People Share The Dumbest Baby Names They've Ever Heard

Many people think that stupid baby names result from modern hubris. Foolish young parents give kids names that they won't grow into and will be the reason for their career failures later in life. However, we've always had slightly silly baby names. My dad was born in the sixties, and his middle name is literally Ransom. There were women in the 1800s named Prudence. I'm sorry, but random adjectives and nouns as names have aged far worse than the "Everleighs" of today ever will. 

While some names are timeless (you really can't go wrong with Beth and George), and other names are products of their times (Hello Britney, Ashley, and Heather), some names do not belong anywhere. If you have one of these names, you will be shunned by society from your first days on this earth, and it won't get any better from there. Redditors shared the baby names of such wretched souls, and you can't help but feel sorry for them.
