Some baby names are far worse than others. You might've encountered a baby name out in the wild that left you mystified, troubled, helplessly confused. It's as if the parents had a terrible lapse in judgement, and for whatever reason decided to curse their poor kid with a name that would go on to haunt them into their later years. Hopefully none of these ring a bell. For a similar AskReddit thread check out some dumb baby names that parents (somehow) had to be talked out of.

    Font - SDfojj · 3d My old boss said when she was pregnant everyone would ask what she was going to name the baby, and EVERYONE responded negatively to whatever name she came up with (like they had an ex or crazy uncle with that name). So she decided to look through a baby book and find the worst name she could. Pervis Merr. People just responded 'ohhhh....' after she told them that. G Reply 4 933 ...

    Font - HOWDY__YALL • 3d Michael. People named Michael will attest to this. Everywhere you go, there are 10 other Michaels. In school, there are likely 3 others in a moderately sized class. In an office setting? Try 4 other Michaels. If you name your kid Michael, you know they're going to be called by their last name or some other nickname. |+ G Reply 4 169 3 ...
