As we recently learned with the New Zealand court case liberating the poorly named Tallulah Does the Hula to Hawaii from her cumbersome moniker, celebrities are not the only ones to dole out crappy names to their kids. Here are some awful names bestowed by civilians like you and me. And yes, they’re all real names.
Superman
Not a bad name, if you want to get beat up every day. This New Zealand couple (Again New Zealand, keep up the good work!) originally wanted the name 4Real, but NZ officials didn’t go for it. So Superman it was, arguably a more ridiculous name. Sadly I doubt this was the first time someone’s name was chosen purely out of spite.
Sh*thead
If you ever question how free we truly are in America, look no further then two parents naming their daughter Sh*thead. Now a grown woman, Sh*thead tries to mitigate the damage by insisting it’s pronounced Shi-TAYd. Nice try.
Nicholas Unless-Jesus-Christ-Had-Died-For-Thee-Thou-Hadst-Been-Damned Barbon
Apparently daddy was a holy roller.
Al Caholic
Somebody thought they were funny. But really, when you have the last name “Caholic” to work with, who could resist?
Roxanne Gravel
Get it? “rocks and gravel.” Cleverness kills a kid’s school career once again.
Felanie
A pregnant woman liked the name Melanie, but also like the idea of a name that starts with “F.” Viola! Felanie. It’s funny how you can’t see something so obvious until it’s too late.
Governor Bush
Seems a little short sighted now, doesn’t it?
Doctor Love
For once a novelty name might actually help a kid get a leg up in the world. Let’s hope he develops a passion for fur jackets and yellow fedoras.
Sloth Washton
Often people name their pets by characteristics they first notice about the animals. We named our first cat “Romy” because she liked to rome around a lot. Yes, newborns are a bit sluggish, but maybe Sloth’s parents should have waited a little longer before settling on that name. And this brings us to…
Satan
Talk about prejudging your child. I’ll admit, this is what I call my toddler all the time, but it’s just a nickname. Maybe the Australia couple who went with this had their hand forced because Australia was all out of the other names.
Heard any worse ones????
