'Twin brothers named Tom and Jerry': Top 15+ unfortunate baby names

Always think twice before naming your child. Seriously, just because you're itching to name your kid after a fruit, think about their experience for a brief moment. Think about how they might be treated at school. Think about how their name might sound with their last name. Look up your name and check if there are any strange meanings or cultural associations people may have with that word or sound. Say the name out loud multiple times to hear how it sounds and to ensure it's not accidentally humorous. 

If you do not follow these steps, you may very well end up like these folks, whose name choices are embarrassing at worst and slightly regrettable at best. Thankfully, the people who were sharing these unfortunate names were not the victims themselves, but rather passersby who came across them through school, work, or friends.
