‘I accidentally named my son Bill Clinton': Parents Reveal Why They Regret the Names They Gave Their Kids

  Here's what Gabby said:

   

  Okay, serious question for parents. Do you ever regret what you named your kid? And I'm asking this because growing up, I kept, like, a list of potential baby names, and I was thinking about that list the other day, and I'm like, thank fucking God I didn't have a kid when I was, like, 16, 18, 222, 25. Because the names that I wrote down were fucking atrocious.

   

  For instance, I wanted to name my potential kids Sublime after the band Sublime. Bradley was another name that I had. Not that there's anything really wrong with the name Bradley, but I wanted that name specifically because it was the lead singer of Sublime. So I'm glad. I just would have regretted that. 

   

  So do you guys regret, ever regret what you named your kids?

  I had my daughter at 21. Now, there's nothing wrong with having kids at that age, but sometimes when you have kids on the younger side, you end up naming them how you would name, like, a baby doll or head. 

   

  I named my daughter Chloe. I still love that name. I named her Chloe with a K because my name starts with A-K, I still stand behind that decision. But here's where it gets a little weird. In some lame attempt at being, like, quirky and original, I ended up giving her two E's, which, okay, fine, it's not the worst thing in the world, but it gets worse. For a little bit of extra, like, spiciness, I decided I was going to give her an accent. She needed an accent in her name. She needed to be K-H-L-O-E with an accent. She just needed to be.

   

  Except when I filled out her paperwork for, like, a birth certificate. I put the accent in there, and I made sure to tell the nurse that I gave the information to you that that was an accident and that it may be on there. She had no idea how to put an accent on a letter while using a computer. So instead of just leaving it blank or, like, figuring it out, I don't even know if that's actually something that you could do.Whatever.She ends up using an Apostrophe instead on the documentation that gets sent off to the Social Security office for my daughter's legal name.

   

  So my daughter's name is K-H-L-O-E apostrophe E. All because her 21-year-old mom decided that she just needed an accent.
