Naming a child is not an exact science. Believe me, I know. Before my daughter was born, family and friends bombarded me with possible names for a child. Some of them I kinda liked (Hannah, Karina, Miranda) and others I rejected outright (Edna, Myrtice, Pearl).
But I do believe the nine names below are the all-time worst ever inflicted upon a child, and the world at large.
1. Zzyzx
Who would do this to a child?!?At least 5 babies in the United States have the name Zzyzx, pronounced “Zay-zix.” Personally, I consider naming a kid Zzyzx to be child abuse.
2. Nimrod
I know this name comes from the Bible: Nimrod is?Noah’s great-grandson. But do you want to subject a child to the abuse he will get his entire life if you tag him with this?
3. Moo
“Moo” is a unisex name that is actually used by a few Americans. Cruel. Very cruel.
4. Lucifer
Lucifer actually means “Light bringer” in Latin. But still, really? You want to have your child’s name be associated with evil? Not cool.
5. Dzyre
“Look how cool I am. I just named my child after the ‘desire’ that led to their conception! Awesome!” At which point someone should slap the parent who did this.
6. Abcde
If you’re this lazy, then you probably don’t deserve to be a parent.?Pronounced “Ab-sid-ee,” it’s a very bad idea to use this name for a person. Also not a good idea to give the name to a dog or cat, both of whom could kill you in your sleep.
7. Bush
As a liberal, this one offends me deeply. You want to name your kid after one of the biggest failures to ever serve as President? Be sure the child takes judo lessons at a young age.
8. Jealousy
Children have been named after virtues–Hope, Faith, Joy–so some genius thought it would be a good idea to name a child after a vice. It’s not a good idea. Not at all.
9. Mc
Do you pronounce this one “Mick” or “Mcee?” Either way, it’s not what anyone should name a child. Get over yourself and use a real name.
