody wants to put an "H" in my name lol.

Now... here are some names that just flat out made me laugh (not in front of them), confused me, or made me feel horrible for the child. All these names I have seen in person and have met while working at a kids store in the mall.

Deathrage --> Pronounced exactly how it look, and it was the name of an adorable 2 year old girl.
d'erecka and syd'erecka --> siblings 2 years apart in age. I was very confused on how to even go about pronouncing the names.
Toot Fudge --> I'm going to hell... I had to hold back my laughter :(.
Virgin --> *facepalm*



On a side note, I totally fell in love at first site with a guy that walked into the store I worked at that was named Kal-El ... Apparently I was the first person to catch the superman reference right away haha.


Clearly I am just going to name my never going to come to pass future children Bruce and Wayne. That way when I call them for dinner I can scream "BRUCE WAYNE. FOOD IS DONE." Just kidding... maybe.

My sister in law is a kindergarten teacher. She had two kids, brothers, that came through her class.
Orangejello
Lemonjello
....
Not even joking.

And Mike, I don't think most people are saying that the people are wrong, but the parents, for making their children live with these terrible names.

I've heard of a guy named Benjamin Dover on an AM radio talk show (it was a local, political talk show so it wasn't a funny stage name) He had a caller once that was like "Hey Ben" And he corrected him immediately, "It's Benjamin."
Ben Dover..

I've heard of the La-a, couldn't believe it was true.
Airwrecka, that's just...wow.

Other names that make me cringe, are imo "stage names" if you know what I mean...examples: Destiny, Mercedes, Cherry, Miracle, Porche, etc
